The only thing I was unsuccessful with, I do actually have a gift receipt for at Babies-R-Us, I just didn't want to drive out there if Target would take it. </p> <p>So, yes, as long as they carry it, Target will take back things without a receipt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2134054 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 13:00:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2134054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If all else fails, are you on any local children BST groups on FB? I had luck selling some stuff on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133989 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:11:17 +0000 Veggiemama 2133989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely create a baby registry at Target before you go, I was able to return a lot of baby-related stuff that wasn't even on my registry without a receipt. At BRU it was a pain, maybe they have changed their policy but at the time if I didn't have a receipt they gave me the lowest price on a merchandise card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133923 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:29:01 +0000 birdofafeather 2133923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: kohls also has a good return policy with no receipts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133884 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:11:03 +0000 lilyofthewest 2133884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like Target is probably the winner. I'm finding multiple sources saying they'll offer up to $70 of store credit/gift card per year for returns without a receipt. A few of the things we do have gift receipts for are from Target...so, that might make it a one- stop return location for all but a few things that we can just donate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133879 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:06:49 +0000 kjpugs 2133879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: you can always call a store you know carries it and say someone purchased XYZ for you from that store but didn't have the receipt anymore, and ask if you can come in and exchange it or return for store credit. They should tell you what their restrictions are over the phone and usually are very easy to work with over store credit so long as they have the exact item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133876 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:04:31 +0000 Cole 2133876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: Go ahead and start one at babies r us, it's worth it for the perks they offer for returns. I didn't even need to can with items I needed to return, I just added them to my registry and then marked them as purchased. Even better, they offer a one year warranty on items from your registry which came in handy since I wound up with a few duds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133864 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:55:23 +0000 lilyofthewest 2133864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, the only registry I have is an Amazon one and folks definitely didn't shop off of it. ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133862 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:54:56 +0000 kjpugs 2133862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had very few problems returning items at BRU and BBB as long as the exact item was sold there. I know that BRU it was returned at the lowest price from a certain time period (like 2 weeks or a month or something) so if it had been on sale you got the sale price. IF anything was on a registry you have, you'll get the price that the person paid for it back at BBB and it will show back up on your registry if you choose to use the registry like a receipt. Basically it doesn't hurt to ask. Just make sure the store has that EXACT item before you go in and it should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133861 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:54:21 +0000 bunnylove08 2133861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can add the items to your registry and then return them. That got around the no gift receipt issue I had. You can call Toys R Us and tell them someone forgot use your registry. I did that with a couple of items we got from Toys R Us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133846 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:41:21 +0000 danda 2133846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had good luck returning things to stores for store credit at Babies R Us and Target (even though it was outside the BRU return policy...having a registry there might help but it included off-registry items). I think Target has a $ limit on returns without receipts but they can frequently help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-baby-things-without-receipt#post-2133841 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:37:58 +0000 lilyofthewest 2133841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coworkers at two of my worksites very sweetly and generously had baby showers for me.</p> <p>I ended up with some duplicate items as well as some things we simply don't need/want. Most things did not come with gift receipts, and some that did are for shop that's about a 90 minute drive away.</p> <p>Is there anywhere that might give store credit? Should I just donate it? </p>
