The lines at return counters will start forming early Friday as many people take their gifts back. If you are one of them, we have a few suggestions.
Check for a gift receipt before heading to the store.Many people tuck them in with their presents.Many stores will post or publish their return policies, so you may want to look before heading up to the exchange counter.That way there are no surprises.You will likely have seven to 10 days to make a return, so do not procrastinate, even if you hate crowds.Remember, retailers are not required by law to give you a refund or even exchange an item.So being patient and polite could get you a long way.For those going to the mall to shop, many retailers promise there will be a lot out of good deals out there after a slower than expected holiday shopping season.
