Well, if it\u2019s from Amazon, you\u2019re in luck! You can return most gifts by following these easy steps. And the best part? The gift-giver will never know!<\/p>\n<p>Gift-giving can be tricky and not every gift is a hit. Rather than shove an unwanted Amazon gift into the back of a closet, you can easily return it. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Gift_Giver_Wont_Know_And_Youll_Get_a_Gift_Card\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">The Gift Giver Won\u2019t Know (And You\u2019ll Get a Gift Card)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people don\u2019t realize that when you return an Amazon gift, the money goes directly to <em>you<\/em>. If you have an Amazon account, the funds will be loaded onto your gift card balance once you send the item back. Even though the purchase was completed online using the gift giver\u2019s Amazon account, returns function like they would with a brick-and-mortar store. When you take a gift back to Macy\u2019s, the returns department at Macy\u2019s doesn\u2019t refund the gift giver\u2019s credit card or notify them after all.<\/p>\n<p>So you can return the Amazon gift without worrying the gift giver will know. Then you can shop for something you want, without them being hurt that you didn\u2019t like the original item (unless they come over and ask to see it\u2014then you\u2019re in trouble).<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Return_Your_Amazon_Gifts\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">How to Return Your Amazon Gifts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few small things to keep in mind depending on how you received the gift (and how the gift was processed in the Amazon system).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_Returns_If_You_Have_a_Gift_Receipt\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Amazon Returns If You Have a Gift Receipt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, check to see if your gift came with a gift receipt or an order number. If you have either of those, you can start your return <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/returns\/gift?tag=lifesavvysite-20\">here<\/a>. Naturally, returning an Amazon gift with an actual gift receipt is the easiest.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_Returns_If_You_Dont_Have_a_Gift_Receipt\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Amazon Returns If You Don\u2019t Have a Gift Receipt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If a friend or relative sent you something but didn\u2019t select \u201cgift\u201d when ordering, or there is no order number or gift receipt included, don\u2019t worry! Chances are you can still return the item, all without the gift giver knowing (and the money still going to you!).<\/p>\n<p>Start by contacting <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/contact-us\/?tag=lifesavvysite-20\">customer service,<\/a> telling them you received a gift, but there was no order number or gift receipt included. They\u2019ll ask for the gift giver\u2019s email address (hopefully, you have access to this!). After that, it should be smooth sailing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_Items_You_Cant_Return\"><\/span>Amazon Items You Can\u2019t Return<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is an exception to the smooth sailing bit, however. Unfortunately, items that were purchased from an Amazon third-party seller must be returned by the <em>original purchaser<\/em>\u2014meaning you won\u2019t be able to return those items by yourself (bummer).<\/p>\n<p>You can check to see if this is the case by looking up the item on Amazon or by contacting customer service.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Ship_Amazon_Returns_Back\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">How to Ship Amazon Returns Back<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the gift is eligible for return (with or without a gift receipt) you\u2019ll then be given options for returning your unwanted gift. Most Amazon returns are now done through UPS, although you can <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/15435\/return-amazon-purchases-to-kohls-they-pack-it-you-get-a-coupon\/?tag=lifesavvysite-20\">return certain Amazon gifts to Kohl\u2019s if you have an order number.<\/p>\n<p>Customer service will let you know your options. And you don\u2019t even have to package up the item\u2014they\u2019ll do it for you! And, if you use the Kohl\u2019s return option, not only do you get the ease of just dropping it off for them to package and ship back, but your drop-off confirmation receipt also acts as a coupon for shopping at Kohl\u2019s that day. And that little Kohl\u2019s coupon bonus isn\u2019t just some sort of \u201cSorry you didn\u2019t like your gift\u201d consolation prize. You get a coupon every time you return anything from Amazon, even if you\u2019re returning your own purchases.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, dealing with unwanted gifts (well, those that have come from Amazon) has gotten a whole lot easier!
