'Tis the season

Meg rightly points out some Amazon wish list mysteries, and I’ll add another gotcha ‘found’ by a friend.

If someone buys you a pressie from Amazon they can specify that it is a gift. If, for whatever reason, you have to return it note that they won’t just let you exchange it, or give you a credit note for it, they WILL notify the giver and refund the item back to them.

Now, I understand why this happens, but it’s just that they don’t make it clear.

Anyway, now you know so you need not get caught out on Boxing Day.
