Refund rejected due to lack of unboxing video for a defective product
I purchased an Anker Soundcore Select 2S Bluetooth speaker from the official MediaMarkt Turkey website on June 22, 2026. The product was delivered on June 23, 2026.
After unboxing, I immediately noticed that the front metal grille of the speaker was visibly bent and deformed. The packaging was intact, so the damage does not appear to be caused by shipping.
On the same day, I submitted a return request and sent the product back within approximately 30 minutes of delivery.
However, my return was rejected on June 27, 2026, and the product was shipped back to me.
When I contacted customer support, I was told that the reason for rejection was the absence of:
an unboxing video, or
a damage report prepared with the courier at the time of delivery.
These requirements are not realistically applicable for standard consumers in Turkey and are not commonly practiced during regular deliveries.
As a result, I am disappointed that a well-known retailer like MediaMarkt is applying such strict conditions even for a clearly defective product.
I am requesting a full refund without additional conditions, as the item was clearly delivered in a damaged condition and the return was initiated immediately.
