I'm not big on returning stuff, mostly because of the hassle of having to deal with shipping, explaining, waiting for the money or replacement, etc.
But just this past week, I returned a ukulele for the first time, and it took me a few days to make up my mind, with a lot of back and forth on my part. In the past, I had kept two ukes (since then re-homed/sold) that I honestly wanted to return, but I ended up keeping them because the main issue was that I just didn't like them as much as I thought I would, and I felt bad for sending them back for that reason.
I'm curious what your experiences have been. Did you return ukes you bought new? What were your reasons? Or did you keep something you wish you had sent back? Why didn't you?
I'll attach a poll, though I'm sure there are possible return reasons that I didn't include. Pick something that's close and elaborate in a comment, if you'd like. I also just realized that options #1-3 may seemingly overlap with #5. #1-3 apply if you returned the uke for a cash refund, #5 if you kept it and got a discount or exchanged it for a different instrument. (Wish we could edit polls!)
