Amazon's flexible return policy may not be as risk free as you think.
The company bans shoppers for violations, which include returning items too often, according to The Wall Street Journal. Some users aren't told what they did wrong.
Amazon boasts free and easy returns for several of its items, which has pushed many brick-and-mortar stores to offer the same policies as they struggle to compete with the e-commerce giant. But it turns out Amazon's return policies may come at a price.
Dozens of people have taken to Twitter and Facebook to complain about Amazon closing their accounts without warning or an explanation, according to the Journal.
Paul Fidalgo wrote about being "exiled" from Amazon for "excessive returns." Other people noted they had also been banned from the site for similar reasons.

Hahahaha...”Hey...these things taste funny! What the...”
Indeed...we lived about 10 miles from Natick location, and my dad wore a groove driving there. That and Spags in Shrewsbury!
Yep. LOL!
“They said to keep it and I got refunded. I was able to straighten the frame to use it and bolt on right.”
I did very similar. Re-soldered one joint on a $100 battery charger and good to go. Plus they sent the replacement, of course.
That was a good place.
My mother still has a large television cabinet we got from there on a Black Friday sale.
Good memory.
All American burger will give you a refund on breakfast even if you eat most of it. They even fired one of their employees for threatening a customer with violence after the customer got impatient when trying to get his refund.
It happened a lot!
It is told as a true story about Nordstroms in Seattle. The old lady comes in to return some tires. The guy at the counter tells her “I’m sorry, but we don’t sell tires her ma’am”
“Well, my husband recently passed away, and we buy ALL of our things at Nordstroms, so I’m SURE he bought the tires here.”
The manager heard this and told the gal they would take the tires back.
(In retelling it, I’m not sure of the logistics of this older lady getting 4 tires to Nordstroms. I’m guessing it is a fake story - but they do/did(?) have liberal return policy. As does REI sports equipment.
I asked a guy at REI about that. “I don’t think it happens a whole bunch. I suppose some folks buy boots to take a weekend hike and return them. On the other hand, how are you going to tell if your boots will work for you if you don’t hike in them?” They sell the used stuff at their “Garage Sale” that they hold once or twice a year.
Some people are really nervy, aren’t they?
“Was it a store policy thing?”

Drove 1/2 hour with a 4 year old.
Bought a vacuum.
Drove 1/2 hour home.
Plugged it right in——it was dead.
Drove right back for another 1/2 hour to return it.
They told me I had to get it repaired at one of the approved repair shops.
True story-——needless to say I went nuts!:-)

I remember driving all the way out to Spags with my grandmother and aunt wayyy back when i was just a little boy.
one of my earliest memories.
What a long drive, all for some shampoo that nobody else sold..
