    I didn’t make enough money for the year to be taxed so I got all of it back.

    I hope to get a refund for my train ticket from last Thursday where the train was just cancelled.

    Online request didn’t work, so I have to go to the train station today and waste even more of my time.

    I guess technically a refund? I returned tools I rented from O’Reilly to fix the timing chain on my truck. 250,000 miles and still runs like a champ, just ignore the noisey lifter haha

    A game I only bought because someone else wanted to play that together on a private LAN party. That person then announced that they couldn’t show up. And since I was terribly uninterested in playing that game on my own and only bought it for just that occasion, I refunded it after that news.

      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!

    Bought a really nice TV a couple of years ago. About a month later, the manufacturer had a really big price drop. Microcenter has a really nice 60 or 90 day price guarantee so I popped into the local store and got about $800 back.

    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.

    I’ve been fixing up an old motorcycle, and the weekend I was finally ready to try starting it I discovered an issue in the electrical system. I discovered this by blowing both of the fuses I had for it. I ordered new fuses from Amazon that would arrive Monday, but then decided Saturday morning that I didn’t want to wait, so I replaced the existing fuse holder with a more modern one so I could get fuses at the auto parts store, and returned the older style fuses when they arrived

    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.

    Hozelock adjustable long spray lance, absolutely unfit for purpose, disposable garbage that broke after 3 months.

    Last refund was a nightmare as it was a purchase from Amazon and outside their 30 day window, so initially they did not want to accept the return and directed me to the manufacturer. Hozelock just refused to engage, and directed me back to Amazon, endless loop. After going round this loop I then complaining to Amazon for a solid 10 minutes and they eventually agreed to pay for pick up of the item then refund when it was picked up.

    Replaced it with a more expensive Dramm lance that every part is user replaceable with available spare parts, and much less plastic components.

    Ordered a shelf, it was never handed off to the courier. Complained, got it redelivered but they sent it to the wrong address. They seem to have refunded me twice… haven’t received any money back yet, but the shelf is due to arrive tomorrow so we’ll see what happens

    Sewing machine. It was cheap as I am just learning and didn’t want to drop heavy change. I actually returned it and bought another one. Both had shit bobbin casings (I think that’s what they’re called). Literally said, “fuck it,” returned it, and youtubed how to sew by hand. Much less frustrating.
