Can I Get a Refund?

Conversation A
Laura: Hey, Jack, look at the laptop on this webpage.
It's only $499 - what a great deal!
I'm going to buy it.

Jack: Have you read the return policy yet?

Laura: Not yet. Let's see...
"You may return new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
Items should be in their original product pockaging.

Jack: OK. But what if you"ve opened the item?

Laura: Uh, for any opened laptop or desktop computer a 15 percent restocking fee will apply.
So I'd only get a partial refund.

Jack: Then be sure you really want it.


Conversation B
In a store

Jack: This stereo is 35 percet off right now.
And I have the cash on me to pay for it

Laura: If you buy it, don't pay cash. Use your credit card.

Jack: Why? How I pay for it is no big deal.

Laura: It could be. What if something goes wrong with the stereo?

Jack: I'll return it for a refund.

Laura: But maybe the store won't give you a refund for some reason.
Or maybe you'll only get part of your money back.
If you charge it, you can dispute the charge with your credit card company.
They may help you get your money back.

Jack: That's good thinking, Laura.
