On April 12, 2026, I went to the Zara store at İstMarina Mall to return or exchange items I had purchased online, which were completely unused and still had their tags attached. However, the store staff refused to accept the items, stating that the 30-day return period had expired.

I request that Zara make a goodwill exception in this case, allow an exchange for my items, and provide a fair resolution that does not leave the customer at a disadvantage.

I bought something quickly at Zara Izmir Optimum without trying it on first, and then I lost the receipt. I went to the Zara Bornova store and told them I wanted to exchange it within the legal time limit. They told me to get a new receipt from customer service. Even though I gave Zara customer serv...
