You’ve bought it but now it’s time to return it. Navigating post holiday returns isn’t easy for anyone. If you’re wondering if you can or can’t return the items you no longer want or need this holiday season, we’ve created this guide to holiday returns for 100 of the top retailers. Some retailers don’t have a specific return policy for holiday purchases but some do extend their return deadlines for items purchased during a certain time period leading up to the holidays. Unless otherwise stated items must be returned with a sales receipt. Always be sure to check online or with a sales associate to see if the item you’re returning has additional restrictions for returns.
