Was at WMT today, wow, what a radical 180degree shift in policy.

Looks like a receipt is mandatory.

Appears to be a hard 90 days with receipt. 30 days for computer gear, accessories, digital cameras.

Interestingly, this equals Crappy Tire. Except they are a little more bold "No receipt - no refund - no exceptions".

WMT does offer to "help" with dealing with the manufacturer on repairs after 90days with a receipt. But I am not sure what that means.

Anyways, as I stated before this will help with sales - keeping the returns down to a minimum.

You kinda get use to returning something months later...

Anyways, H/D allows you to apply the return to a gift card. Have to see who is next to blink.

Still puts Costco in a world of their own. I would be betting they are next. THeir policy has been 30 days generally - though they have never bothered me when I took something back after a longer period. The real gem, they generally take back the gear within a year if it fails. That is the piece I am looking out for. (then again maybe I really am waiting to see if they open a store here.. something about the environment makes me want to work there).
