Christmas is just around the corner. And,
suddenly, you experience the annual
"Christmas -list panic.
To help you survive, here are a few
shopping tips:
-Make a careful thought-out list before you
begin to shop.
-Keep the gift recipient's age and tastes in
mind. Will Uncle Harry care that magenta
ties are all the rage this year?
-Determine the store's policy on refunds and
exchanges before you buy.
-Get it right the first time. Write down sizes
and color preferences! Retailers say that
items most often returned are those that
don't fit (that child has grown again) or the
color was wrong ( it's nice, dear, but the
color just isn't me).
-Be a comparison shopper. It's amazing the
results a bit of shopping around can bring.
Read the ads. You may find a store in which
you normally don't shop has exactly what
you're looking for.
-Get a receipt or other proof of purchase and
keep it in a safe place, separate from the gift
itself. Keep in mind that some refunds and
exchanges are limited .(often 10 days from
date of purchase). Certain item, such as
bathing suits, underwear and record, may
not be returnable under any circumstances.
Check first.
-There is no law requiring stores to refund
money or exchange merchandise. If your
purchase is defective, you may have to deal
directly with the manufacturer. For this
reason, it is also a good idea to look for a
manufacturer's guarantee with the item.
-The store's exchange and refund policy
should be posted in a prominent place. Keep
an eye out for it while you shop. If you don't
see it anywhere, ask a salesperson. If you
have good reason for returning a purchase
and have complied with the store's policy impulse buy.
there should be no difficulty returning or Arm yourself with sound consumer
exchanging merchandise. knowledge as well as a comfortable pair of
Take your time and pace yourself. Don't shoes.
