Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries consumer‑rights laws protect buyers, so saying ‘sin problema’ is a friendly way to reassure the customer. In very formal contexts you might prefer ‘sin inconveniente’ or ‘sin dificultad’. Remember that ‘devolver’ is the standard verb for returning goods; ‘regresar’ can be confused with ‘to go back’.
