Legit Amazon Refunds vs SE - wonton175 - 01-08-2021
I was wondering if anyone has had experience or knows whether legit refunds mixed in with SEs raises a flag for Amazon reps? There were some items I bought that I needed to return because of issues such as arriving too late for the holidays, found a better deal elsewhere, or I just didn't like it. They received the items back except for one, which they told me to keep because it was hazardous to ship back. Anyways, I did an EB on a light item, so I'm getting a replacement. Haven't decided if I want to double dip yet or not. I initiated a refund for another item and used ftid was already approved for a refund upon the drop off scan. Lastly, I ordered a laptop with plans to SE it as well. I should be getting it some time next week. I feel like I am being too greedy, which leads me to ask if legit refunds raises flags. I like to believe that methods such as EB/DNA count because the items are unaccounted for and legit refunds/ftid method wouldn't since the item was actually "returned". I forgot to mention the time between claiming EB and doing the FTID is 5 days. For the laptop I’ll probably try to refund near the end of the month.
Lastly, sort of off topic but does Amazon usually issue refund before they receive the item or did I get lucky?

In short, every company believes an SE Is a legit claim and If you treat It as such, there's very little to no cause for concern.
Be sure to allow a sufficient gap from one SE to the next, Inclusive of not using the same methods many times In succession. It's also good practice to use a combination of low & high value Items In between each transaction.
