When did they make the UPS change? I made a return last week, no charge.

I had to return a DOA item last week and they imposed the charge for the first time. It depends on your specific situation though. In my case a Staples is physically closer than a UPS store, but I'm never near the Staples while I'm in the UPS store parking lot twice a week.

It wouldn't bother me if I were returning items because I changed my mind, but when I'm already inconvenienced because of crappy product quality I don't expect to be further inconvenienced so Amazon can save a buck.

I think it depends on the cost/reason of return, and where you’re returning it. Sometimes I have to pay a $1 fee to take to a UPS store but taking it to Kohl’s drop off is free.
