In Store And Online Returns: Policies, Tips + More

I know it’s a little early to be giving this information…or perhaps a little late! The thought of returning or exchanging a gift after the holidays can be daunting. Here a some tips that will help you through the process.

In-Store Returns
-Do you NEED to return a gift the day after Christmas? The lines are inevitably long and tedious. Can it wait for a few days?
-Check the store for their individual Return Policy. (See the list below for some of our favorite Retailers.)
-Watch for time constraints vary from Retailer to Retailer (i.e. within 30, 45, 90 days…).
-Make sure you have all your receipts. Some stores like Kohl’s and Wal-Mart will offer an exchange with no receipt.
-Make sure you have all tags and original packaging. Some Retailers will not return Games, CD’s and Movies that have been opened.
-As you head out to the store, remember to take a deep breath and pack an extra dose of patience.
Online Returns
-Some Retailers will allow you to return your Online Purchase In-store, which will save you time and money. Again, check for store policies below.
-Look for the Packaging Slip from your purchase. It should contain clear instructions regarding your Return.
-Again, make sure you have all tags and original packaging. Some Retailers will not return Games, CD’s and Movies that have been opened.
-Keep all emails and receipts as a paper trail in case you have any issues with your purchase being exchanged or a return of funds.
