“Because many retailers carry the same brands and offer comparable pricing, a good return policy really should be the X factor that helps you decide where to do your holiday shopping,” said Casey Bond, GOBankingRates’ managing editor. “Your gifts – however thoughtful they are – are more likely to be returned this season than any other time of year; give your friends and family the extra gift of an easy return process if they’re not happy with their presents.”
Preview of the best return policies1:
- Nordstrom return policy: This high-end department store comes closest to having zero restrictions on its return policy, and no time limit to bring in a gift for refund.
- Macy’s return policy: This store doesn’t enforce a set time period for returns and allows online purchases to be returned in store as well.
- REI return policy: Recipients have up to a year to return unwanted gifts and benefit from an added 100 percent guarantee; with a proof of purchase, customers can return unsatisfactory items even after the tags have been removed and they’ve been used.
- Costco return policy: Most items have no return time limit and customers can obtain a full cash or check refund with just the membership number used to buy the gift.
