I haven’t returned things half way across the world (except one time), but I have returned items from within the country of origin. With clothes I try to refrain from doing so unless it won’t fit.
What’s worse is the companies that demand you buy a single part from their factory half way across the world. I was trying to buy a replacement cap for one of my Japanese-made water bottles. It would’ve costed me like $35 plus shipping from Japan. I ended up just buying another identical bottle for $25 and requested a refund, saying it arrived empty
I rarely buy treats unless I know I’ll use them for a long time and researched thoroughly. But sometimes you just gotta take advantage of these companies
The same thing happened to me with a part of my Hario coffee grinder. Turns out import duties from Japan costed more than the item itself, but I had already bought it and needed it to get my coffee.
