Is kashback.com scam or legit?
I came across it - they promise 15% of my friends' cashback, that's awasome in comparison with the others i'm using (topcashback and quidco). I've made a small purchase for £2 and got cashback, but still afraid about bigger transactions. Has anyone used them?

Question about returning item to Amazon
I purchased a Synology DS920+ for £493 last week, this week it has been reduced by £90. I called Amazon to ask if they'd price match and they said no and advised me to order one at the new price and return it with the old invoice. Can anyone confirm that this will work?

Will Amazon accept a return on opened air freshener items such as this?
In this case they are simple gel type air fresheners with a peel off top, each in a separate box. I've opened 3 out of 6 of the boxes, retrieved the other 3 boxes but not not 2 out of 3 the sticky paper peel off tops, so I've put something similar over the top. Would Amazon accept a return in that condition? I can't use…

Do Discounts Impact Valuation of Imports from EU?

Amazon Prime Delivery
Hi all, I am quite new to Amazon and I have a question. If I am part of Amazon Prime and I place an order, is the item supposed to turn up the next day or whenever they have a slot available?

I feel completely appalled that my 16yr old was refused to buy a packet of pain relief for severe stomach cramps because she looked under 16. It is not Illegal to buy pain killers at any age but shops seem to have policies which even when the 16yr old gets parent to send photo of passport to prove her age, she is still…
