Question about BRU and returns
Are they really that difficult if you take something back without a receipt and only want a store credit? I had registered for a monitor which I received. Then a friend of mine got me another monitor that I didn't register for (she swears it was the one on my registry but it wasn't) but didn't give me a gift receipt. I want the one that I registered for because it's nicer. I want to return the other one for a store credit. She also got me this other thing that is a duplicate and I don't have a receipt for either of them.
Do you think they will return these things? Everyone keeps telling me they are very difficult.
Re: Question about BRU and returns
Okay yah. I figured. I mean I worked for Kids R Us for 3 years a long time ago and we would always return things for people and give store credit.
The Manager at my local BRU use to be my manager at KRU so hopefully I'll get a hook up. LOL.
Not to mention, the 2 things I have without receipts equal close to $100. I want to use that towards my stroller!
wow, my experience without a receipt was a nightmare!!!!! A FLIPPING NIGHTMARE!
Long story short, I ended up with 2 beddings for Ella. I tried to return one to BRU, figuring it shouldn't be an issue since it was on my registry but boy was I wrong! My Aunt didn't have a receipt so they were attempting to give me almost $90 less than what she paid in store credit. WTF! Instead of accepting this, I made them go through all of their store receipts and locate my Aunt's transaction....and then made them give the $349.00, which is how much she spent! And 20% off of my entire purchase for making sit in their stupid store for 2.5 hours!
I hate BRU...
just be sure to do/try it soon. ?i had a bunch of things i ended up not needing, had receipts, and because it had been more than 90 days since they were originally purchased, they refused to take them back. ?not even for store credit. ?and they still had everything i was trying to return in stock. ?i was really annoyed.
?
alternatively, can you add them to your registry before you go? maybe that would work. ?and claim "pregnancy brain" or something if they point out that it doesn't show "fulfilled."
Since you know the manager I think that will help.
I have heard them say, no receipt no credit or exchange. I didn't know they were that strict. My daughter took back a few things and had no gift receipt. They told her no. It wasn't even opened.
i would add it to your registry, and take the other one off if you can... tell them you got two of the same thing and neither was deducted.it worked for me on a couple of things.
also - it totally depends on who you get at the register... i have had them be totally leniant, and total a$$es.
