Β Black Fri-what? Β Thrifty Thurs-who? Β Super Satur-blah! Β Forget all those made-up marketing ploys, holiday shopping is officially here with Best Buy taking its Black Friday deals live online onΒ Tuesday. Β Which seems awfully early since you’re buying all that stuff for other people…Β right? Β What if they don’t like it?
There’s probably a full month before most of those gifts will serve their purposes. Β Places like Best Buy and Walmart do have extended return policies this time of year, but they still start at the point of purchase, which means you have a shorter amount of time after the holidays to return them.
So when should gift return policies start: at the time of purchase, or the time of giving?
