Just a quick query for some advice please.
My GF recently bough me some earphones as a present. The problem is they don't fit into my huge ears - they're the type with different buds to secure themselves.
I want to return them and get a refund but they came in a sealed plastic container, the only way to open it was to cut the box open.
Can i still return them even if the box has been "damaged"?

Probably not as they wouldn't be resaleable. You can only try though, take them back and see if the shop offers you an exchange/credit note instead - if they do you should take it, it's probably the best offer you would get!
