What happens when you return a gift to Amazon?

My brother sent me a christmas gift through Amazon, but I already have it. Does the return amount get sent back to him, or to me? I couldn't find any info on the site, and though I have made returns to Amazon in the past, I have never returned a gift. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I think if you return it on Christmas an angel loses it's wings. (Sorry, I don't know the actual answer)

Write Amazon's customer service (or call them if there's a phone number) and ask them.

"Amazon Gift returns are confidential.

The online Returns Center allows gift recipients to return items they received as a gift even if the order was not marked as a gift when it was purchased. The type of refund or credit you receive depends on how the gift was purchased and how it's returned."

And here's the Returns Center: http://www.amazon.com/gp/css/returns/homepage.html/ref=hp_navbox_giftreturns_button

@llamabox: thanks for the link
i love amazon, usually the best prices, great CS, and an all around simple to handle company... just wish they used paypal, not that they ever would since ebay owns it, but it would make life simpler.

@llamabox: on my particular return, it only gave me an option for a refund, not for a gift card. I will have to call tomorrow. Thanks for the info!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
