  • Try to exchange it for the same jacket in black.
  • If you can't, get your money back.

Solo lo sabes tú

  • The zip broke the first time you wore it.
  • You haven't got a paper receipt, only the order confirmation email on your phone.

You are working on the customer service desk of a clothes shop.

Tus objetivos

  • Find out what's wrong with the item.

  • Offer an exchange or a refund.

Una buena versión. Léela después de que las parejas lo intenten, no antes.

A
Hi, I'd like to return this jacket, please.
B
Of course. Is there a problem with it?
A
Yes, the zip broke the first time I wore it.
B
Oh, I'm sorry about that. Have you got the receipt?
A
I'm afraid not — I bought it online. But I've got the order confirmation on my phone.
B
That's fine, that counts as proof of purchase. Would you like an exchange or a refund?
A
Could I swap it for the same one in black?
B
Let me check… Sorry, we've only got it in navy at the moment.
A
Hmm, I'm not keen on navy. I'd rather have a refund, then.
B
No problem. It'll go back onto the card you paid with.
A
How long will that take?
B
Three to five working days. Here's your refund receipt.

Reto extra para los más avanzados

The jacket was bought 35 days ago and the shop's returns window is 30 days: B has to explain the rule kindly, and A argues that a faulty item is different and asks to speak to the manager.
