![]() So be patient! Those funds are coming your way soon. This is especially true when you have returned your goods by mail rather than returning them in store. Once you initiate a return, it can take a few days for the merchant to process the return and issue your refund. I am still being charged when I have returned the goods If your bank or card issuer needs more information about the refund, such as the specific transaction date, time, and amount, you can reach out to us and request confirmation. If this is the case, we ask that you reach out to your bank or card issuer to confirm that these funds are properly paid out to you. In some cases, you may have cancelled or closed your card at some point after you placed your order with us. I have received a refund to a cancelled card or a closed bank account? In this scenario, Zip would cancel the remaining installments and credit $10 back to your original payment method You then initiate a return for the items totaling $160.00. Now let's say that you contacted the merchant and they have confirmed that you are eligible for a partial refund. Starting Payment Schedule: Zip Order #987654 The first installment of $50.00 was charged upfront when the order was placed, and the remaining three installments have not yet been paid. The order total for Zip Order #987654 is $200.00. Please see an example of how partial refunds work with Zip: This will happen within 13 days of us receiving the funds from the merchant (not 13 days from when you receive a refund email). In the event that you return your entire order and the merchant processes a full refund, your outstanding installment payments will be cancelled, and any installment payments that you have made to date will be refunded to the payment method that was used for the order. Refunds are applied to your fourth and final installment payment first, then to your third, and so on until the full refund amount has been credited/issued back to you. I want to know what happens with my payments when a refund is processed If you return an order and the merchant processes a refund to us, we will automatically adjust your payment schedule within 13 days of receiving the funds from the merchant. Returns will always depend on the merchant's specific return policy, which you can generally find on their website. We will always start by crediting the refund amount against your current installment plan, and then any remaining balance will be refunded to your card on file.įor example, if you request $300 but the total purchase amount is only $200, the difference of $100 will be credited toward your order within 13 days and your balance will be updated to reflect this.įor more information on this, visit this article. We will automatically adjust your payments within our standard 13-day timeline. The amount I requested was larger than the purchase total, and my current balance has not been updated to reflect the true amount You can usually find the merchant's contact information in the “contact us” section of their website. Please contact the merchant directly about any issues involving the delivery or condition of your goods. My goods have not arrived or have arrived damaged Your refund will not include these service fees. Please be aware: we do charge a $1/installment non-refundable service fee for app orders and select checkout orders. You can usually find this in the confirmation email you received when you placed the order, or you can check under your order details in your Zip account When you contact them, make sure to have your original order number handy. ![]() Please contact the store or retailer directly to start the refund process. ![]() Returns and refunds are handled by the merchant from whom you originally purchased your items, not by Zip.

You could probably find a way to obfuscate the data in an Excel cell that is not obviously either a password or protected somehow.

While “the current PS VR headset is compatible” with PS5, a patent uncovered in October 2019 suggests Sony has explored plans to release a successor to the device, which launched in October 2016 and has sold some five million units.Ī Bloomberg report earlier this month claimed a next-gen PlayStation VR headset is scheduled to launch after PS5 hits the market. “It’s something where you can never have enough computing power there’s always going to be that hardware limit, and that limit is never going to be high enough for us!

The probability of this kind of UUID duplication can be calculated, but random things are like buying lottery tickets: it is impossible for you to expect it to get rich, but shit luck usually comes inadvertently. Generate a UUID based on a random number, or a pseudo-random number. ![]() ![]() This version of UUID guarantees: the uniqueness of UUIDs generated by different names in the same namespace the uniqueness of UUIDs in different namespaces the repeated generation of UUIDs with the same name in the same namespace is the same. Name-based UUIDs are obtained by computing the MD5 hash of the name and the namespace. However, due to the order of time factors, the low order is first and the high order is last, so it is not suitable for primary keys and can be combined. If the application is only used in a local area network, a degenerate algorithm can also be used to replace the MAC address with the IP address-Java's UUID is often implemented in this way (of course, the difficulty of obtaining the MAC is also considered). But at the same time, using the MAC address brings security concerns, which is where this version of UUID has been criticized. Due to the use of MAC addresses in the algorithm, this version of UUID is guaranteed to be globally unique. The term GUID is also sometimes used specifically to refer to Microsoft's implementation of the UUID standard.Ī time-based UUID is obtained by computing the current timestamp, nonce, and machine MAC address. The total number of GUIDs reaches 2^128 (3.4×10^38), so the possibility of randomly generating two identical GUIDs is very small, but not zero. ![]() Ideally, no computer or cluster of computers would generate two identical GUIDs.
