If you are seeing 0.00 I'm sure it's fine! This may have been sold and shipped by a storefront NOT Amazon, but it was Prine eligible, so IDK...just something to look out for I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116581 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:31:38 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2116581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @travellingbee: @shellio: it was awesome. I still use it daily. It was a $200 netbook, so nothing too fancy, but yeah, pretty cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116559 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:03:02 +0000 MapleMoose 2116559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Hmm... Sounds like Amazon needs a better system for returned items. Duplicate lipstick is a great bonus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116483 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 18:21:58 +0000 shellio 2116483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: A laptop?! That's amazing!</p> <p>We had a toy (talking book) that didn't work, I think it was around $15 and they told us to keep and refunded the $$. It sat around the house for months or years and DH messed with the battery at some point and got it working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116454 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:33:03 +0000 travellingbee 2116454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: holy s#!t! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116453 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:32:23 +0000 travellingbee 2116453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: :) Walled you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116449 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:28:46 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2116449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: sure!

Technically all the return methods say its $0.00... I would freak if they end up charging me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116438 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:14:56 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2116438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a free laptop about 4 years ago!

I recieved a pair of work boots that have scuff marks along the side of the shoe, like they've been scuffed trying them on. the soles are fine. the box was a bit mangled as well. considering if I should make a complaint to amazon but I can't quite be bothered. previously I've been credited for items arriving a day or two late, and have had duplicate items sent in the same box (yay it was nars lipstick!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116429 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:03:29 +0000 littlejoy 2116429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to send back a $5 rotary cutter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116307 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:49:30 +0000 Torchwood 2116307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: We actually don't want one (which was what alerted me that it wasn't for us, since I didn't think to check that our name was on it before we opened it). But we have a friend who's pregnant and just a month ahead of me, so planning to gift it to her. She doesn't need to know it was free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116283 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:30:38 +0000 PinkElephant 2116283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: be careful on the free returns items! I recently tried to return a piece of jewelry that was "free returns" and noticed that if I had UPS pick it up from me, they were deducting $6-$10 from my refund. That's not free! :) it was only free if I took it to UPS myself - fortunately we've got one a few blocks away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116281 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:30:06 +0000 catlady 2116281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I've ever been allowed to keep was a $6 kids book. I've had to return everything else.</p> <p>Once someone sent an amazon gift card to my email address by accident (the person they meant to send it to has a really similar email address). I used to get emails for this person all the time so I asked her if she knew the gift giver and it was her own father! He was able to contact amazon and sort it out so I never tried to use the gift card, but I sort of wonder if it would still have worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116254 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:15:28 +0000 travellingbee 2116254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: I'll totally take them if you want to get rid of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116227 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 13:52:28 +0000 charlotte 2116227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received a broken glass dish that they let me keep and then overnighted me a replacement. But then another time, I returned LOs broken Marpac white noise machine and they wanted it back when they sent a replacement. She said to figure out what happened to it but who knows. Very happy with the service both times though. I looooove Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116220 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 13:48:45 +0000 MapleMoose 2116220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered a $20 pair of slippers for LO from Amazon and they arrived with a hole on the seam. I put in for an exchange and Amazon sent me the exact same pair again. That's when they gave me a refund and told me to keep them because clearly they wanted me to have them lol. Luckily it was just a small hole that I was able to patch so LO ended up with a free pair of slippers. But it makes me wonder how many people get damaged goods sent to them that have already been returned by others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116214 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 13:40:45 +0000 dagret 2116214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same - I tried to return a box of diapers and they just credited me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116206 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 13:34:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 2116206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was refunded for a box of diapers and told to keep it.</p> <p>I also was recently refunded for a package of containers (several were chipped) and they told me to toss them, refunded me, and told me to reorder (I couldn't because it was an add-on item). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116124 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 12:39:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2116124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: lol nice! surprise gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116109 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 12:25:54 +0000 Torchwood 2116109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a package the other day that was for the former home owners. They told us to keep it, because it had already been reported not delivered? It was a bumpo, though I don't know how much they cost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116101 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 12:20:33 +0000 msmug 2116101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think consummable items, they let you keep. I got a ton of chocolates as gifts during Christmas, and they told me to keep them when I tried to return it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116075 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 12:00:55 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2116075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They let me keep a box of pregnancy tests!

But they sent the wrong style out, do it was their mistake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116042 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:41:53 +0000 littlebug 2116042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far the only thing they've let me keep is an $8 book. It was a potty training book that I got for D because it was about having a super power (being a Super Pooper). But when I read through it, I really didn't like it because it showed the kid getting a party when he learned to poop in the potty, and I didn't want D to expect a party because NO. But he loves the book now, so...free book, I guess. I'll deal with the party thing later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116039 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:40:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 2116039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue. I once got the wrong size shirt and they told me to keep it and they refunded the money($25). And just recently i ordered something and one of the pieces in it was a duplicate, that I have to return($28) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116029 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:35:36 +0000 aegie 2116029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure either, because we bought diapers that didn't fit right so I asked for a refund prepared to ship it back but they told me to keep it and refunded me the money. So .... now I have a brand new box of diapers that Amazon told me to keep. Crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-amazon-just-decides-to-refund-you-and-not-ask-for-the-item-back#post-2116017 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:29:58 +0000 Caly 2116017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the company/seller paying the shipping for the return? If so, the actual cost of the item may not be worth the freight back. </p>
