I’ve never been asked to print a barcode and put it in the box. I just returned a $300 item last week, and all they wanted me to do was ship it back.

This is also true for Amazon business purchases. I have returned items around $600 and have never been asked to put a code in the box.

But I’ve never returned anything over $1,000.

That's interesting, maybe it's different per country or perhaps even city/region? The two times I've ever returned something, I had to put a little printed barcode thing into the box with the returned item. Just did this a couple months ago.

Same. I return stuff frequently and they stopped the barcode-in-the-box practice a couple of years (at least) ago.

In the USA FWIW. And no super expensive stuff.
