Their return policies are a little annoying. I didn't realize it got bumped up to 30 days!

High maintenance women would walk in with a wool sweater they put in the washer and claim that "it didn't wear well" and we'd take it back. That phrase was like some magic saying they all knew.<br /><br />I've watched the return policy change slowly over the years and have been pretty surprised recently as it's become more and more strict. 90 days was understandable. 30 is a bit strict.<br /><br />Despite that failed attempt at expanding a few years ago (Fourth & Towne), they just launched a BR jewelry boutique. Sounds like they need to stop diversifying and concentrate on keeping the loyal customers they already have happy.Jeannine | The Small and Chic Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702901309930825003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777071693570789698.post-8853619618609590662009-06-21T20:50:05.960-07:002009-06-21T20:50:05.960-07:00I think 30 days in a little unreasonable.

It makes me feel like once I spend money there they need need need it and that is why the 30 day rule. I used to love BR and bought the majority of my wardrobe there but in the past yr. or so I have found very few things. I think their styles are boring and the quality of garments is slipping. Same for Gap. Don't shop O. Navy much so cannot really speak for them.Annonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754508344408920046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777071693570789698.post-74350988448543174732009-06-19T13:31:21.566-07:002009-06-19T13:31:21.566-07:00I've noticed that they have cracked down on re...I've noticed that they have cracked down on returns, etc. If you order online many of the items have to be returned via mail and not at the stores which is a pain.a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15072699457424749576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777071693570789698.post-82761861764451509572009-06-19T13:30:16.255-07:002009-06-19T13:30:16.255-07:00That's crazy - maybe they are trying to be lik...That's crazy - maybe they are trying to be like Target where it's harder to return a shirt than it is to get out of a leaseJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988473379518407523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777071693570789698.post-83926402810987607182009-06-19T13:17:37.742-07:002009-06-19T13:17:37.742-07:00that is ridiculous! thanks for letting me know, I ...that is ridiculous! thanks for letting me know, I always put returns on the back burner.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838224991966075589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777071693570789698.post-74142261743321348632009-06-19T12:45:07.562-07:002009-06-19T12:45:07.562-07:0030 days?!
