ReplyThanks Sam
ReplyI work at a thrift store and we get a lot of mistakes that Amazon sends people and tells them not to worry about sending it back. Try to get them to give you a refund, not so easy
ReplyIt may be impractical, but this is why about 80% of the gifts I give people for Birthdays and Christmas is gift cards to their favorite stores or restaurants since they can use them whenever and not need to be returned.
ReplyWe can’t afford Christmas this year.
ReplyHow awful they couldn’t even donate them to a shelter?
ReplyWhy crispy white baby jesus. ‘Is it so hard to do better
ReplyIf I can I buy most items from goodwill. Most items have tags from previous purchase , brand new. And when I do buy online, if it doesn’t fit, I am always thrifty enough not to overspend and I donate to a lspecial education school.
ReplyReturns are mostly women’s clothing, finally someone speaks out the truth
ReplyThis is a really important issue! Thank you so much for covering it!
ReplySame thing with food. Ppl are starving and they throwing food away. All about profit. The best gift is $.
ReplyOh noooo I needed to see this 2 hours ago.
ReplyFast, Cheap, Good.
ReplyConsumers will only ever get 2 out of the 3.
Though I agree individuals can help by limiting the amount we buy, but is this not much like the expectation of individuals stopping climate change when both the fault and the remedy lies with large corporations? I mean I know I look for a return policy when I need to make a minimum purchase for free shipping. And if the company is unwilling to take the time and money to put returned items back into their inventory aren’t I as the consumer ultimately paying for that in inflated costs of items I do buy? I mean we know that it isn’t the corporations taking the hit.
ReplySeriously, forget trying to determine anyone’s ideal gift and play it safe with buying them store/online gift cards. It’s the best gift giving option for the holidays, Bdays, Valentine’s etc.
