And now its time to get what you really wanted. Curt gregory, though, has some tips for you before you try to exchange those gifts. Reporter just when you thought you were done for the holid holidays, get ready for round two. Those dreaded returns. Holiday returns are arguably one of the worst parts of the Holiday Shopping season because you do think that youre almost done. Reporter many retailers tighten up their return policy to prevent flat out fraud. Go on to the website of the store youre going to and get familiar with their policy. Make sure you have a receipt. Leave the original tags on and make sure the item is in sellable condition. Without a recent, dont expect to get cash back. Without the receipt, it does get a little bit patchy. You may only have to get a store credit, for instance. So, the receipt gives you a lot of flexibility. Reporter if your gift was purchased online, some retailers will let you return it in their stores, but youll need the packing slip that came with the order to return it. If you ship the gift back, you may be in for a big surprise. One of the catches that we do often still see with online retailers is that theyll only do a refund to the original payment method. So, your gift giver is going to get a refund, but youre not going to get anything out of that transaction. Reporter afterchristmas sales are huge for retailers. Stores will try to lure bargain hunters with deep discounts. You might not want to rush out the door to make that return. If you could wait until saturday or even the weekend following, you could go and do your return then and then take advantage of those great postholiday sales. Reporter so, before heading out, do your homework and many happy returns. Curt gregory, nbc news. A College Student made a real difference for some families in the Atlantic City.
