Definitely a warning to double-check a store's return policy before purchasing!</p> <p>I've found that some online stores at are taking longer to credit your card after they receive an item (over 4 weeks, sometimes -- way too long). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-81209 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:29:41 +0000 Melody 81209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Chris ... I don't think a 30 day return policy is adequate for the holiday season. I absolutely will not buy clothing as Christmas presents from stores with a 30 day return policy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-81147 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:54:02 +0000 Chris 81147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's usually much harder to do returns in independant boutiques than the large chains. You are right - have to really check and hunt for return policy or ask outright.<br /> 30 days seems reasonable to me also. The only time it might be dicey is Winter holidays when people shop early and put things away to give as gifts - we will see if they make allowances at that point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-81109 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:40:37 +0000 anne 81109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Japan too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-81108 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:39:36 +0000 Angie 81108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So right, Shana. And I'm sticking up for retail here. I think that a 30 day return policy is MORE than fair. Stellar in fact.</p> <p>In HK, Taiwan and Singapore, you often have to guess if something will fit because you can't try it on. Absurd, but the truth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-81089 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:31:40 +0000 shana 81089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all the stores are tightening their return policies. I know that GAP/BR/ON went from 90 to 30 days late last year and recently AT/ATL went from 90 to 60 days. Another sign of the recession, I guess. Understandable to a degree though - given how fast items sometimes get marked down, something could go from full price to clearance in 90 days. The stores end up eating the cost. Like Angie said - better than other parts of the world. In some stores in Asia, they wouldn't even let me try something on before I purchased! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-81017 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:57:35 +0000 Angie 81017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not know that you were local! Hello :0)</p> <p>If you are used to Euro return policies, any shop in America is a breath of fresh air! Not to steal your thunder – I hear you. Only Nordies is Nordies wrt return policies. Thanks for sharing this info. Hard luck that you couldn't return the item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buyer-beware-issues-with-returns-lately#post-80988 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:59:24 +0000 fathenry 80988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had a terrible experience with one of our local stores in Washington/Seattle Area called Romy. If you buy a promo item at Romy, be sure you want to keep it. I just tried to return an item and they have a no return policy on anything that is considered a promo. Their signs do not advertise this anywhere, however it shows up on your reciept after you make the purchase.</p> <p>I forget, it's not Nordstrom everywhere-always a shock. In addition, Romy's customer service email is no longer operational. Oh well. I guess I'll be more keen on this in the future when I shop outside of the large retailers. Anyone else had any issues with returns lately? </p>
