Original Texts
ここ10年間で日本で100万枚を超えた曲は13曲あり、その内8曲がAKBという人気振りです

でも、それには理由があってCDに握手券や投票券などの特典がついていることと
他の人たちの場合はダウンロードして聴く人が増えたこともあります

AKBの一番の特徴は年に１回、1番前で踊る人を選挙で決めることです
その投票権はCDを購入したり、ファンクラブの会員になったりするともらえます
この投票権が欲しくて、一人でCDを何千枚も買う人もいたりするので
CDが100万枚も売れている理由にもなってるのよね

Over the last 10 years there have been 13 songs to surpass the ten million sold mark in Japan, and eight of those songs are by AKB48.

They often include bonuses like "handshake coupons" and "voting ballot" with the CDs, but the number of people who download and listen to their songs has also increased.

The main feature of AKB48 is that each year there is a vote to determine which of the member will dance in the very front.
You can get a ballot by buying a CD, being a fan club member, or from other things like that.
There are some people who buy thousands of copies of the CDs just to get the ballots, so that is part of the reason they were able to sell ten million of them.

I understood your explanation.
However, I do not want to proceed with a refund right away.
I am unable to process a refund until the item is returned by the buyer.
Furthermore, because the return is due to the circumstances of the buyer, I am unable to offer a full refund.
What should be done in the case of a partial refund?
Also, if it isn't done after the refund, I won't be getting shipping fees back, will I?

I am very thankful for your suggestion, but based on the result of discussions within the company it is necessary to check the items and return them to the supplier.
I am sorry to inconvenience you, but I'm hoping you are okay with following my suggestion.
The amount of $658.94 + $50 + the cost you pay for shipping will be returned as soon as we receive the items.
If, upon receipt, it is determined that some of the items are missing we will not be able to process the return, so please take care when packing them.
If this is agreeable to you, I will provide you with our address.

The items you sent to me recently arrived today, and nine of them are clearly different items. This was quite a disappointment.

I was going o contact the customer center directly, but I thought I should contact you first and see where that goes.

Why were there different items in this order?

Rather than return them I'd like to exchange them, and I am hoping to be able to deal with this is a timely manner.

I look forward to your reply.
