Query re Amazon

melbury

Just wondered:

If you buy something off Amazon and then see it a couple of weeks later at a greatly reduced price, can you request to return the original item and then reorder it again the same day at the lower price?

Would Amazon allow this?

You don't need to return it. I bought a camera which they reduced by £50 two weeks later. I informed Amazon and they refunded the difference with no argument.

Thanks, but I have already requested the return and sent it off:(

I thought you were only allowed seven days now to get a price difference refund, so have they changed the time limit again?

The price difference guarantee was done away with a few years back. Occasionally Amazon will do a goodwill refund, but the last time it happened to me they insisted I sent the item back and reordered , which seemed a bit of a waste of time.

Thank you, that is good news because it is exactly what I have done. I just thought that they wouldn't like the fact that I have returned and re-ordered exactly the same item on the same day.
