It's a real tradeoff. On the one hand, a liberal return policy is great for consumers. But if its abused its a source of enormous fraud and waste. Unfortunately I doubt there any good solution to the problem.
- colejohnson66 11y agoDoesn't Amazon ban you if you abuse their return policy? Especially if you have Prime which causes them to pay original _and_ return shipping
- zzalpha 11y agoThat requires tracking individuals, which doesn't work for brick-and-mortar stores (yes, those still exist... ;).
- michaelbuddy 11y agoyou very much get tracked by brick and mortar stores, not all but many. Just did a return tonight, and once again had to give them my information in order to complete the return. depends on the situation of the return, whether you had a receipt or not, whether you were already on file, or if you had paid with credit card and they could track that.
- zzalpha 11y agoAnd all those caveats are why Amazon can catch return abusers while brick and mortar stores have a much harder time, and ultimately don't bother as its not worth the effort.
