There is a point to mention here, it probably doesn't apply, but I don't know how many of you good people know about this:
Europe isn't such a bad thing...they brought out a directive called the distance selling regulations, that states something on the lines of things bought mail order or via a website can be returned within x days for refund, no questions asked, faulty or not.
Probably due to not being able to examine it yourself.
To clarify the others, shops are not obliged to refund at all, unless sale of goods 1979 is flouted, they usually exchange/offer credit, and some good ones do refund.
I have found usually the big chains are better to buy off, for returns, as I have had problems even with faulty things off small shops. The big ones don't really care as much as its not their cash.
I even got 2x£1 gift vouchers change from whsmith...they don't give cash...rotten lot
