(CNN) — Amazon is attempting new measures to get customers to return fewer of their online orders, including charging a fee to return items to UPS stores.For decades, Amazon built its business by creating shopping that was fast, ridiculously easy and, seemingly, error-proof. You don’t like it, just return it.But not anymore: so many customers have buyers’ regret, or simply bigger feet than they thought they had, that handling returns has become an expensive problem for the company.So, Amazon will start charging customers a $1 fee if they return items to a UPS store when there is a Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh grocery store or Kohl’s closer to their delivery address. (Amazon owns Whole Foods and Fresh, and has a partnership deal with Kohl’s.)The Information first reported on Amazon’s fee.Shoppers have become accustomed to endless free returns in recent years, but Amazon and other companies are trying to curb this customer habit.Amazon also recent...
