> So it looks to amazon as being successfully delivered to the return warehouse, but what actually got delivered was a brick, to some random house

but how amazon does not check the quality of the return? I mean, even if UPS confirms that the package arrived to right address, wouldn't someone from amazon warehouse check if the package is valid?

Well there is nothing for them to check. From what I've read, they wait two weeks then mark the package as 'lost in transit'.

I think for the last-mile of delivery, couriers rely on the actual address written on the package, not the address that the barcode scans to. I might be wrong though.
