recommendation would be to wait until after january 2 which is actually national return day which is when david: i didn t know there was an official date for that. i d way to say the third through 15th and then do your returns. david: next weekend could be better than this weekend. i would agree, yes. david: like ralphie, what if i wore what i received once is it still returnable? it depends on the store, so nordstroms and is very generous with their return policies so you can return things without tags if they have been worn, however most stores really want those items to be in sellable condition, so tags on, or at least with the item, outer box there, everything kind of ready for them to put back on the shelves. that s when you re going to have that more favorable return experience. david: sometimes, people are kind and they throw a receipt in the package and gift package but sometimes they don t. what happens if i don t have have a receipt. correct the gift receipt is your way
