Has anyone ever returned a large item back to Amazon before?
I got an electric scooter and it may be defective and unsafe because it’s making weird noises. I’m afraid they won’t take it back because I tried it outdoors, even though I only rode it for 20 mins max

I once tried to return a $1000 massage chair with a slight defect and they legit said “keep it and we will refund you”

Interesting. I didn’t get that when I tried. They just said they will cover $3.99 of the shipping back cost which scared me because I know this will be a lot more expensive than that

Forgive me, bc I know this will sound like I’m talking nonsense. But—you know who might have an answer? Amazon.

Just looking for similar experiences of the process of returning and shipping back

I generally schedule a UPS pickup, find a box that’s large enough, and package it up. That way I don’t have to figure out how to get the large box to the ups store. (Did this with a tv recently. I used the box that the tv had come in)

It’s usually $6.99 for pickup, but that’s worth it for the convenience, especially for an expensive item

I thought you could take Amazon stuff to Kohls to return there.

I've returned large items. Some things they didn't want back (ie mattresses) and wrote off, others they would send a carrier to pick up. I needed to return an office chair that had been assembled. I just needed to explain why it wasn't going back in the box and once they understood it was easy going.

If you say it’s defective they will cover cost of return shipping

Oh ok don’t know how it works in Canada. I would go for the shipping label. If you end up being charged more you should argue with them to get reimbursed

It literally takes ten seconds to request a return on Amazon.

72k + 7% bonus + WFH permanently

Or

90k hybrid 2-3 days in the office. (20min drive now however I am moving an 1.5 hours away)

They both have their benefits and company match.

The 90k is also a new team so a lot of growth opportunity while the 72k is well established team. If this matters at all.

For example if I put in my 2 weeks on a Wednesday, will I burn bridges if my last day is the following Friday?
