"Typo" in the shipping address
Suppose you are living on the street Builders, at number 2. But the seller sent (if sent) the order at that address: street of Builders, the house number 222. Most unscrupulous when it expelled the foam instead of the real thing. What for?
It's simple. The longer the parcel will wander through the post offices in the search for a destination, the better for the seller unclean hands.

Again the same calculation on the carelessness of the buyer. If you missed the term of protection and do not open the dispute in time, the transaction will be closed automatically and the seller will receive their earned dishonestly.
If you have time to think suddenly, a grief-seller can begin to put pressure on the pity. "Please close the dispute, the product is about to come" - he would cry. Do it in any case impossible. Upon cancellation of the debate will move the money to the seller and do nothing will be impossible. If the seller is really sent the goods, and any overlays with delivery, he would have extended the term of protection.

Change the delivery method and a partial refund
With this trick, you can face when buying goods from express delivery. As "Post of Russia"Does not differ careful handling of parcels, paid delivery is usually chosen when ordering expensive things status.
Suppose you bought the phone for $ 200. Fee for EMS or DHL was 50 dollars.

Let me return the money for shipping. Open debate and ask for $ 50 return. "
