I called them twice and had issues understanding them

I dont have the shipping bag that it came in but the camera box. Do i just leave the camera box outside my front door and UPS will label it and ship it back to amazon? the return authorization that i was told to print out only has a barcode that reads for amazon.com use only. I could not find anywhere on the site to print out a return label to send back to amazon.

Just seems sorta weird to leave a camera box with no address or labels outside my front door.
Your not serious are you?? Common sense....

Shame on everyone here for calling OP dumb.
Turns out you are the ones who have no brains.
I found myself on this thread wondering the same thing OP did.
15 minutes ago a UPS driver came to my house.
My box was on the front step WITHOUT a label on it!
I was able to get to the door to ask him if it needed a label and he told me, and I quote: " No, you don't need the label on the outside, we bring that for you and put it on"

Amazons return label is a barcode like OP mentioned. This goes INSIDE the box as stated on amazons site.

So for anyone looking for an answer to this here is the truth:
Step 1. print out the label with the bar code on it.
Step 2. place the return item into a shipping box. (the box it came in will do fine.)
Step 3. place the printed out label into the box along with your item.
Step 4. Tape up the box. And that's it. You DO NOT put any labels on the outside of the shipping box.
Step 5. Either wait for the UPS guy or leave the box outside the door if you are comfortable with that.
Step 6. The UPS guy will show up WITH THE LABEL and apply it to the box.
Step 7. The UPS guy will hand you a receipt or leave it stuck to your door.

The idiots on this thread don't know a damn thing and I urge everyone on this forum to seriously question any other posts made by them where they claim to know anything.

morons

Sucker! I just asked for a refund from my Amazon order and got this as I finished the return:
