RETURN & REFUND ANALYSIS Primary Issue: Customer wants to return a pair of jeans because they do not fit and receive a full refund. Return/Refund Reason: Wrong size / Change of mind Customer Sentiment: Calm — the customer communicates their issue politely and provides relevant information without expressing frustration or anger. Urgency: Low — the return request was made 7 calendar days after delivery, well within the 30-day return period. Requested Outcome: Return the jeans and receive a full refund to the original payment method. ELIGIBILITY CHECK Time Eligibility: Eligible. The item was delivered on August 25, 2026, and the return was requested on September 1, 2026, which is within the 30-calendar-day return window. Product Eligibility: Eligible. The jeans are confirmed to be unworn and unwashed, with tags attached and original packaging available. Reason Eligibility: Eligible. A fit/size issue qualifies as a change-of-mind return, and the policy permits returns within 30 days when the required condition requirements are met. Return Shipping Responsibility: Customer is responsible for return shipping because this is a change-of-mind/fit-related return rather than a wrong or defective item. Refund/Resolution Eligibility: Eligible for a full refund of the product purchase price after the returned item passes inspection. Original shipping charges are non-refundable. Exceptions: None identified. Order information is provided and appears sufficient for verification before approval. POLICY DECISION Decision: APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS Policy Basis: Customers may request a full refund within 30 calendar days of delivery when the item is unused, unworn, unwashed, and returned with original tags and packaging. The customer meets these stated conditions. The refund must be issued to the original payment method after inspection, and original shipping charges are non-refundable. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility for a change-of-mind return. FINANCIAL IMPACT Assessment: The product/order value is $64.99. A full refund of the eligible product amount may be issued after inspection. Any original shipping charges are non-refundable. The customer is responsible for the return shipping cost. RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION Recommended Action: Approve the return, subject to order verification and inspection of the returned jeans. Once the item passes inspection, issue the eligible refund to the original payment method. The customer should be informed that return shipping is their responsibility and that original shipping charges are non-refundable. Alternative Options: Size exchange is also available within 30 days if the item meets the return-condition requirements, but the customer's requested full refund is policy-supported and should be the primary resolution.
