Amazon has a major league return-abuse problem. Maybe this is a way for them to slightly discourage returns? We have a store here that sells Amazon returns. It's pretty insane. The first day everything is $6 and then each day it goes down a dollar until the last day - $2 day. The next week, all new stuff. I frequently find things valued at $100+ on $2 day. Another observation: at least half of all returned car parts and tools are used. i.e., somebody puts new brake rotors on and returns the old ones for a full refund. Amazon does not open and/or check their returns. These boxes are all still sealed from the customer. They just throw all the returns into bins and auction them off in bulk. You can box up a brick and send it back, it doesn't matter to them.
