Maybe you don't have Amazon dropoff locations, but essentially I walk in the door, walk to a staff member handling returns, and they scan a QR code on my phone and I hand over the item. Never encountered a line and am always out within a minute.

It doesn't need to be packed in a taped box with a label on it.

That's kind of cool, good to know. Unfortunately in my small metro area of 2.5M people, there are exactly three locations to drop-off, two of which are downtown and not easy to drive in and out of.

Hopefully they are planning to expand those options.

That might explain the difference. I've never taken advantage of the dropoffs, I'm not sure if there are any near me.
