Translation help needed, how would you ask for a refund or an exchange?

I have a Spanish role play exam tomorrow and i need to know how to ask for a return and refund in a shop. Could anyone help me translate these questions and statements correctly:

1) Can I have an exchange on this item?

2) Can I have a refund on this item?

3) There is a mark on it.

4) There is a hole in it.

5) Here is my receipt.

Thank-you! I could probably blag these sentences but i'd really like to memorise them without any errors.

1) Puedo cambiar este artículo? 2) Puedo devolver este articulo? 3) Tiene una marca - Tiene una mancha (if its dirt) 4) Tiene un agujero. 5) Aquí está mi recibo.

I think I'd use "quiero cambiar/devolver". "Can I" or "puedo" allows a quick answer "no" while "quiero" at the least gains an explanation of why it can't be done.

I see what you mean, it's more assertive. But i can use either for an exam. - zeekoevlei, May 6, 2010

Start with devolución=return devolver=to return (an item)

devolucíon de dinero=refund

devolucíon para crédito

¿Puedo cambiar este artículo por uno diferente?

clipped from Kohl return policy. Interesting read for terminology.

The entire site is interesting for reading about "devoluciones y cambios" (returns and exchanges)

Kohl's customer service site

Las compras de Kohls.com serán acreditadas* en la cuenta usada para hacer la compra, a menos que usted indique lo contrario. Si desea recibir un crédito en la cuenta de una tarjeta de crédito diferente, complete la sección método de "Crédito o pago" del formulario de devolución y cambio que acompaña el pedido. Nota: Para evitar los costos de envío y manipulación, elija devolver su compra de Kohls.com en la tienda Kohl's más cercana.

Hola,

Sí, reembolso también y otra opcion para "exchange" puede ser "intercambiar".

I could also say 'me gustaría un reembolso' as well right?
