Sounds like an easy thing to dispute through your credit card company.

Also check your card benefits. Mine has theft and damage coverage and I've used it to replace a phone I dropped.

What if they didn't buy it on a credit card? I think I've bought 6 or 7 things on a credit card my entire life. I don't like pointless debt.

If you're using a credit card for its benefits (like buyer protection, which I have several times over the years) and have the money to pay it off immediately, it's not pointless debt, but a net benefit to the purchaser.

Then they have fewer options.

She was really busy and left it too late to go to the card company by the time she had finished arguing with them.
