I feel like this is going to backfire as a consumer.
The whole point of the warranty is that the company is claiming the product will work for x days. If you start letting people sell things without a warranty they'll make products that last 0 days but advertise well.
- wyldfire 4y agoYou can have a "warranty" while still barring "any-cause" returns.
- londons_explore 4y agoExcept you often can't .. if you say the TV can't be returned without reason, your customer will pour a jug of water into it and claim it never worked...
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoI'm not talking about warranty/defective item returns. I'm talking about the fact that in America you can return pretty much anything, without having any reason. Don't want that party dress after you've worn it to the party? Return it! Don't want the big screen TV after your Super Bowl party? Return it! Can't profit from your stockpile of covid-shortage toilet paper? Return that too!
- lliamander 4y agoObviously that's an exaggeration. Except that Costco comes incredibly close to that. I've seen them accept returns for things I would never have imagined anyone accepting.
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoYeah, a few years ago I remember a news story about Cosco accepting a returned real Christmas tree sometime after Christmas, by which time most of the needles had fallen off and the thoroughly used tree had no value other than mulch. Maybe good publicity, I suppose.
- bombcar 4y agoCostco has (had) a satisfaction guarantee and they wanted you to abuse it a bit so that you’d feel safe splurging. But people returning ten year old mattresses and TVs hampered that a bit - but only in specific items. Computers are another one.
