OK, do you think they'd let me????

As you can tell, today I'm doing everything in my power to avoid real work....

I am sifting through receipts for taxes and came across one for a dress I bought in 1999 and never wore. I still have the dress, complete with tags firmly attached. Do ya think they'd take the dress back? So I have the nerve to try? LOL It was an expensive dress... I could use the money, even in a store credit!

They might, but they may only be able to give you the value of the last price at which that dress was sold. For example, when I worked at a department store back during my college years, we had someone bring in a comforter. It was a similar situation--it had been in a closet, and was never used. It also still had its tag. We were only able to refund her the clearance price for it.

Some stores also have a limited return time frame. It may be worth a try, though.

Ah, I'd understand the value of the lowest price it sold for, but I have the receipt showing what I paid.

The only thing I saw on the company's website is that they refund with a recipt and tag in place, to the original form of payment. I no longer have the credit card I used. So I'd assume they'd give me store credit?

I know I'm asking them a lot to return a 6 year old dress.


Oh, it was JC Penney's

Hey it can't hurt to try! And besides you said you couldn't find anything about a time limit.

[caseysmom]

Can you make the date part hard to read..hehe...I would be embarrased after that long but hey its worth a try.

[moosmom]

I'd give it a try. You've got all the paperwork they require for a refund. Don't laugh about it being 6 years. When I worked for Bed, Bath & Beyond, I had an elderly couple come in with a down pillow they bought 3 years before they wanted to return. It came complete with drool stains on it (I mean it was NASTY looking!!). Although they didn't have the receipt, the store manager gave them a credit. Go figure.

Depends on what store. I know Nordstrom would take it back. I'd do it, but then I'm probably as gutsy as you
