These are the stores with the best & worst return policies

They say it’s the thought that counts, but maybe that’s only really true if you can return it for something you actually want. While some stores will let you return anything, even without a receipt, others are more strict. That’s where Consumer Reports comes in with its helpful guide to stores with the best and worst return policies. Nordstrom has one of the most lenient policies, generally with no time limit and no receipt required on most returns. But that’s not the norm this year.
