How to handle international returns when a seller claims item was fine

“weve bought outdoor furniture indoor rugs and end tables from restoration hardware. we’ve had for 5 years …the outdoor cushins are completely torn up the rug jas weird imprints from a folding chair that was in it for a couple days and won’t come out?!?”source ↗

“A memorial bench installed before I arrived is already in bad shape, and it's only 5–6 months old.”source ↗

“The bench was just under $6,000, and that did not include installation. My predecessor placed the order with a former colleague of ours who had left fundraising for a sales role.”source ↗

“The donor relationship is jeopardized so getting it fixed as soon as possible is important.”source ↗

“Could being low have killed this thing or was it a manufacturing defect or something else? Trying to decide what I need to push for - fix vs replacement since it never worked right and is dead less than 24 hours after install.”source ↗

“Just got this mini split from Costway. The indoor unit has some bent coils on the left-hand corner. Should I be concerned? This has not been installed yet, so I’m wondering if I should make a return or if the damage is minor.”source ↗

“I wouldn't be worried about the bent fins too much. I am wondering why the coil divider is so displaced and because of that I'd get a replacement.”source ↗

“My wife bought a chip repair kit to fix it before cold weather makes it crack but I don’t even know whether that’s likely for the tiny size of it.”source ↗

“Unfortunately, the bracelet has completely stretched to the point where it’s completely unwearable. Its thinness has caused it to keep breaking.”source ↗

“Despite taking it to my local jeweler for repairs multiple times, I’m now being denied service because of its thinness. I’ve also tried taking it to other jewelry shops, but none of them are willing to touch it.”source ↗

“I was denied support and informed by the company that my bracelet did indeed stretch due to normal wear and cannot be repaired or replaced by them.”source ↗

“I bought a ring from a seller on Etsy and received it yesterday. There is some tarnishing on the gold finish (925 silver)”source ↗

“I'm not sure how this should be handled. They didn't offer a solution, they just sent the photos and it shows the ring was in perfect condition.”source ↗

“I asked for a prepaid shipping label to return it. I'm not sure if they will provide it. I'm in Canada and the seller in India.”source ↗

“I recently bought an item and ran into a problem with it being defective. I found the seller to be cold and not caring about how it arrived or if it’s in good condition even though I spent a significant amount on the product. Now this whole process to dispute takes DAYS.”source ↗

“Did I just get a bad part?”source ↗

“Didn’t make it far and the right rear started dragging bad and got hot.”source ↗

“Is it possible I got a bad caliper out of the box?”source ↗

“Now, at some point, some how, the caliper seized, and they’re trying to charge an extra fee of about $300 (they’ve already been paid for the work for the brakes and rotors) to replace the calipers.”source ↗

“sounds like they messed up pushing the piston back in and now they want you to foot the bill for it.”source ↗

“That’s my thought process, every time I’ve done my own brakes on my previous vehicles, I’ve never had a caliper seize”source ↗

“They surely messed it up themselves. I have never heard of a car that new with a seized caliper.”source ↗

“I try not to get reman but I ordered these on my break and was not paying attention when I ordered, it is a reman.”source ↗

“I was wondering if it is a defective oil filter or i should not even think abt it.”source ↗

“I am asking because i am concerned because in my life i have not seen that on a filter”source ↗

“My brand new alternator is giving an output of ~4.6 volts.”source ↗

“How I can fix this? T-Roc II with 3000 mileage. Problem is existent from factory.”source ↗

“I had all 4 sway bar links replaced 5 weeks ago, but after 660 miles, i noticed the tab on the sway bar (where the links bolt into) snapped.”source ↗

“I don’t want any headaches and am hoping they would just give me some discount for changing the broken sway bar (probably $800~1000 labor+parts).”source ↗

“It doesn’t work. It’s just a shell used for display purposes. Manufacturers will provide these to retailers so people can see the product but they don’t function.”source ↗

“Is this okay for a cat to play with? (The photo on the listing didn't show any glue.)”source ↗

“Does anyone have any tips on how to scrap in process parts during a build? We are a manufacturing company and we have components that are not usable during a build. we find this out during the build process but my parts are already issued. I cannot unissue the lot because it that would not be compliant to edit a record once completed.”source ↗

“Leaks everywhere from this spot as we try out the first flushes to be sure everything is working.”source ↗

“Nah cant be by design, especially if its pissing water everywhere. Looks like it cracked during manufacturing”source ↗
