Amazon won’t accept returns of low-value or misdelivered items, and instructs customers to throw them into their wastebin for a refund rather than have to process them.

7 months ago, 624 comments were posted in a discussion about Amazon returns neither being painless nor simple. My favorite is this write up noting that returns are only processed if your predicted future revenue exceeds the return requested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27333273

But in general, Amazon won’t honor their purchase protection policy for high value items without extensive argument and delaying tactics, which puts shoppers at risk for precisely the purchased that most need protection.
