Christmas is over. Which means only one thing: time to take back all those gifts that didn’t live up to your expectations. It’s not really a bad thing. In fact, many retailers expect presents to be returned and offer “gift receipts” for the savvy shopper. But there are some other tips to make the gift return process go a bit more smoothly. Having that receipt is crucial but some retail outlets like Best Buy could look up a purchase on their computer. Although that might pertain only if you made the purchase and not someone else. After all, you don’t want to credit back the gift giver’s account.

It’s also important to keep all the labels and tags intact. You might not have any control over this on the receiving end but if you’re giving a gift you have “doubts” about then make sure they’ll be able to return the item without a hassle. Most stores have their official return policy written right on the receipt. And be on the lookout for a restocking fee. Some stores might take that onto the return value of an item. You might be able to haggle that away. It’s worth a shot.

There are some other items you’ll be returning after the holidays as well but these won’t be going back to stores instead they’ll be headed to the closest Charlotte recycling center or certified landfill. This would be all the trash that has accumulated since Christmas morning. And we can’t forget getting rid of your Christmas tree before it becomes a genuine fire hazard! There is one business who can handle those kinds of returns in a single trip. That would be Junk King Charlotte, the junk removal specialist.
