Simplify US seller-fulfilled returns with the new Returns Provider program

To help international sellers manage seller-fulfilled returns from US customers, we’re launching the Returns Provider (RP) program.

If you don’t have a US return address, the Returns Provider program can connect you with service providers to manage your returns.

Using the program simplifies domestic returns, allows you to recoup return costs, and ensures a seamless customer returns experience. Once enrolled in the program, you can receive Prepaid returns for seller-fulfilled orders with the provider’s domestic warehouse address, enabling you to further streamline customer returns.

The Returns Provider program will launch to a limited number of international sellers on February 16, 2022 February 22, 2022, and then to all sellers by March 2022.

For more information, see Returns Provider (RP) program.

To be clear, international (non-domestic) Sellers on amazon.com have only ever had THREE options for returns, within Amazon policy:

  1. Returnless refunds
  2. Pre-paid and Seller-funded international return label, regardless of return reason
  3. A US-based return address

This announcement is nothing new, policy-wise. Amazon is announcing an integrated service to streamline option 3.

International Sellers have the option to enroll in the RP program, where they will choose from Amazon-vetted, US-based return providers and begin offering their Buyers automatically-generated, Seller-funded, pre-paid return shipping labels to the domestic RP address.

So international accounts get to recoup return costs and I get nothing.
Why can’t I recoup my return costs? Why are you so against US sellers?

Amazon should help sellers handle so many fake counterfeit and IP claims issues, get a much better group shipping rates, eliminate the unfair competitions due to fake reviews, and many more things which really benefit sellers.

Should the proposals in Congress become law Amazon is hedging its bets as the U.S. laws will not apply to non U.S. based sellers. Therefore Amazon’s scammers will have a whole new market to rob from.

And of course Amazon will either be the parent of this new “RP” program, or will have worked out kick-backs (excuse me - fees - I get those mixed up sometimes with Amazon) so Amazon makes even more undeclared money (look at your 1099-K, see the itemization for “sales-tax”? Notice this is reported in the gross income Amazon paid you? I do not remember Amazon disbursing to me any sales tax they charged and collected on my sales. So why is Amazon claiming they paid it to me when allegedly they are supposed to remit it directly to the sales tax authorities in the relative states? Is Amazon "double dipping by claiming they paid to sales tax to us as gross sales thereby taking an earned income deduction and then taking a separate deduction when they actually paid the sales tax to the proper authorities? I have no legal authority to claim I charged, collected and paid sales tax to all the tax authorities that Amazon reported as my gross since I do not have accounts with any of the tax authorities except my own home state. On the same token how come Amazon does NOT give us a complete total of all the fees they charged us in the calendar year and instead also lumps into gross amount reported? Is this a way Amazon skirts reporting earned income? Yes you deduct the amounts from your tax return, but do you also report the fees and sales taxes back as Amazon’s income? We do, by sending Amazon a 1099-M).
