Advice needed on returning goods!

tazore

Hi All, first time on here.
Just need clarification on this: A DSI and a couple of games was brought on a visa card for a friends son at Christmas, unfortunately he passed away recently. My friend has given me the gifts back and i have no use for them. Can i return them at this point?? And by the way the visa card was not mine? Does this make a difference?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Have they been opened ? what was the site they were bought from ? some sites may only accept returns if they are faulty but it depends on the retailers t&c's, if they wont accept them then maybe ebay is an alternative, the person who ordered teh items should sort it out

I don't think you'll have any luck returning them and have no legal grounds to insist upon it either.

Ebay or trade-in will likely be the only option you have.

You have no legal grounds to. Where did you buy them from?

Legally, no, you have no rights to return it (unless it's faulty).

No ask no get though, and some stores might give you a refund, or perhaps exchange it for something else.

Why not give them to a charity for them to raffle off? If your friend's son died of a particular ailment or something, give them to a related charity.

OP has every right to her money back, she should get in touch with trading standards immediately, as thugs like this that sell things willy nilly need to be sorted out. I hope they get the police involved and give these traders a reet lesson in ethics, a week breaking stones on Dartmoor would not be amiss.

you really are an insensitive berk aren't you!!! Why don't you grow up.

I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but am gonna say it anyway
I think this is a wind up, nobody in their right mind would

A) be at all bothered about getting money back for something so trivial when somone has died.
Think they could return a used (not faulty) gift never mind that it was bought in December when it's now April.

OK I'm ready to get an ear bashing...

Whilst I sort of agree with your comments, I also agree with the sentiments of Freddie_snowbits.

Come on folks can anyone honestly say that they would expect a refund on a product which had been bought 4 months ago and is probably one that can't be returned unless faulty anyway? If the OP had purchased the item say within a fortnight and was used I would say ask but 4 months - that's pushing it.

I may be wrong (and if I am I apologise) and the OP is genuine but......................

Yes, but I have grown up

Of course it's a wind-up. Do you know that the word gullible isn't actually in the Oxford English Dictionary?
