Returning an item to Amazon is usually straightforward. In most cases, Amazon provides a return label that you’re expected to print and attach to your parcel.
If you don’t have a printer at home, there are both free and paid options available in the UK.
Free Ways to Print an Amazon Return Label
Amazon often provides printer-free return options, depending on the item and your location.
These may include:
Label Printing in Store
Some return methods allow you to show a QR code at a participating drop-off point. The shop will print the label for you when you hand over the parcel.
Printer-Free Drop-Off
In certain cases, you simply present a QR code and the carrier handles the labelling for you.
However, these options:
Are not available for every item
Depend on your postcode and return method
May require travel to a specific drop-off location
May not be convenient for everyone
If you live in a rural area, work during shop hours, or prefer not to travel, these free options might not suit you.
How to Print an Amazon Return Label Without a Printer
If Amazon provides a downloadable PDF return label, you can use an online print-and-post service instead of printing it yourself.
Step 1: Download the Return Label
Log into your Amazon account and download the return label PDF after confirming your return.
Step 2: Upload to a Print-and-Post Service
Upload the PDF to a UK-based online printing service that prints and posts documents.
Step 3: Receive Your Printed Label
The service prints your Amazon return label on A4 paper and posts it to your home address.
Step 4: Attach and Return
Once it arrives:
Cut out the label
Attach it securely to your parcel
Follow Amazon’s return instructions
Drop the parcel off as directed
