It is basically the same here. Retailers ony have to give refunds for
faulty goods or by prior agreement (think Target, KMart etc where it
is advertised policy). Most will offer exchanges for wrong sizes or
choices and some even if you just change your mind, although they are
not obligated to do so.

Actually, we have more rights than those you have mentioned. Changing
your mind isn't one of them, although many stores will do that (as you
say).
