Amazon does... they email a shipping label while they are on the phone
with you... all you need do is repackage, slap on the label, and
either bring it to the carrier's pick up station or opt to have the
carrier pick up at your house... Amazon will ask your preference. Most
major on line sellers do the same. Naturally you can't be returning
most everything you purchase or they will deem you a nut job and stop
honoring your requests.
