Am i entitled to a refund if I have a reciept? even if goods arent damaged?

Answer 1

Depends on STORE POLICY..they dont have to do anything for you.....

Answer 2

It depends upon a number of factors.

1. What type of goods? Bathing suits, underwear, perishible items are most often NOT rreturnable.

2. What is the store's standard policy? Many computer and technology stores have a 10 day return policy, as the shelf life of high tech items is short due to new developments all the time.

3. It also depends upon age. If you're less than 18, you may be able to invoke little known contract laws about this. Essentially a purchase is a type of implied contract. In the US, a contract is only binding on the parties to the contract who are 18 years of age or older, and mentally competent to enter into the contract.

A great example of this is a situation where a car dealer sold a car to a 16 year old who LIED about his age. Even though the dealer was operating on the basis of knowledge that was provided by the 16 YO, the contract was enforceable on the dealer and not on the kid. I will leave it to you to guess how it turned out.

If you could post the SPECIFIC issues relative to this one, I can help you further. What state? What store? What item? When purchased? How much? How old where you when you purchased it?

Good Luck -

Most stores have a 30 day return policy with unused or faulty merchandise. They have the option of giving you store credit or, if purchased with a credit card, placing it back on your card. If you paid in cash and it's only been a week or so, they should give you the cash back. If it looks shabby due to use, or not in it's original container/box, they have the right to refuse return. I can't tell you how many girls I know bought dresses to use for one night, then returned them the next day, or so, claiming they changed their mind or decided they didn't like it.

Three days ago, I returned front brakes back to AutoZone as I was cleaning the cellar and found them. Now they were bought in Oct. of 2004 and I had sold the car, but forgot about these parts. Of course, no receipt. But, I had done business with them for so long, they issued a store credit as they were obviously never used and still in the original box. Now, as it turned out, I bought a car cover the same day and yesterday, upon taking it out of the box noticed a small whole in the fabric. Always, call as soon as you see the problem. That helps too in getting credit back. Oh yeah, and always get the name of the person you spoke with. I was told no problem, just bring it back. Hope this has been some help to you.

Under U.K. law, you are only entitled to a refund if the goods are faulty, not as displayed or described, or damaged. No U.K. business is obliged to refund on an item simply because the customer doesn't like it, or has changed their mind.

However, some outlets will allow you to return an unwanted item under their 'goodwill policy'. You will more than likely be offered a replacement item or a credit note, rather than a cash refund though.

Answer 5

That's exactly when you ARE entitled to a refund. The only time you can't is when you've lost the receipt, the goods are damaged or out of guarantee. If you take them back in good condition, the shop can sell them again, & you can get a refund.

Answer 6

No, legally you are not entitled to a refund if you simply change your mind. You are only legally entitled to a refund if the goods are faulty.

Answer 7

Store policy varies store to store. Have you had the merchandise longer than the store refund policy.. if so your SOL.
Also some stores don't offer cash refunds.. even if you paid with cash.

Answer 8

depends on store policy, some of them do, just say it was an unwanted christmas present or something perhaps? that usually helps.

Answer 9

Yes you are!! unless the store CLEARLY displays a disclaimer stating otherwise!!

Answer 10

Legally you do not have a choice even if you have a receipt.
