Return Issue at Michael's

The policy is fairly well detailed here:

Corporate called me and refunded the $30 plus tax to my credit card!

you could buy a new dress and never wear it...

and then bring it back to the store a year later, see that it's on
clearance for half the price and then demand they refund you the
difference.

obviously you can't do that either.

her situation was a little different. She had bought a toy at
Target,paid and left. Then went back later that day because she
forgot something. She saw the toy she had purchased earlier, now with
a clearance price so she bought it...and then went home and got the
one she paid full price for and got full price back since she had the
receipt. And no it was not a waste of gas, since Target is less than 3
min from us.

Honestly, as long as you have the receipt and are still within the
return window, I would go back and simply return the invites. Since
you are outside of the 7 day price match window, of course they are
not going to willingly give you the lower price. Sometimes it pays to
only give information out on a need to know basis. The clerk didn't
need to know that you would be turning around and repurchasing the
items again.

If you bring it back in new condition, you bought it a month ago and
you have a receipt, will they let you return it?

This is a great example of a robotic clerk who beats the customer over
the head with a "rule" even though it's perfectly clear your request
fell within their guidelines.

Here's hoping you get a successful resolution.

And thanks for using PlanetFeedback.

I think your request was tacky.

As long as this item was still on the shelf, all you had to do was
return the three boxes without saying anything, pick up three more and
pay for them. I don't think anyone can stop you from doing that.

The policy is no price adjustments after 7 days. It applies to you,
too. She said no exceptions.

Even though you wanted it rung up a differently as a way to be clever
and beat the system, you were still requesting a price adjustment.
Returning and then re-ringing the item as a purchase will yield the
same result. Trust me, you are not the only person to try and pull
that one.

You are entitled to nothing.

" I don't understand why this would be an issue."
They have a policy, and the store follows it.

Where does one draw the line? They have a clear policy, and they
enforced it. I don't see why you are owed anything.
