Lying about an overseas order
Question
I ordered a package from AliExpress but didn’t go to pick it up from the pickup point. Am I allowed to declare that I didn’t receive the package in order to get a refund?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
It’s forbidden to lie in order to receive a refund, that would be considered stealing from a non-Jew (gezel akum).
