Check refund policies before yuletide purchases
Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Jim Ernst urges shoppers to ask retailers about return and exchange policies before buying gifts. The Manitoba Consumers' Bureau notes no universal law requires returns, so policies vary by store. Ask if returns are accepted, time limits, refund type, restocking fees, exclusions, proof of purchase, and whether returns must be at the original store.
