lol!, I think this only applies to u..... Everyone else gives an excuse and gets free return. What reputation? As long as you don't give them a one star rating, it should be fine. Its amazon, they will still profit billions even with all the returns. As long as you are not abusing the system, I don't see the problem with free returns once in a blue moon.tommygun216 wrote: ↑ Thanks for the info. In all the years I have purchased from Amazon, I only returned two items. I got free shipping for both items.
I think I will keep the thermos for myself since I could use one. I won't lie and say it is defective since it would hurt the seller reputation.
I would be more careful buying things from Amazon. If I bought one from Canadian Tire, it would have be easier to return it.
I knew this already, but always hurt to see it
Always when you are returning a product, either select defective product received or missing parts or the product was damaged. It always works for me as I have returned a lot of products, most of the time it comes defective or I would change my mind after receiving it. It usually never cost extra to return it.tommygun216 wrote: ↑ I bought a thermos from Amazon as a gift except the person didn't want it. It will cost $14 to return it? I always thought that Amazon will pay for the return shipping.
I haven't returned many items back to Amazon, but I thought it was free. Did Amazon change their policies?
Well, I bought the thermos from a third party seller. When I was doing research on why I couldn't get free return shipping, I came upon this comment from the cnet website:Patrickpete wrote: ↑ lol!, I think this only applies to u.....

Wow, that's really insightful. I learned something today; will definitely be more selective with my returns next time.tommygun216 wrote: ↑ Well, I bought the thermos from a third party seller.

As an Amazon seller, I am disappointed in the first run of this article (at least you added "but accurately" to it). The lack of journalistic integrity in the original piece, effectively encouraging customers to select a return reason to avoid the return fees, was stunning. For those that are not familiar, selecting something like "item not as described" can be devastating to a small business seller. Amazon's automation "sees" this and often decides that the seller is a scammer and shuts down the account. It then takes days to weeks (all with no revenue and all while incurring Amazon fees) to prove that the seller is not a scammer.
That is why I am not going to select "defective product" to return when the thermos is not defective. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon and rarely return anything since I always do my research before buying anything.
