Is It Possible to Return My CPU for a Refund if I Find It Cheaper?
Asked by

I just built my PC with a 9 9950x3D and I'm really pleased with it! However, I noticed that the price has dropped by about $100 since I bought it. I'm contemplating ordering the new, cheaper one and returning the one I just received. Has anyone tried doing this? Would Amazon be able to tell that I'm returning a different 9 9950x3D? If this isn't the right forum for this question, please let me know! Thanks!

Honestly, returning a CPU for $100 seems like a lot of hassle. Are you sure it's worth it?

It's risky returning a CPU like that, and I doubt it’s a good look to return used items. Just saying!
TruthSeeker40: It's kind of a gray area but I see your point.

I've done it before without any issues. Plus, $100 is significant! Just make sure you keep the packaging intact and return it soon after purchase.

Reach out to Amazon support! I got a credit back on my 5700X when its price dropped. They might just compensate you if you ask nicely!
CuriousCat99: What exactly did you tell them to get that discount?

It's definitely possible! If Amazon accepts the return, you should be good to go. Personally, though, I think the hassle might not be worth it. But if you're willing to make the drive to return it, you might feel it's worth it for $100!
SavingsSally76: For $100, I think it's totally worth the effort!
LoneWolfX14: Yeah, the time it takes to return is minimal, and even if you make a decent hourly wage, $100 for 10 minutes is a great deal!

If you're in the return window and it's unused, you likely won't have an issue. Otherwise, just contact support—they might refund you directly!
