FabSwingers.com forum: Getting a shop refund

I bought a next camera from Argos to try. After carefully opening and trying I’ve decided not to keep it. It says on their receipt there’s a 30 day no hassle refund but for items unopened and unused.

I know I’ve broken this condition but I wondered if I had any way I could return the item now?

Thanks

Only if it's faulty or not fit for purpose I would have thought. Is it obvious that you've opened it?

You only bought it to try? Why do you not want it?

It is worth taking it back to Argos I have always foind them to be much more amenable to refunds than most other retailers. The worst that can happen is that you waste a little time trying.

I know it's a bit naughty but I've taken things back before and said there's a minor fault with them. Never had a problem with returns, Argos are usually really good

Unlikely.

But you could try selling it on for a slight discount as it is a few days old.

So as it’s a camera I wanted to see what the clarity and coverage was like with it. Both have proven to not be great with where I want to put it so I wanted to get a refund on it.

The only time a shop needs to refund you on an item is if its faulty ... Lots of shops will refund if you've changed your mind as a good will gesture but consumer law states they only have to if said item is faulty

You have nothing to lose but a bit of time. Take it back and ask. If they say no then sell it on. You bought it and it's not faulty.

Next time borrow one.

It's called secondhand argos for a reason, take it back and swap it for a lawnmower no bother.

No you opened it to find out that's what invalidates it...... Damnit

I never had a problem talking stuff back to Argos - the staff don't give a damn, they just refund when I say it's not what I wanted, and in my local Argos you can't really check stuff out before purchase, so it's like an online sale, I order online anyway, so it's probably covered by the online sales 14 day opt out.

Possibly you could have done more research on the product? I know my way around cameras and the terms clarity and coverage aren’t ones I’d use. Before you return it have you tried looking in the other end?

But seriously the camera you’ve bought .... are you looking on the screen at the back? You’ve looked at prints ? I’m assuming still camera ? May be able to give some advice if you want to PM

Their returns policy online doesn't say unopened, just unused.

I'v returned things to argos with no problems. At the end of the day you have nothing to lose by trying.

Advise on this.

I can tell you, you can return any item, any shop, anywhere with reciept within 14-31 days usually.

All you need to say is it is faulty, randomly goes faulty, cuts out, turns off etc.....

It goes back to returns department they test and then will reseal the product, unless any marks then it goes to graded site or rebuild.

You would be surprised how many people do this and how far company's go to reseal and make the products appear new.

That's because their monopoly has been monopolised by Amazon et al.

P.S. I have a 'friend' who does this all the time. I don't like it. I tell him that HE and people like him are the reason the reason the rest of us pay more for stuff.

And government is helping Amazon/online retailers by raising business rates and applying parking charges on high streets!

#fuckthegovernment! Killing small local businesses
