Have you ever returned a purchased item back to the store?

Yes, I have returned many purchased items back to the store.
First of all, I always return defective goods. It is easy.
Next, when I used to spend a lot of time going shopping in the USA, I discovered the only appropriate way of shopping for me (as I hate shopping). I just took all the items I liked and tried them later in a hotel room with my friends. It was much easier to decide what to keep than trying things in a fitting room. Next day I went back to the shop and returned all the items I didn't like.

Have you ever received a refund?
Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. Not all the things are of good quality, therefore sometimes we really need to request a refund on faulty or unused goods. I got refunds many times. Not only because I work for a retail company and it's much easier for me, but also because it's very difficult to understand whether the purchase would be good or not. For example, once I needed a winter coat. I tryed it in the middle of warm November day, while sun was shining and the temperature was above +10. When I wore it at night, the weather was cold and I almost froze. So, I claimed a refund the other day.

I'm really sorry for missing several days of writing! The last week was absolutely awful and busy with everyday hours-long outdoor try-outs of my younger son's dancing team. April and May are always the busiest months for them and for me.

So I am begging you to forgive me for writing here the Day 45's answer:

Do you remember the most expensive thing you have ever bought? Was it worth it?

The most expensive things I've ever bought were my flats and cars, of course. Actually, I'd rather say that I've exchanged the flats, but nowadays you have to sell one flat and simultaneously buy another one, so technically we can name it a purchase. And yes, all those purchases were reasonable and they were worth it.

But I can see that most of our participants wrote about clothes, so I will do the same. It was a short period of my life when I was naturally in love with the Fendi brand. And I was dreaming about a Fendi chinchilla fur coat. But I'd always had both feet on the ground, and I'd never buy a fur coat for that price (it was something about $10,000) even if I won the lottery. I'd rather bought a small flat to lease it. (It was 1998, as I can remember, so the price for a small one bedroom apartment or a studio could be that cheap at that time).

So I was obsessed with that dream about the chinchilla coat and I'd even tried it on once or twice. (It was absolutely gorgeous!). After a while I was travelling to Italy and inevitably I came to the Fendi boutique in Rome. I tried my dream coat on and talked to a shop assistant and both of us were admiring that coat... And finally I bought there a beautiful pair of jeans, two wonderful tops and the best sunglasses I've ever had. I was absolutely happy with my purchase and somehow I've even stopped dreaming about the Fendi coat after that, so I think it was absolutely worth it.

Have you ever returned an purchased goods to a shop?

Occasionally I return purchased items to shops. In general, I do it with books. Largest internet store Ozon allow such operations within sixty days after purchase. Sometimes I change my mind about books I had bought. And because books are expensive goods I return ones. I have never returned anything else. I don't like to return things. I feel not so good when I do it. It seems me I cheating the seller when I return goods. But I know in some country it is absolutely normal.

I returned things only a few times. I always try to think thoroughly prior to buying something, because it takes time to go back to a shop. Last summer I got a blouse. When in a store, it seemed to me to be a fit, maybe a bit loose. At home, having tried it on, I understand that a smaller size would be better. So, I ordered the same blouse of a right size and brought it back.

Have you ever taken back a thing bought in a shop?

Yes, a few times I have. The last time it was a pair of sport shoes. They seemed so cool, I really liked them. But by the end of the very first day I wore them they turned into something terribly looking. They were covered with cracks. It was so awful that I became mad. Of course the next day I took them back to the shoe shop. And since then I have never bought anything from that shop again.

¿Alguna vez recuperaste algo comprado en una tienda?

Sí, lo me pasó unas veces. La última vez era un par de zapatos. Estos parecieron geniales, me gustaron mucho. Pero antes del final del primer día se volvieron en algo terrible. Lo me puso triste. Claro que el día seguinte los llevé a la zapatería. Desde entonces nunca he comprado nada allí.

to think thoroughly prior to buying something - to think it over before buying something
I got a blouse - I bought a blouse
it seemed to me to be a fit - it seemed to be the right size/my size//
I understand - I understood

I knew first what the interned was in 2009 when I was a schoolboy when it was 9 years since Mike had been a user of Efl.ru.
It was summer. We bought a modem that costed 1000 roubles. We were very glad that we were going to have an opportunity to download and get computer games for free. But when we got home we were dissaponted: the modem turned out to be damaged. Next day we were refused to change it to another one. They said all of the items were always checked by them and I might have broken it myself. I am still sorry that I didn't check it when we were in the store.

Have you ever returned a bought thing back to the shop?
I don't remember returning a thing which I had bought to the shop. Anyway, what should I write if I had returned? Just "yes, I did"? I cannot understand the question. Should I write a story how I had fought the shop assistant when s/he refused to take that thing back? How s/he invented various stories how they cared about their products and their customers and insisted on the quality of their products and that I was wrong by returning the thing and I must have enjoyed the thing instead of returning it? And I should write how inventive I was to convince the shop assistant that they had cheated me by selling that thing to me and they were wrong when they had thought that I was just an oaf?
I need to think of such a beautiful story for longer time, because invention of a story takes longer time as compared with telling a true story.
I will think of it, or I may forget to think. Let's wait and see :)
