Those UPS A.R.S. Return labels that some companies give you to return product for "free". A warning to all you might get scammed by one of these labels. All they really are is mostly just promotion of UPS stores, hence it is free to drop off to a UPS store, and also the company giving you the label gets a discount on the shipping cost if you drop off at a UPS store as well.
The scam is: Most companies do not include a pick up with their labels, so if you have to call for a pick up, then it'll be $10 to pick up your package. Yes, even through UPS "normally" charges $4 per box for a "normal" pick up. Often times the $10 charge can meet of exeed the cost of postage if you were to just pay the post office instead.
So what a rip! So these labels, "free" only if you get the package into the UPS system they way THEY want you to, deviate from that in any way, NOT FREE.
