Why doesn't amazon want this product back?

Asked by hug_of_war (10735points) January 3rd, 2015

I bought an $8 flashlight on amazon for christmas but decided to get the recipient a different gift. They are refunding me without me needing to return the item. Why? Is it so cheap as to not be worth it?

Pretty much, it’s a measly $8, how much would shipping be to get it back? Plus you an guarantee it probably cost them $2.

Amazon is run by computers and is following its programming. They probably don’t know how to handle a refund.
