> This is what Staples is offering to Amazon but for returns

Yes, and usps stores and Whole Foods do that for Amazon in the US as well. The difference is that each of those items don’t need to be individually packaged and shipped to unique locations. My local USPS put all the returns for the day in a giant bin and an Amazon driver picks them up.

I think the cost of labor and liability involved in having a local retail worker wrap, label, and ship every package would be an order of magnitude higher than shipping alone and destroy any value in offering it.
