    An office chair. A piece was wrong making the thing unassemblable. Got the money back and bought a more expensive one from a much better shop. Happy about that because the expesive chair is much better than what the cheap one would have been.

    A Denon soundbar, that had a mysterious HDMI conflict that couldn’t be fixed after multiple reparation attempts.

    It’s good that or most prominent webshop does reparations instead of automatic rebates, however I had to mail it back three times. And the second to last time they returned it saying it wasn’t broken.

    So when I mailed it up the last time they initially refused to refund, as ‘it hadn’t been repaired three times yet’.

    Luckily they found it impossible to fix the problem, hence I got my refund. I’m happy with my JBL that was 50 Euros cheaper.

    Train ticket!

    I got it because I ended up being able to catch an earlier train, instead of the train I was expecting to catch and had bought a ticket for.

    Many months ago I got a refund of around $250 on an online course because I changed my mind after my purchase. It was an amazing course but I didn’t see myself using the knowledge in the future. Good thing I got a refund in time.

    Shoes. I bought 2 pair of shoes from the same maker in the exact same size. One pair fit, the other both too small (in length) and too big (in width and depth) so no size was gonna work.

    GTA V on Steam, but not because of AntiCheat that makes the game unplayable on Linux. I just don’t like it. It’s not fun.

    A pair of bicycle pedals. I regretted the purchase and returned them.

    For the last case of a non-return, I got a refund on a wristband for my Fitbit, which had broken after very little use.

    A salad.

    Was waiting for my flight out of LAX, so I grabbed a salad from the closest spot. $20, but whatever. Open it up and the ham smelled sour and all the iceberg lettuce was slimy.

    I’ve never asked for a refund on a salad before, but for 20-fucking-dollars it should have been chopped up and prepped that very day. Yuck.

      Ordered a pair of Moondrop Chu IEMs, mostly for the eartips that come with them. Pair was defective, so I contacted the seller and demonstrated that one ear doesn’t work. Got a full refund without return, ordered a new pair, and ended up with two sets of those eartips.

      I gave away the second pair equipped with generic eartips to a friend who recently broke his earbuds. I also snipped the dead earbud, heatshrunk the wires, and I use the single earbud for when I’m washing the dishes or doing the laundry. Very nice outcome for me!

    I got some jeans on Amazon, and I’ve came with some clear goop on them and the opened plastic wraping. It seemed like some kind of machine grease to the touch, but I have no idea. Anyway I got the refund without issue at least.
