I agree with you 100%. Target and Toys R US's return policies are crazy. Bed Bath and Beyond lets you return the item without a receipt as long as the item is listed on your registry. It doesn't have to have been scanned as bought on your registry, just listed. They even gift wrap the presents for the purchasers. I just wish they were as good for baby showers as they are for wedding showers. You are right to send letters to the major magazines to warn others of this and thank you too for this post. You are not bullying Target, they are a multimillion dollar company taking advantage of the consumer. Who has the money for class action law suit anyway, as one of the posts suggests, oh ya Target who can use their lawyers to make sure the case never sees the light of day. Obviously Target has terrible customer service, the thing that used to put them above Walmart and Kmart. I'm sorry that you had such a terrible experience, especially since Target seems to have refused to make things right.
