We don't have this issue in Cyprus. Here there is no such thing as a return. Once you've given them your money they aren't giving it back. Even if the item is faulty, they'll just send it for repair or blame you.

But you are definitely not getting your money back.

Dang. You can't review bomb them or something?

[–] danielfgom 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. It's literally ALL shops. Cypriots don't like to give back money

Sounds like y’all just don’t have consumer protection laws at all.

Nope. Not in Greek countries. Lol. I'm not even native. I'm married to a Cypriot so it takes some getting used to.

When you buy something you better be sure you want it and it meets your needs because you'rev stuck with it.
