How to Ask for a Refund Without Sounding Rude (or Getting Ignored)

A product that arrived broken, a service that didn't deliver, a purchase you regret. Asking for your money back is completely fair — but how you word it decides whether you get a fast yes or weeks of back-and-forth.

How you’d normally write it
