That’s exactly it. Warehouse deal is “package got damaged in the warehouse” or “used a bit and returned” or similar. Once that one is gone, that’s it. Unless you know someone who works there that can have a few regular forklift accidents.
Well I returned these. Someone returned the Wiha set with Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches.

I bought a 10- pack of 1” floor flanges.
Only 7 in the box…
They are going back.

I'm usually pretty careful about being sure it says free prime delivery and free returns but recently I got a motorcycle chain which was missing the connecting link and amazon wouldn't let me select the usual "missing parts or pieces". Then they wanted $7.99 to have a driver stop to pick it up... I guess technically the return was free but not really if I have to drive to a bigger city to drop it off at a UPS store. If they make it too hard I'll have to be done with warehouse deals even though there are some deals.

When they want me to pay for pickup,I print the label and text my ups driver that I have pickup whenever he is by or hand to him when I get a delivery.

That's a great idea, unfortunately we just got a new driver and as of yet "standoffish" is being generous.
Not sure how Remote you are but I can drop off a return anywhere that accepts or sends UPS packages. The return menu process on Amazon tries to push me to drop off at a UPS Store (25min) or even a Kohls (15min), which will take an un-packaged return just by setting it on the CS counter. But I am also able to take it to my local CVS store which is 4min away if I print out the label and repackage it myself. I have found that only the Large packages are Free pick-up at my door via UPS driver. I don't have Prime and never paid for a return or pick up.

This can be spot on, but it changes (amazon's attitude) from time to time. A couple of months ago (in my region) Prime purchases returns had to be only through (official) UPS stores (no matter what); they didn't give other options online, you had to physically return the item to an official UPS store, not just mail box store that accepted UPS drop offs, Amazon was not allowing printable UPS return labels. You had to go to an official UPS store without a shipping label and they would print it out for you and take the item, the local mailbox stores wouldn't accept them because there was no UPS label. It was a total nightmare with long lines out the door. But thankfully (I think) thats been reversed, I think Amazon likes to test the water to see what they can get away with to save return costs. I was swearing never to buy from them again while standing in line. The absolute worst part, they wouldn't show this clause anywhere in the listing before you purchased the item. Please read everything before purchases and it can be like walking through a landline field buying through Amazon, especially when so much China **** is being listed with false promises and quickly failing products but you still have to drive somewhere, wait in line to return it. I will say, I was able again to start printing UPS returns, and free UPS pickup or drop it off at my very close Whole foods but thats not the case for everyone.
I recommend to call and speak to a live person (be patient), almost always they arrange a free pick up and send you with a free UPS pickup label but its getting harder and harder to find a way to speak to a live person but it's still doable.

Returns are easy in the city. I went to Kohls and gave them the tool without any packaging. The customer service clerk scanned the QR code from my phone. The receipt had a $5 Kohls coupon on it. Amazon refunded my credit card three hours later.

More often than not we get a 25% off coupon. It’s pretty easy to walk through kohls and pick up $100 worth of useful stuff.

If she's getting genuine Honda fluid that cheap, she should have bought a couple of cases extra and sold it on EBAY.
