Return Policies - In-store & Online

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.
