5 Surprising Things You Can’t Return to Amazon

Gift Cards

If you thought that getting some friends and family gift cards would be the way to go, especially since it is easier than getting them something and not knowing if they will like it, we urge you to think about it again.

Prepaid cards and some gift cards are not eligible for returns, so if you are not sure you are going to use them as a gift, it is better to put off getting the gift card until you’re 100% sure. This is something to be even more careful of when it comes to subscription gift cards and video-game products, as Amazon will not accept those back as returns no matter what.

After all, they cannot be sure that you haven’t already used the gift card before sending it back, and they would rather not bother having to police that. And we cannot fault them for that!

If you have gotten a gift card and you did not get to give it to someone, even if you cannot return it, you can still make the most of it. Use it yourself or repurpose the gift! They do generally have a long time frame in which they can be used, so you can give them to someone else as a gift if you do not have any use for them yourself!

Amazon has a lot of products, however even if you love shopping online, you should never buy these products from Amazon! Trust us, the hassle is not worth it!

    Yes, I have had a return that was not accepted-It was a 32 oz bottle of conditioner-Avalaon-which was almost $20. I had pictures and everything. I tried but they said they did not return or give me another one-It was well within the period required. It was spelt all over my other stuff.-Needless to say ,”wasn’t pleased”.

    I ordered brake rotors that were missing a part and another part was incorrect. The seller is supposed to give return shipping labels but refused. The cost was $437 to ship back the same way they shipped to me, UPS. The order only cost $581 so I can see why they refused even though under Amazon policy they are required to do so. I called Amazon who said to pay to ship back and the A to Z guarantee would pay me back. I did that and sent in receipt…….over and over and over again, over a month went by and they would not pay me back!! A to Z guarantee is worthless and so is Amazon! They try and kill off local merchants so they can take control of the market and eventually turn into crap!!! Nowhere to turn, no way to fix it, you just get screwed.
    Just a fair warning! I will look locally for everything from now on

    #5 is happening to me right now. I purchased a patio dining set that is too big for my deck. After packing it all up and getting the return label…FedEx can not return it….It is from CHINA!!! Or return to the warehouse in California….I live in Massachusetts!!
    The company did tell me to keep the item and they would refund me $170.00….
    The set was $470.00 that I’m am now out $300 for a set that won’t fit on my deck…. I just assumed it was from Amazon, I’ve never ever had an issue with a return until now.

    Lesson learned!
