One Hundred Dollars a Month

I’ve talked about why I love Costco’s return policy so much before, but did you know there are a number of other stores that have equally awesome return policies? While I never ever recommend you take advantage of these stores because of their return policies {let’s all be ethical humans!}, I do prefer to shop at these stores because it’s worry free. If I buy something and it doesn’t fit or it tastes like dirt or it falls apart soon after purchase, I know I can drive on back and get a refund without having to call over a manager or argue with a cashier. Here are a few stores who have awesome return policies:

Trader Joe’s:
You ate part of that box of crackers before you just couldn’t stomach them anymore. They weren’t what you were hoping for. No worries. You can bring your receipt and the container {even if it’s empty} and you’ll get a full refund! Their products are so good though, I’ve never had to return anything.

JC Penney:
If you make a return without a receipt, or with a gift receipt, you will get store credit instead of cash, but you can return anything at anytime without question. With a receipt? A full refund! Now you don’t have to be concerned when those pants you loved fit funny after the first wash! You won’t be stuck with them!

Bath & Body Works:
With a 100% satisfaction guarantee, you know you’re good to go if that vanilla scent smelled more like cotton candy {true story!} or their lotion wasn’t quite as lotion-y as you’d hoped. With a receipt, you’ll get a full refund. Without one you’ll get store credit based on the lowest sale price of the returned item.

Kohls:
There are no time restrictions on returns and they have a “no questions asked” policy. Like it’s in writing. Receipt or no receipt, either way works for them. You’ll get cash or store credit.

LL Bean:
They will take back both new and used items at any time should the products fail you for any reason. No receipt? No problem. They’ll give you store credit or replace the item on the spot. I ordered Lucy a winter coat last year but even after we washed it the coat was too small. LL Bean allowed us to return the coat for a smaller size, no questions asked.

Bed, Bath & Beyond:
If you bought your items within the last year and have a receipt, you’ll get refunded in the original form of payment. Without a receipt, you can still get a refund in the form of store credit, no questions asked.

Anthropology:
All merchandise, with the exception of furniture and other oversized items, may be returned at any time for any reason. Even 5 years after you purchased it. Awesome, right? {My mother LOVES their plates!!}

Nordstrom:
So technically, Nordstrom doesn’t even have a return policy. And while they’ll take back any item at any time with or without a receipt, they want to have a conversation first so they can learn why you were dissatisfied with an item, so they can hope to prevent it int he future..

Land’s End:
They’ll take back any item at anytime for any reason. If you return an item after 9 months, they’ll issue a refund in the form of a refund check, otherwise it’s cash money!

REI:
Let’s say you buy a coat you think will be awesome, but after 11 months of use it starts ripping or you find that it doesn’t keep you as warm as it claimed. You can still return it within a year for a full refund {you’ll need a receipt, of course!}. If you’re an REI member, just have the cashier look up your member number and they can return it that way.

Where are some other places you’ve had great return experiences? Any bad experiences?
