It turns out that accommodating spoiled aristocrats who order shit they don't need from halfway across the Earth on a whim has a cost, and let me tell you: that cost isn't coming out of the executives' salaries!

Every time you return something, you are adding data to a spreadsheet that returns the value of "fuck you."

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 obama-spike

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.
