It was a rug and after I got it, I realized the size was too small even though I had measured in the room. The vendor was going to make me pay for return shipping AND charge me a 15% restocking fee, but I got out of that thankfully because i ordered the larger size from him. That policy kind of made me mad, but I really did want the larger size so it ended up being a win-win. It wasn't too expensive to mail back either and I didn't have to pay for shipping the items to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552766 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:38:37 +0000 MrsBrewer 552766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Interesting! I never thought of doing that! I think I'm going to try doing that on my lunch break tomorrow at work! I mean heck it doesn't hurt to try right? Plus this is the first return I have ever done, and I have like a billion purchases! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552765 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:37:09 +0000 BSB 552765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: That sucks! You could always call and complain to Amazon. My DH usually has a lot of luck when he actually talks to someone at Amazon. I don't usually have time for that so I just do the website thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552757 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:33:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 552757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Nope, I only had 2 options to pick from either ship and bring it to a UPS drop off locaion, or schedule a UPS pick up (and pay another $6 on top of the $9) so I just chose the drop off option. I wish I was able to choose shipping it via USPS though. You're right, it probably would have been a lot cheaper. Oh well, though. At least I will be getting some of my money back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552755 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:31:57 +0000 BSB 552755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Yeah, that is pretty steep. Was there and option to self ship, like through USPS instead of UPS? You can probably ship it cheaper through the post office. </p> <p>I just got a packing slip and label through them (it was their fault) and they gave me different options to return. If I used UPS, I wouldn't have to pay anything. If I shipped through USPS, they would credit me back 5 bucks. I think I can ship it for less than that since the item was delivered smashed into tiny pieces and I can find a small box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552745 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:28:16 +0000 MrsBrewer 552745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: ...and pay heavily! I think $9 bucks was pretty steep... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552741 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:27:29 +0000 BSB 552741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I have only had to return things because it was damaged or their fault. So I wasn't charged for shipping.</p> <p>Good to know that if I return some and it's not their fault that I will have to pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552689 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:57:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 552689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Yep, I tried that, still had to pay for shipping :-(</p> <p>@bunnylove08: That's what I was thinking! We have it sitting on our kitchen table, and I'm at the point where if I don't get rid of it and return it, I'm just going to throw them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552673 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:46:04 +0000 twinmama 552673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry! I think most baby stuff has free returns, but most other items do not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552668 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:42:53 +0000 bunnylove08 552668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes its better to just get rid of the item so its not cluttering your house. I do find the wee wee pads are good for cleaning up spills and doggy accidents </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552667 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:42:51 +0000 Mrsbells 552667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: yes this happened to me once. They didnt even give me that number of options. I decided not to return it because they were going to take off some money. Did you try "better price available" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552646 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:26:02 +0000 MrsBrewer 552646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: I just gave in and took the hit :-( I probably could have just sold them on craigslist, but I'm kind of lazy....hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552641 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:24:28 +0000 bunnylove08 552641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch can you sell them on craigslist? The puppy pads are also good as a changing pad cover. I had a couple and use them in public restroom changing tables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552583 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:08:06 +0000 MrsBrewer 552583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Here's the options that I can choose</p> <p>Accidental Order<br /> Better Price Available<br /> The shipping box or envelope isn't damaged but the item is damaged<br /> Missed estimated delivery date<br /> Missing parts or accessories<br /> The shipping box or envelope and item are both damaged<br /> Different from what was ordered<br /> Defective/Does not work properly<br /> Arrived in addition to what was ordered<br /> No longer needed/wanted<br /> Unauthorized purchase<br /> Different from website description</p> <p>I chose No longer needed/wanted.....I don't want to lie....does that mean I will have to pay for shipping? :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552578 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:07:04 +0000 futuremama 552578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never gotten free returns on Amazon. Although, I haven't returned too much. I usually find that it's cheaper for me to go to the post office and mail it on my own than pay their return shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552575 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:06:41 +0000 kiddosc 552575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the item is defective or was damaged in shipping you can return for free... Otherwise only certain items have free return shipping, it specifies when you buy the item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552567 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:04:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 552567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... I've never had that happen before but I've only returned one or two thinsg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552566 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:04:01 +0000 autumnlove 552566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think all return shipping is free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552562 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:01:56 +0000 Mrsbells 552562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its because of the reason you chose. What reason options are there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-item-on-amazon#post-552560 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:00:49 +0000 MrsBrewer 552560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this is the first time I have to return an item I've bought on Amazon. Basically I bought some puppy training pads for him, and we bought a smaller sample bag and found out we don't need them (he just shreds them to pieces, won't pee on them!) So I want to return the 150 count box we bought of them.</p> <p>Well when I go to print the label, it's saying $9.15 will be deducted from my refund because it wasn't a result of their error.</p> <p>Is this true??? They don't have free returns?? :-( </p>
