That alone is not only OK but was recommended recently in the USA.
Specifically, during COVID the Apple retail shops were shut so you couldn't compare devices when shopping. I bought my GF a regular and max sized iPhone and she took a week to decide which one she wanted. We sent the other one back and had a refund before the credit card bill was even due, so as far as my bank account was concerned I really did only pay for one. In normal times we would have been unlikely to have bothered with this (although with something as personal as a phone...)
I can imagine that this only scales to a certain percentage of transactions though.
