As of this writing Christmas is just 86 days away, which always comes with a season full of returns. It's inevitable. So how can you be prepared to get top dollar when it is time for you to stand in that return line? Here are a few simple tricks that will help ease your way through the chore of returning items and help you to get top dollar for them.
* Get Together The Tags, Packaging, And Boxes.
Do your best to keep the boxes undamaged since store policies have recently become stricter. Keeping the boxes undamaged along with having the tags and packaging will make you more likely to get your items returned, and for top dollar.
*Be Prepared For A Possible Restocking Fee
Because store policies have recently become stricter, some are charging a restocking fee for appliances and tools as well as for lawn and garden products. The average restocking fee is 15%. Now this tip won't help you get top dollar but it will make things a little easier. Just by keeping this in mind, you will minimize any possible surprises.
* Bring The Receipt If At All Possible
Many stores will only give the lowest recent price of an item without the receipt. So bringing your receipt will increase your chances of getting the full value. Many gift-givers these days have become pretty hip and will include the gift receipt. However if they don't, don't despair. Return the item as soon as possible and this will lower your chances of having to take the sale price.
Best of luck and may you have many happy returns!
