The good news is, there are more stores with the best return policies than there are with the worst return policies. Double good news is that even if you need to return to a store with a not so good return policy, ReRunner has got you covered. So here is a list of 10 stores with the absolute best return policies and 3 stores with not so friendly policies. Also, if you’re looking for return policies of other popular stores, check out our retailers’ page HERE and click on the logo of any store to be taken to their return policy!
1. Nordstrom
With no time limit, Nordstrom is definitely scoring a spot on the Best Return Policy List. Often times you don’t even need a receipt because when they scan the item’s barcode it’s already linked to your purchase!
2. Bed Bath & Beyond
Another great store without a time limit on returns! If you have your receipt, your refund will go back to your original form of payment. If you don’t have a receipt, the store can track down your purchase made in the past year and if that fails, they’ll gladly give you a store credit or exchange your item.
3. Bath and Body Works
Bath and Body Works has a wish for their customers to be 100% satisfies and certainly achieve that without putting any time limits on their returns!
4. L.L. Bean
Although there’s a time limit, it’s still a whole year long!
5. Zappos
Another yearlong return policy plus free shipping on returns via a UPS shipping label you can print from your Zappos account!
6. Bloomingdale’s
So long as your item is in saleable condition, you can return anything within an entire year. They also have free returns on online orders!
7. Macy’s
Though not quite as nice as the others before, Macy’s will still accept returns within 180 (6 months) days of purchase
8. Michael’s
Similar to Macy’s, Michaels will accept returns within 6 months of the purchase date.
9. REI
As long as you have your receipt, REI will refund or replace your item for a whole year after your purchase!
10. IKEA
Another great return policy where you can take anything back within a year as long as your items aren’t dirty or damaged!
1. Apple
With only 14 days to return your products, Apple doesn’t make for the friendliest return policy.
2. Best Buy
This is another short return policy window with only 15 days and requires a receipt, the purchase card, and a photo ID
3. Barnes & Noble
The last not so friendly return policy is 14 days at Barnes & Noble and you have to pay for shipping for online returns.
