When to use it
退 (tuì) means 'return,' and 退货 (tuì huò) specifically means 'return merchandise.' On apps like Taobao and JD, 7天无理由退货 (qī tiān wú lǐ yóu tuì huò; '7-day no-reason returns') is standard and guaranteed by law for most items. In brick-and-mortar stores, especially smaller shops or markets, returns are much harder; you'll often hear 特价不退不换 (tè jià bù tuì bù huàn; 'sale items can't be returned or exchanged'). Always ask before paying.
