Question about new pressure washer

That extra 10 feet even if you only use one of it can make or break some jobs.

Maybe Iā€™m a little bitter about how I can hardly get Simpson to warrantee a pump with an advertised five year warranty, but you can get a grand returned and keep the machine.

But something feels sketchy. Especially with a Honda GX390 on it.

In other words, youā€™re running a scam on them and donā€™t want them to figure it out? Just exactly how do you ā€œjinxā€ a refund? It either is or it isnā€™t, no such thing as ā€œjinxingā€ it.

Bingoā€¦my thoughts exactly.

He said the money had already been refundedā€¦apparently, it has not been.

I screen shot his deleted post where he said no refund. Whole thing is screwy.

Iā€™m pretty sure I read a little over a year or so ago about people ordering stuff on Amazon and then saying it never showed up and telling Amazon they want their money returned instead of the product and Iā€™m getting the feeling that thatā€™s whatā€™s going on here.

I am sure that he would have had to sign for an item of this value.

Wow. Didnā€™t think I was going to be scrutinized for deleting the post saying they wernt going to refund the pressure washer first. I deleted it to avoid any confusion but obviously just made more. The ad said no refunds however when I contacted them m they told I would receive a refund however it would take 3-5 days to process which I believe is standered.Thereā€™s nothing ā€œscammyā€ about itā€¦I called and said I wanted to return it and they told me they would refund it and to keep the machine something about because it has gas in it, it canā€™t be shipped backā€¦thatā€™s itā€¦nothing moreā€¦i bought it from Amazonā€¦ and didnā€™t want to go into any details until it was all said and done to ensure I wasnā€™t passing along information that was not correct. I have really enjoyed reading the post on this forum and have learned a lot and hope that can continue without having to defend myself.

The weight of this washer would have probably required freight company deliveryā€¦they would have required a signature.

I caught myself being judgemental without knowing any of the facts. Not my business.

  1. I am a little bitter because of the warranty thing not the $1k and a brand new Honda.

  2. I deleted the Amazon picture but only because it had my momā€™s name and zip code on it.

  3. At the end of the day this is a phenomenal place to learn a ton, but you shouldnā€™t really care what anyone thinks about you. 1/3 of the people arenā€™t going to like you, 1/3 will like you, and the other 1/3rd just doesnā€™t care.

Thereā€™s nothing wrong with it right? Itā€™s just that you bought it, and decided you didnt want it? If so, thatā€™s crazy that they are going to let you keep a $1000 item because of buyers remorse, lol.

Not making it up. told the guy I no longer wanted it and he told me to do with it what I want and he would refund the money.

I agreeā€¦but,if they were told that it was defective, rather than buyerā€™s remorseā€¦well, that could change things.

I think i had something similar happen to me with Amazon onceā€¦ where i needed to return something, and they said to just keep it, and refunded my money. I think it was only like a $25 item, thoughā€¦ never thought they would do it for something like this.

Christmas in June for you! :grinning:

my jaw dropped when they told me!!

Well, you do admit that a company just giving you a free item of nearly a thousand dollars value is going to raise some suspicion? I have returned many things purchased through Amazon going back 10 years and I cannot recall a single time where I was told to keep the item. Here are the last 5 things I returned to Amazon and all of them had to be returned:

Fumoto F-109N Engine Oil Drain Valve
2.7" LCD Dash Cam FHD 1080P Dashboard Camera
Narciso Rodriguez for Her Limited Edition Eau de Parfum Spray with Atomizer, 2.5 Ounce
RIDGID Wet Dry Vacuums VAC4000
Fitbit Blaze Smart Fitness Watch, Blue, Silver, Large

Iā€™m not saying this to call you out but to show you how fantastical that sounds. Thus the reason for the skepticism.

I hear ya. and agree its crazy but itā€™s true. No reason to make it up.

I have returned a lot of items, alsoā€¦never an offer of a refund and keep the item.

But, if it is on the levelā€¦more power to the OP.
