This is one of the reasons I don't buy a lot of stuff from amazon anymore. I don't have a printer to make return labels and easy returns are cold comfort. At the end of the day I just prefer to go in person to a store or order from a big box store. As long as you stay away from their weird 3rd party sellers, I feel pretty sure I'm getting real cereal or whatever.

Where I’m at you can return products “as-is” to a Kohl’s Department Store and they will handle packaging and shipping back to Amazon. The refund starts processing sooner, too. I’m not sure how widespread this option is, though.

Recently you can just bring items to your choice of businesses near you like UPS Store or Whole Foods, they handle the packing and shipping for you.

That's great! And if I order a defective product then I'm happy to do that. But I can't always tell the difference between real and fake items. It took me a long time to realize I was using likely fake shaving soap.
This just seems like a problem I can sidestep entirely by just going to Target or Walmart or whatever.
