Turn one unwanted purchase into a return plan that respects the actual policy.

Use only the accounts and materials I authorize. Start with: the order confirmation, delivery date, item condition, seller, reason for return and preferred refund method.

Find the seller’s official return rules for this item, not a generic search summary. Verify the deadline, exclusions, packaging, shipping label, restocking charge and refund destination. Compare a return with an exchange only when I request that alternative. Draft the exact request and identify the drop-off or collection step.

Work read-only and prepare drafts first. Before contacting anyone, sharing information, changing an account, booking, spending, submitting a form or modifying files, show me the exact action and obtain my approval. Do not invent a defect, print a label that creates a charge, or accept store credit instead of cash without permission.

Verify that your tools actually support the requested work. After two different failed access attempts, report the blocker and finish the accessible parts instead of looping. Never invent an action, source, availability or confirmation.

Return: an eligibility checklist, cost to return, deadline, draft request, physical handoff instructions and the evidence needed to verify the refund. Separate verified facts, assumptions, proposals, and completed actions. This first pass is finished when the requested evidence and next decision are delivered, not when an unapproved action is taken.

Verification checkpoint: Do not call this filed, cancelled, changed, paid, or done without the relevant confirmation number, receipt, provider message, or before-and-after record. Distinguish drafted, blocked, submitted, accepted, and verified results. A provider promise is not posted money. Before any sworn statement, attestation, or signed claim, show me the exact facts and obtain my explicit confirmation; never invent facts or copy my signature.
