  And it may be illegal in some states to not offer the customer an actual refund.

    £5.99 refund. Quite clearly not in the US.

        Default country is best country.

      They did say states with a lowercase s. ‘States’ = regions within a country, ‘states’ = countries.

        £ is from a country that does not have states

      A gift card is not a refund.

      TBH I would expect stronger consumer protections in the UK…but I definitely don’t know about this type of refund specifically.

        The UK, for all its problems, does typically have some of the best consumer protections in the world. I can see Amazon being forced to overturn this if there’s enough uproar (which there might not be tbf, seeing as they gave extra credit as compo).

      Many countries other than the US are comprised of a federation of states. And also those that aren’t are generally considered nation states or sovereign states, which are still definitively states. The United States of America do not have an exclusive right on statehood.

      Plus even though it may be implied that the original replier intended the context to mean the United States of America… it is a valid response with further implication that one should check their local jurisdictions laws if they were so inclined to do so.

    Wait a minute, the US doesn’t have a blanket consumer law federally?

    This sounds like a pain.

    Federally this is against Australian Consumer Law. Didn’t offer the service you paid for? Better believe that’s a refund.

  And is that amount of money enough to replace the item that’s been taken away? Like if the DVD were widely available at the same price at the time of the digital purchase, but you got the Amazon “purchase” instead (for convenience?) then what are the odds that you can still get the DVD for that price today?
