1.3 GET THE STORE TO INCLUDE A RECEIPT; CUT AND REDUCE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
EXPENSES.
Some
stores will now give a receipt without the price. So if the gift needs to be returned, the
gift recipient will know where to return the gift and have a proof of purchase.
1.3.1 THE ART OF RETURNING GIFTS
When
you return or exchange a gift, make sure that you get credit for the price that was paid
for the gift. For example, if you return a shirt in January when it is on sale, yet the
shirt was bought in December at full price, you should get credit for the full price paid
originally.
Make
sure you get credit for any tax that was paid. Stores have a way of "forgetting" to refund
the tax.
Don't
assume that you can only exchange a gift; the store might give you all the money paid for
it or a partial refund if you want to buy something less expensive.
1.3.2 MORE REFUND AND RETURNING TIPS
==
Small stores, sidewalk venders, or flea market stalls may only offer you store credit for
a return. Always check before you buy.
==
Avoid stores that say, "All sales final. No refunds."
