The return status current indicates “Refund issued, item in transit”. Presumably it will eventually say “Item received”. For the record, what it actually says is “Return complete”, so yes, this is how it works, at least here using Staples as the return depot. Refund was issued within an hour of returning the item to Staples, and the return was logged by Amazon as received three days later. I’m still not comfortable with Stalples’ inability to issue a receipt, and I still wouldn’t return high-value items this way. ---
