A heavy triply steel kadai. Well technically it was a small fucking piece of plastic cup which I had to fight with Amazon to get a refund for that shit.

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!
I got some jeans on Amazon, and I’ve came with some clear goop on them and the opened plastic wraping. It seemed like some kind of machine grease to the touch, but I have no idea. Anyway I got the refund without issue at least.
A salad.
Was waiting for my flight out of LAX, so I grabbed a salad from the closest spot. $20, but whatever. Open it up and the ham smelled sour and all the iceberg lettuce was slimy.
I’ve never asked for a refund on a salad before, but for 20-fucking-dollars it should have been chopped up and prepped that very day. Yuck.
Asus Zephyrus g14 (2022).
It started to randomly shut down. I sent it to Asus for repair 2 times, but they always claimed that they could not find the issue. After realising that Asus was not gonna help me, I sent it back to the seller for a refund, which took 3 Months, a lot of emails and a phonecall to actually get.
In total between the repairs and refund I spent about 6 Months on this issue.
A Denon soundbar, that had a mysterious HDMI conflict that couldn’t be fixed after multiple reparation attempts.
It’s good that or most prominent webshop does reparations instead of automatic rebates, however I had to mail it back three times. And the second to last time they returned it saying it wasn’t broken.
So when I mailed it up the last time they initially refused to refund, as ‘it hadn’t been repaired three times yet’.
Luckily they found it impossible to fix the problem, hence I got my refund. I’m happy with my JBL that was 50 Euros cheaper.
It was a UPS I bought on Amazon.
It arrived damaged in the box, almost certainly because the driver dropped it.
My experience with Amazon customer service was umm… fun.

A pair of bicycle pedals. I regretted the purchase and returned them.
For the last case of a non-return, I got a refund on a wristband for my Fitbit, which had broken after very little use.
An office chair. A piece was wrong making the thing unassemblable. Got the money back and bought a more expensive one from a much better shop. Happy about that because the expesive chair is much better than what the cheap one would have been.
Elden Ring, not my type of game
A controller, because im a dingus who didnt bother to make sure it had the right connector for my phone (it didnt)
Lindsay Olives Ripe Pitted Snack 4 pack. They changed the packaging, which is fine, but the olives taste worse and have strange texture. I already tried Pearls and they didn’t pass muster from the get-go.
GTA V on Steam, but not because of AntiCheat that makes the game unplayable on Linux. I just don’t like it. It’s not fun.
I bought a power supply for a second hand monitor and found that the 90-degree angle on the plug meant it couldn’t actually go into the socket. I took it back to the shop and the owner offered to solder a straight plug onto the adaptor for me - but couldn’t find one to use, so he gave me my money back.
Last night, hotel sucked. Went to a better hotel. Not really a refund, but we weren’t charged for the rest of our reservation.
