I guess the following is Amazon's solution to the "send-back-a-tracked-box-of-rocks" return scam that we all hear about (or worse, experience as sellers).
I had to return something to A recently and rather than let me print a label and drop at a UPS box right by my house, there was absolutely NO option to print any kind of label... I was merely instructed to to capture a QR code and then was told I had to visit a UPS counter in person with the loose item. "For my convenience," they would take it from me, scan the QR code Amazon had generated for me, and wrap it, send it, etc.
I was feeling cranky about it when I realized that they probably have to do it this way now (at least in my town, where we don't have a Kohl's) to counter all the fake/deceitful returns going on in the 2020's. All those buyers who intended to send back an old item, a broken item, rocks, whatever, are probably pretty bummed to be outsmarted in this one little way!
