Should I Return a Used Wallet and Order New One if Purchase Price Decreased within 7 Days in Amazon?

I recently bought a men's wallet from Amazon. Within 5 days , we have the Boxing day sale. The initial purchase price was ~50AUD. It is now priced at $30. Should I return it even though used for ~4 days and order a new one?

    I believe you may be eligible for a partial refund (difference between your purchase price minus current sale price) if the price drop happens within seven days. I suggest you reach out to Amazon customer service before returning the item and ask if they can provide a refund.

      Amazon pretty clearly told me that it was not possible last time I tried this, but after a few minutes they said that "this is a one off" but they credited my account for the difference.

      I just watched an interesting Adam Conover video about how free returns are thrown in the trash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdL85EP7s5M Maybe try and get a partial refund.

        I wonder if it's different for Aus? Or maybe just for bigger ticket items? Amazon warehouse products are just returns.

    Yes, return it, with $20 cash inside it.

    Just order the new one and return it as the old one. (i.e. keep the old wallet and keep the new price).

      That's actually a great idea. Surely an unopened return has much less chance getting binned

    • welcomeUniverseWorld on 27/12/2023 - 12:32

      Really good idea. I will try that. It solves the issue with my conscious as well as I am returning back the new item without opening. I get the difference

        Also touching on fraudbargain.

          Bro.. you for real? Where do you see the fraud here?

          There are many places that do price matching if price drops within a certain number of days.
          I can see clearly why the rich gets richer and poor stays poor just by looking at your comment.

          Amazon also has a return policy here. The item we are talking here can be returned until Jan 31st even if used. In such a case, I pay $7 fine and can be returned.

            @welcomeUniverseWorld: Your right, the original purchase should be returned for a refund through Amazon returns or at least have a conversation with Amazon about the matter and which might work out favourably, not deceive the seller that you’re sending the same item back that was purchased for a financial advantage.

            As for being rich that doesn’t make it ok to take advantage of a company because “they can afford it”

    See this post from link of your recent post.

    If the item is sold by a third party seller via FBA, they lose out non refundable FBA fees, thus please don't do this to third party seller. A wallet is estimated around $5.
