What I mean is that the items chosen are also sold online by the same retail store that is being SEd.

I understand that, but given the Items were not purchased directly from the store you're SEing, they're not part of their Inventory.

Essentially, If the return Is scanned or a stock count Is performed, they'd Identify that the Items were not picked, packed and dispatched by them.

Late update: successful! refund was given on Saturday no questions asked.

Good work.

They obviously didn't thoroughly check the return, or perhaps didn't check It at all.
