Remorse and The Long Return Lines

With the holidays being over and all the gifts exchanged, it is time to either hit the stores or the customer service and return lines. When it comes to tech gadgets, the remorse is slightly more painful because of the high price tag of the fancy hi-tech toy. During the rush of the holiday season, we all want to give the perfect and nice gifts for everyone on our list but many people never stop to think whether the other person really needs it or if it is just something that sparkles. I mean do they really need the extra tablet for internet phones or internet fax? So the solution is to return it because you probably do not want to spend a couple hundred dollars on a toy that is going to be used as a coaster. The way that stores are going to get you with their return policy is that they have a very short window frame of when you can return the item. At Best Buy, you have just 14 days to return any unwanted computers, monitors, projectors, camcorders, digital cameras or tablets, compared with the usual 30 days. Walmart gives you 15 days for tech gear, 75 days less than the usual return policy allows. Remember, that’s the time after purchase, so if somebody did their Christmas shopping early, you might be out of luck. You’re a little bit better off if you ordered through Amazon. The site gives you 30 days after a computer or Kindle is delivered to return it for a gift certificate or refund.
