Returns

[P.C.]

Has anyone been successful returning something to a store without a receipt?

  I bought a miniature digital camera that fits on a key-chain.  It's adorable, but a Pez dispenser is sturdier than this thing.  With or without a receipt, shouldn't garbage be returnable regardless?  I feel inconvenienced enough that I even have to bother going back to the store.  I seldom return things, but sometimes I get tired of sucking up the loss.

Oh yea...forgot my real post.

I have.  The major dept stores do.  The smaller ones are to the discretion of the employee or manager.  If you make a big enough fuss, they will give you credit.

Never had any problem with large stores, however the smaller 'local' shops can sometimes be a bit awkward - depending on which side they've got out of the bed.

Ditto.  Can return almost anything to HBC/Zellers and Safeway.

Cannot return ANYTHING to StupidStore, even WITH a receipt.

It's always best to return things or make complaints when the shop is full, they can't wait to get rid of you and are always frightened that if they don't give you what you want without even a minor quibble, the other customers will know what sort of service to expect.

[Lil Me]

Are you an uber-polite returner, or one who demands service, Gophie?  What works?  

[Gopher]

Ueber polite. (but sometimes I throw in a touch of condescension, however this is only when I know I'm not going back to that place again).  

[purelife]

How come Stupidstore doesn't take your returns, LM?  

  They are pretty strict about the 14 day allowance.  

[Lil Me]

I dunno.  I've never had very good luck with the customer service counter there.

Oh, you can return ANYTHING to Costco.

I agree...Stupidstore's customer service really sucks... they're rude too!

  I love Costoc's return policy.   I also found out they had a 45 Day price adjustment.  I saw on their flyer that the weight scale was $8 off original price.  I had purchased one a while ago and had the price adjusted.
