To be fair, when I worked in an lbs wiggle/crc we’re invaluable in getting us out of some binds when we’d need single items like a cassette or a mech for a repair and they were cheaper than Madison for the item, cheaper on postage (often free) and would get stuff to us in half the time.
Is the requirement for photos a new thing? Last time I returned something it was just a case of printing a return form and chucking it in with the item.
I've not had any issues at all returning things either. The process was always really easy, though I have only ever returned unused items. I think they only ask for photographs in the case of a faulty/damaged/incomplete item in case they can fix the issue without a return.
