You don't need to leave the house. When you return something Amazon gives you the option to drop off or have UPS pickup the package the next day.

As far as I know, they'll only do that for really expensive items. I've never been given the pickup option for my returns (the most expensive was worth a bit under $300).

I've seen it for a variety of items, but I'm in downtown Manhattan- I suspect the economies of scale make a difference here.

The local delivery is a killer.

I can order by 9AM and, for just $3.99, have it delivered that same day.

The first time I did this, I forgot I even had Prime, so I was ready to pay for that for 3-5 day shipping. What a pleasant surprise that was!
