27. How to Manage Returns & Warranties Properly

Jason Chen insists that your shopping isn’t complete until you understand the return and warranty terms.
Important things to check:
- Return window duration
- Whether returns are free
- Restocking fees (common in electronics)
- Warranty claim procedure
- Whether seller or manufacturer handles repairs
Why this matters:
Many shoppers regret purchases but cannot return them because they ignored the fine print.
Jason warns:
“Holiday returns are chaotic. Read the policy before buying, not after.”
