Here’s a method I’ve been using to blow past refunds, no questions asked. It’s all about how you talk to humans, not machines.
Platform: Any e-commerce, but works especially well with Zalando, and Klarna-based shops.
How it works:
1. Order an item with the most expensive shipping method. Doesn’t matter if the item is on sale.
2. Use “Pay later” with Klarna (or similar) to give you some cushion.
3. When the order arrives, immediately contact support – not to ask for a refund, but to act confused.
You will use language and tone to get the agent to second-guess the process, thinking it’s their fault.
What you say:
> “Hey, I got my order today, and honestly, I’m a bit shocked. The [item] arrived, but it feels off. It’s like I didn’t get what I ordered, even though everything matches the receipt. Can you explain why it feels so different from what I expected?”
They’ll ask you to explain what’s wrong.
– You don’t give specifics.
– You act like it’s unclear, just something doesn’t feel “right”.
4. Create urgency by claiming you’re about to leave the house for something and can’t really investigate the order right now. Just make them think you might have missed the return window, but that you're hoping to resolve it quickly.
5. They’ll offer you a refund without even verifying the issue most of the time because they’ll want to avoid you escalating. They’ll try to get you off the line fast.
