Amazon

[M0005]

Hi! We need to order something on Amazon for our trip to Disney World. I know we can have it delivered directly to the resort. The problem is that, if it is not what we expected, we would want to return it and cannot fly home with it. Have you ever returned something via Amazon while at Disney World? Where is the nearest drop-off/pick up location for returns? We are not renting a car, and it would be financially foolish to take an Uber to a return spot (at that point, we might as well just donate or throw away the item).

You can't know until you try to return it. Even at home I get different return location options and different pricing depending on some formula only Amazon knows. I sincerely doubt there is anywhere onsite where you can do amazon returns with just a QR code and even if there is- unknown if it will be an option for your order. There are shipping centers but they tend to charge for processing packages, even if they allow a free drop you'd still have to package your item back up which will at a minimum involve buying some packing tape from them.

You mentioned it's not even worth an Uber to return (which would only by like $20 RT) so I feel like you should know Disney sometimes charges package handling fees of like $6 or something for receiving shipped items and it's not something you can get waived if it is assessed to your account.

Thanks! I thought this would be the answer but was hoping it would not be. I was secretly hoping someone would point out that there is a drop-off point at like Disney Springs or something...

You might be able to ask at the FD if they can print up the return label you can generate from either the website or the app. Most Amazon returns are by UPS and the resorts do have regular drop offs, so you may also be able to leave it with the FD for a pick up. Or, at one of the business centers at one of the convention hotels, there could be a fee either way. It might not be as difficult as you think. Like a previous poster mentioned, you will most likely be charged a $6 package fee for whatever you order. But, if you can't fly home with it why order it or even worry if the item isn't what you think? Don't buy something, use it, then return to Amazon at the end of your trip. Amazon will not always refund you if it's an item that has been used - it asks when you generate the return label.

As I was reading your post I was thinking “I can’t believe this person is suggesting they go to the Fire Department to print an Amazon label.” I eventually figured it out!

Sorry! Front desk!
