Step-by-Step: How to Start an Amazon Return (Part 1)

1

Start Your Return in the Amazon App

Open the Amazon app or website and navigate to "Your Orders." Locate the item you wish to return to begin the process.

2

Pick Your Reason for Returning

Select the specific reason for your return from the provided list (e.g., "defective," "no longer needed"). This helps Amazon process your request accurately.

3

Confirm the Packaging Status

Common Problems & How We Help

! Wrong packaging
! Missing accessories
! Confusing labels
! No printer at home
! Misreading steps
! QR code confusion

"If Amazon only provides a QR code with no printable label, you must take that return to an authorized Amazon partner."

When You Should NOT Use Mailbox Plus

  • ✕ Amazon only gave you a QR code
  • ✕ Amazon forced the return to a specific partner location
  • ✕ Amazon requires in-person verification
If the return instructions only show a QR code with no option for a shipping label, we cannot process that return. Mailbox Plus is not an Amazon hub or Amazon return desk — pre-labeled returns only.

Holiday Return Extensions

During the holiday season (typically November and December), Amazon often extends its return window. This means gifts purchased early can often be returned into January. Check your order details for specific deadlines.

✓ Local, owner-operated business
✓ Minutes from I-90 and OH-44

Shipping a Lot of Amazon Returns? Your Address Is on Every One.

Every Amazon return label you print has your home address on it. Every package sitting on your porch is visible to every driver, neighbor, and passerby.

If you're shipping returns regularly, a Mailbox Plus private mailbox gives you a real street address in Concord Township — all your returns go to our counter, not your porch. We sign for packages from UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL. From $35/month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers to the most common questions about packaging, carriers, pricing, and what to expect.

Can Mailbox Plus scan my Amazon QR code?

No. Mailbox Plus cannot scan or accept Amazon QR codes. These returns must be completed at Amazon-authorized partners such as The UPS Store, Kohl’s, Whole Foods, or Amazon Hub. We CAN help you with Amazon returns that include a printed shipping label.

Do you charge for helping with Amazon returns?

We may charge for packaging materials, packing services, or printing labels. If your item is already labeled and ready to ship, the cost is minimal.

Do you control whether Amazon approves my refund?

No. Amazon controls all refund decisions. We handle the packing and shipping portion only.

Can you print my Amazon label if I don’t have a printer?

Yes. Send it to returns@mailboxplusohio.com. We charge a $2.00 fee for label printing.

Do you help with returns for other retailers besides Amazon?

Yes. Bring any return label or instructions (UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL) and we will assist.

“Great place with easy and fast shipping services. Frank was excellent! Not only was he friendly and professional, but went out of his way to find me the easiest and most affordable option to ship my golf clubs across country while I was visiting OH. Made things simple and my travels way easier.”

5 out of 5 stars

“This is my new favorite place for shipping and returns. Helpful and happy staff. It just doesn’t get any easier when you have returns with multiple shippers. UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Happy Returns, etc. They can also ensure you get the best shipping rates because they provide service for so many shippers. Just awesome!!!”

“Frank, the owner of Mailbox Plus in Concord Township by Lucky’s Market, is truly exceptional. He is brilliant, thoughtful, attentive, and takes the work of shipping and transportation seriously. I have been mailing sentimental items—some quite large and bulky—to different parts of the U.S., and Frank consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is handled with care. Most recently, my friend received a set of 10 collector plates, and they arrived safe and sound because they were packaged so exceptionally well. If you talk with Frank, you quickly learn that he has a real philosophy and a deep sense of care when it comes to shipping people’s belongings. He treats each item with respect, and that means so much. Beyond the quality of his work, Frank is simply a good man. He listened kindly while we rang up the transaction, and having such a friendly, caring person behind the counter made the experience even more meaningful. I am grateful for his help and highly recommend supporting this store.”
