Staples stores start accepting Amazon returns

Canadians can now return Amazon orders through Staples.

The e-commerce giant says 298 of the office supplies retailer’s stores are now equipped to handle Amazon returns.

The companies say anyone taking advantage of the partnership must first set up a return through their Amazon account.

Customers can then bring eligible products to a Staples store to be packaged and shipped back to the retailer.

Amazon says it has more than 4,000 drop-off locations in Canada, including some Purolator, Couche-Tard and Canada Post locations.

The new partnership comes months after the Ontario government announced plans to open some Service Ontario locations in Staples stores.
