When you return an item purchased on Amazon, your refund amount and refund method may vary. You can return items purchased on Amazon using the drop off locations, pickup options, Amazon lockers or Amazon hubs. While some returns may be free, Amazon will actually charge you in most cases. Alternatively, you can choose to ship the item on your own, booking the delivery with Eurosender and saving on costs.

Amazon returns policy for third-party sellers
There are multiple reasons why buyers may decide to send items back to Amazon third-party seller – they received the wrong product, colour, size, the item was damaged during the delivery, or the customer doesn’t want the item anymore. Sellers can accept the same return policy as Amazon provides or set their own.
- The seller can offer delivery options to the buyer and have to refund standard delivery charges corresponding to the least expensive type of service provided by them.
- If the customer refuses to return the item, the Seller is not required to refund or replace an order.
- While most sellers offer a returns policy equivalent to Amazon’s, some seller returns policies may vary. You can read the return policy of the seller before you purchase an item on the seller profile page.
How to pack different items before sending them back to Amazon?
Depending on the return method you choose, you may or may not have to pack your items. If you opt for taking them to a drop off location, most of the times, extra packaging is not required. However, if you chose to have the items collected at your address either by an Amazon provider or by a courier of your own choice, the proper packing is crucial when shipping items domestically or internationally. At Eurosender, we have created a set of pack and ship pages to help our customers secure their goods for transportation. Here are some of the items people ship to Amazon the most:

FAQs – How to return items purchased on Amazon
I don’t have the original packaging to send the item back to Amazon. What do I do?
Amazon encourages customers to return products in the same condition in which you received. When you return items purchased on Amazon with shipping services, and you don’t have the original packaging anymore, use a sturdy cardboard box. Bubble wrap the products and add enough cushioning materials such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts. Close and seal the box carefully and attach the return shipping label provided by Amazon or the chosen courier provider.
If you return goods to Amazon through Eurosender, you will get a shipping label via email.
What is the Amazon Return Label and how do I receive it?
When returning items to Amazon, you will be able to choose between Amazon shipping methods or your own trusted courier provider. If you opt to have your items collected by Amazon logistics provider, you will be given an Amazon Return Label that you should attach to the final packaging of your items. Alternatively, when choosing to ship with your trusted courier service provider, you may or may not have to attach this label by yourself.
When booking returns to Amazon with Eurosender, this information will be sent to you by email as it will depend on the country of pickup and selected logistics provider.

- downloadable software products;
- some jewellery items;
- health and personal care items etc.
Can you return opened items to an Amazon reseller?

Can I organise the return of multiple items to Amazon in the same box?
Yes, you can return multiple items to Amazon drop off location or lockers in the same package.
Can I return products to Amazon after 30 days?
Amazon provides returns within 30 days of receipt of delivery. However, in some cases, troubleshooting and product support may resolve any issues with your product after this period. If your item becomes defective after Amazon’s return period, Amazon will repair it. If repair is not possible, Amazon will replace the item or refund the purchase price if the replacement is not possible.
What is Amazon mailing address for returns?
When arranging the return to Amazon, you will be provided with the address, depending on the return method, the reason for the return, and type of item.
For returning goods to third-party sellers, you’ll receive a mailing label that can be accessed and printed from the Returns Support Centre. Alternatively, some Sellers have special processes and might send you an email with their return address and mailing instructions.
Do I have to print the return label by myself when sending items back to Amazon?
It depends on the return method you choose. When using the drop off locations or Amazon authorised hubs, you don’t need to print and attach the label.
If you are sending items back to Amazon or its Marketplace sellers by courier or post, you will often need to print and attach the label provided to you.
