Yes, but they must provide a designated pickup/drop-off point. Blocking access without an alternative is unreasonable and can be challenged.

Reservation fees must come with clear terms and a signed agreement. If there’s no clear “non-refundable” clause, you can request a refund under fair trade laws.

Yes, but it's risky for buyers. Always check if the seller is verified or legit. If they fail to deliver after payment, it may be considered estafa.

If there’s no defect, stores are not legally obliged to accept returns. However, many allow returns as courtesy, so check their policy before buying.
