  Great post. A lot of people just don't want to take the time to call or go to the store and lose money all the time. Do you think the wealthy ever throw anything away or not go get a refund? They most certainly do go get a refund and don't throw things away but donate them and take write offs. I used to be an accountant and had wealthy clients that looked like they lived on the street. It made my head spin.

  I'm a customer service rep for a large retail company. You'd me amazed at what some people try to return. Here are a couple of other good pointers to add to the original post.

  I'm not saying that if something breaks or malfunctions you shouldn't call, but if you've been using something constantly for a year or two, like a pair of boots, and it starts to wear out then don't call us complaining.

  Call us promptly is something happens or if you notice something wrong.

  Please, please, PLEASE read the return instructions first! We're always happy to answer your questions but the easiest way to avoid wasting your time and ours is to read all of the information first.

  Try on clothes before removing the tags and washing them. There's not a lot we can do if you've washed something and then discovered that it doesnt fit.

  I'm sorry if we messed up and I promise to do everything I can do fix it. But please remember that I didn't pack or ship your order and it isn't my fault. Yelling and swearing at me will only make me keep you on hold longer and not as inclined to go out of my way to help.

  If for some reason you do get a CSR that is unpleasant and not helpful, get that person's name and ask for a manager.

  We are not 411. Do not call us looking for other companies phone numbers/address/hours of operation/ ect, ect. Also, we do not keep track of what other companies sale. Dont ask.

  I do not work at ebay. We do not haggle or bargain. However if you are nice we might tell you about a promotion we're having. It never hurts to ask, and we don't mind if you do.

  Complaining about how much something costs won't help either.

  We don't set the prices, or decide how something is advertised. Complaining about it to us doesn't do you any good.

  I promise, your child's Christmas will NOT be ruined because he doesn't get a certain toy on time. Yelling at us will not make it ship faster, even though it clearly states to allow 10 to 14 business days for delivery and you ordered it two days before the holiday. And P.S, if that does spoil your child's Christmas than you desperatley need to take a step back and re-evalute you parenting techniques.

  Don't lie to us and please don't call us if you're drunk/bored/high.

  I promise these are all things that have really happened, and if we all work a little harder on our communication skills it'll make everyone happier. Remember, we are here to serve you and keeping you happy, and ordering from us again, is important from us. We survive mostly on word of mouth, however there are some people that you just can't please. But if you'll be patient we will try to fix it for you!

  I bought a white winter parka from LL Bean. I wore it all winter long. I could not keep it clean and the sleeves felt too short because I ordered a petite instead of just a regular. I called them next winter, they gave me a pre-paid return label, and sent me a brand new parka in a different size and color. No questions asked. LL Bean has the best return policy ever. I recommend buying things from them if you plan on keeping an item for a long time.

  Gymboree has the best return policy for kids clothes. They gurantee their clothes not to fade or shrink if they do you bring it back for a full refund. If you fill out the online survey they have and complain about the product you will get tons of coupons. If items have their tags still on them you have 180 days to bring them back.
