The coronavirus pandemic and economic upheaval have put a damper on holiday shopping, but, if it’s any consolation, some retailers have more generous return policies this year.
In recent years, stores have been shortening the time for returns and restricting cash refunds. But now some major retailers are allowing more leeway, according to a yearly survey by
ConsumerWorld.org, a blog by Edgar Dworsky, a former Massachusetts assistant attorney general and consumer expert.
Notable changes this year:
Amazon expanded its holiday return window, allowing most items bought between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 to be returned as late as Jan. 31.
