Amazon’s Auto Refund Policy works!

First of all, I need to preface this by saying that I don’t  work for Amazon.  This blog is not intended to be an Amazon fan blog.  It’s just … kind of turned out that way. I have some other posts in the pipeline that don’t involve Amazon, like a review of Google Inbox and our newly-purchased Roomba.

But, in the meantime, here’s a little more Amazon fanboy’ing.  I just received an automatic refund to my account b/c the price dropped on my Roomba about 3 weeks after i bought it.  I thought the policy was 1 week, but it’s clearly been raised.  This happened seamlessly, without me even knowing a price drop had occurred.  Cool, huh?

Here’s the email I received:

Hello,

We’re writing to let you know that we recently offered a lower price on iRobot Roomba 780 Vacuum Cleaning Robot for Pets and Allergies. We’ve issued a refund of $29.01 on Order #xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
