Part of Costco's shtick is having a generous return policy. They gamble on most people not being arseholes and taking the piss. And I think it works for them.

Walmart has a decent return policy also, allowing up to 3 months for refunds. I agree that I deserve to be flogged for making nice about Wally-World. Note that if you abuse this Wally will cut you off.

Would like to return Trump for a full refund.

Wouldn't it be better to donate him to one of those sh1thole country's, so he can make it less of one, or at least, more to his liking.

I've never had an issue returning anything there. Not that I have to do it a lot but it does come up from time to time.

That might be considered abuse of the return policy though

Amazon will as well and even blacklist the address so to avoid folks just opening a new account with email if one is returning too high a % of their orders.

Seems to remember an article in the Uk media where a similar situation arises, makes sense.

The stories I've read about the delivery companies Amazon uses in the UK, it's a wonder anyone actually received a package they'd be able to return in the first place ...

That one passed me by. Redefining WTF there, once again.

Funny, Amazon managed to completely lose a package I ordered shortly after Christmas. They did send me a free replacement but I still wonder how you lose 3 books. However, on reflection, it's better than dropping a deuce in my front yard.

I once ordered a big gardening bucket from amazon. They sent me a pram? It was worth 20 times what the bucket cost and was hugely different in size and weight. I thought they had a foolproof way of not sending the wrong stuff, apparently not.

I complained online and they sent me the right item. UK law says its my duty to tell them but its entirely their responsibility to collect it from me where they delivered it, at a time convenient to me. I told them after 6pm mon-fri or sunday pm, they said take it to some postal shop, i politely declined to lug this huge box, so a month later its still gathering dust, so i sent them an email saying they had a month to collect it or it goes out with the rubbish. I seemed to have found a hole in their systems, they either couldnt cope or without saying so their profit margin didnt allow a collection and their computer just dropped it.
Interesting.
