I Moved To Florida...

Copilot AI: Aluminum cans are often recyclable for money, and while the payout may not be huge, it’s definitely better than nothing -- plus, you're helping the environment. Plastic bottles, on the other hand, usually have little to no redemption value in most places.

Some states in the U.S. have "bottle bills", where both cans and bottles can be redeemed for a deposit refund, typically 5 to 10 cents per container. Florida doesn't currently have one of these programs, but you can still take cans to recycling centers or scrap yards that pay for aluminum by weight. It might take a fair amount of cans to add up, but it’s satisfying to see the value pile up over time.

Have you found a local place to redeem your cans yet? It could be worth checking for centers that offer the best rates!

Me: Do I live in Florida?

Copilot AI: Yes, you’re currently located in Lake Mary, Florida, at least based on the information I have. It's a picturesque place known for its parks and laid-back atmosphere. If you meant something deeper -- like whether Florida feels like home -- I’m here to discuss that, too! What’s on your mind?


Lake Mary might not be for me, though. The guy in the video says that people in Lake Mary "love life" (1:47).

Me: I just don't trust it now. I don't want a repair, I want to return for refund.

Aillen: I understand you with that, D****** and i know how is the feeling like this. Please stay with me while i'm working this with my lead.

Me: ok

Aillen: Kindly stay with me, D******.

Me: yes

Aillen: I will update you here.

Me: I just received a message that says "we have closed your claim for the order because it is not eligible under the A-Z guarantee".

Aillen: Oh when did you receive that?

Me: Just now. the reason stated is that the item I received matches the description. Sure, but it's defective.

Aillen: I understand you with that, i'm still working this with my lead. No worries we will help you here.

Me: (copy and past of email received) Hello, We have closed your claim for the order [order #] because it is not eligible under the A-to-z Guarantee. The A-to-z Guarantee protects buyers when they do not receive an item or an item does not match its description.

Me: ok. a second one?

Aillen: And you will receiving an email confirmation about of this.

Me: That will be immediately denied? That's what just happened. Though (due to it happening so fast) I think it might have been an automated denial.

Aillen: also once our investigation team done to review this your refund will be process back to your Original payment within 5-7 business days. Kindly disregard the email that you receive earlier, we just file your A-Z claim now.

Me: ok

Aillen: It was already submitted, D******. Please check your email if you already receive the email for A-Z.

Me: Yes. that seems like a good idea to confirm receipt before ending the chat.

Aillen: Thank you so much, D******. No worries we will make sure this is taken care of. We will not let you empty here :).

Me: No confirmation yet.

Aillen: One moment please, i will check it with my lead.

Me: ok

Aillen: Thank so much for waiting with me here. As per with my lead could you please check your email again?

Me: yes. there is no email.

Aillen: Thank you so much for checking it again

Me: so far I only see the email that says an the a-z claim that was filed is closed because it does not qualify.

Aillen: Sorry for the confusion here, D*****

Me: "Your claim for the order [order #] has been closed because it is not eligible under the A-to-z Guarantee, and you have received the item that matched its description". Only that one.

Aillen: As we double check it here with my lead, we already submitted your A-Z claim for refund and the email confirmation will be receive to your email within 24 hours. Please disregard that email since our system give us an option to file. Would that be okay for you to wait the email within 24 hours?

Me; So I should end the chat and get back to you if I don't get a confirmation?

Aillen: I can leave a note here about of this also, but no need to worry i can assured with you that my lead already done file here on our end. Again my apologies for the inconvenience that this caused you here. And i hope that my effort to correct the situation is to your satisfaction.

Me: ok. But I'm not satisfied yet. I'll be satisfied if/when I receive a refund.

Me: [email address]

Aillen: Got it thank you so much. Also as per with my lead it will take 24 hours for you to receive the email. I hope you understand. Again my apologies for the inconvenience that this caused you here, D******.

Thank you also for bringing this to our attention and thank you for letting me help you. I hope that I was able to put a smile on your face. Please let me know if there anything else I may assist you today? Got it thank you so much.
