Regardless – независимо Volume – объем, величина Return – возврат Refund – возмещение налога Haul – срок Hassle – трудность

 

 

Read and translate the text

Regardless of where dad bought mom's engagement ring, a higher volume national jeweler is often the best bet. They buy in volume, and so get better pricing. They have a solid, clear return / refund policy. They have a complete quality control policy. Finally, they are established companies that are going to be there to serve you for the long haul.

Flowers Aren’t Forever... If you follow these simple rules, your gift-giving experience will be greatly rewarding. It is a pleasure to see a loved one’s face light up when receiving that little box. It’s even better to see her face light up again 10 years from now when she remembers the trouble you went to (sure, let her believe it was a hassle...) to get that special something. After all, great things come in small packages.
