In Sweden. Never paid postage to return anything to a shop. Never paid postage to send a product anywhere, actually, be it for warranty or what have you. Typically the store either gives you a shipping label to print out, or they send you one.
That’s usually how it is in America too. Amazon started charging $1 if you took it to a courier office instead of a Whole Foods (Amazon-owned grocery store chain) if the Whole Foods was closer to you.
It’s just a regular grocery store, albeit a rather expensive one. They give discounts for Prime members. In the back, there is an area where workers accept Amazon returns and you can also pick up orders there in the odd chance you would ever do that instead of having it delivered to your home at no extra cost…?
Edit: I remembered that some people might want packages delivered here if they’re frequent victims of package theft
Just the idea of a corporation growing to that size gives me the ickies. It’s just one step closer to a corporate town. I’m sure the service is great for now.
Thankfully Amazon hasn’t really managed to settle properly where I’m from. They’re great for weird niche products, but they’re not your go-to for most things.
I agree. The US Federal Trade Commission is actually taking legal action against them for anticompetitive monopolistic practices right now, which could result in the company being broken up.
Honestly, Whole Foods sold overpriced crap before they were acquired by Amazon and continued to sell overpriced crap afterwards. For comparison, a box of store-brand macaroni and cheese, obviously an American staple food eaten on a daily basis, costs twice as much at Whole Foods compared to a regular grocery store (Walmart, Kroger, &c.) and triple what it would cost at a cheap grocery store.
Pound of chicken breast at Whole Foods: $6
Pound of chicken breast at Walmart: $3
Pound of chicken breast at WinCo: $2
and
Frozen pizza at Whole Foods: $10
Frozen pizza at Walmart: $4
It’s like this for basically everything. If you’d normally spend $80 a week on grocery, you’d instead spend $150 at Whole Foods. But at least the food is organic, right??
Det inte sant,eller?? Även med Biltema, Stadium ? Aldrig har provat, jag tar grejer direkt till butik. Om det är sant jag vill gärna stoppa köra att bära retur.grejerna.
Aldrig köpt från dessa butiker. Om du har köpt i butik så antar jag att retur sker i butik. Annars skulle jag tro att de står för returen. Kolla med kundtjänst.

The thought of Amazon selling food too creeps me out so bad.

One reason you’d get something delivered to an Amazon locker or work or whole foods is if your home or apartment doesn’t have a secure mail room.

Whole
PaycheckFoods existed before Amazon (I’m fairly sure).Honesty I didn’t realize Amazon had acquired them.
Yeah they were big before Amazon bought them. It was a huge investment to try to get into grocery

That makes sense. Why establish something new when you can just buy it.
