Return Policy on Electronics During Holiday Season 2012

bestbuy told me Jan 24th for items purchased during the holiday season

Roughly the same, but extended... Note that Best Buy uses a firm that tracks store returns with your ID across several merchants and limits you to two returns per year. You can bypass this by having your significant other or a friend return for you

Holiday Return and Exchange Policy

Need to return a gift? Our extended holiday return period makes it easier.

Purchases made between November 4, 2012, and December 24, 2012, can be returned through January 24, 2013.

EXTENDED HOLIDAY RETURNS: Gift purchases made between November 4, 2012 and December 24, 2012 qualify for our Holiday Return and Exchange policy. Products (goods) purchased as gifts may be returned through January 24, 2013. Terms of our standard policy (including, but not limited to "non-returnable items" and "photo identification required") apply. Carrier contracts for mobile phones and other third party service providers (e.g., DirecTV contracts) do not qualify for the holiday gift policy. Geek Squad® Protection/Trade-In Plus plans returned after 30 days from date of purchase will be refunded at a pro-rated amount. No restocking fees.

Sorry I meant return with receipt when I posted, I believe what your posting is for people returning without receipt I assume

Quote from joogle : Hi - does anyone know the return policy for Walmart.com and Bestbuy.com for electronic purchases. I bought a laptop and xbox bundle but am heading out to vacation will return Jan. 1st, but wanted to verify the return policy. I checked online it appears electronics also get extended return period but want to make sure I avoid any Issues.

Agree with other posters, Best Buy gives you until Jan 24th for any electronics purchase.

BUT Walmart works a little differently. Normally electronics have a 15 day return period, but
"If you buy an item between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24, 2012 that has a normal return policy of 15 or 30 days, we will extend the time you have to make a return by starting to count those days on Dec. 26, 2012."

So for most common electronics purchases at Walmart that gives you until Jan 10 for things normally falling under the 15 day return policy.

I contacted walmart.com for clarification, they said 15 day for electronic still applies, luckily i decided to return it on the 14th day.

Surprised they don't know their own holiday return policy from the link I gave you. You should have had until Jan 10th if you bought it on or after November 1.
