Is there a time limit on refunds?

Is there a time limit on refunds? Seriously, is that even legal?! Three years? Two years? I mean, come on. That feels incredibly unfair, doesn't it? Like, I remember this one time, I bought a ridiculously expensive blender – it was supposed to be the best, right? – and the darn thing died after a year. A YEAR! And guess what? The store's refund policy? Two years. I'd just barely missed it. I was so mad, I practically exploded. It still makes me cringe.

Two years after paying for something? That's crazy. I mean, things break down, right? Stuff happens. Life gets in the way. You forget. You know? And suddenly, you've lost hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars, just because a company has some arbitrary deadline? It's infuriating! It really stresses me out thinking about having to keep track of everything for two or three years. It's like, do I need to build a whole filing system just for receipts? That's ridiculous.

What are these “substantial exceptions,” anyway? They better be pretty darn substantial. Otherwise, it's highway robbery, plain and simple. I'm telling you, companies need to be more reasonable. It's our money! We deserve better.
