Walmart return without reciept?

[Silverwinged]

Well, I accidentally bought a friend the same gift as another friend did and I volunteered to return it.
A sealed item from Walmart... But like an idiot, I threw out the reciept.
Do you think they would still give me my money back? Or just a store credit? (either way I'd be happy) I've never tried to return anything before without having my reciept....

What's the dollar value? When I worked at a big box retailer they didn't care too much.

Generally they'll give you store credit without much trouble. Cash, not so much.

Consumer Complaints about Wal-Mart - Returns

looks like they usually require a receipt. but then i guess the people that were able to return something without one wouldn't be on the complaints page anyway. give it a try.

About $100 after tax.
People that I have talked to said Walmart should take anything back, but I'm still nervous.

Do they sell the item at Costco? They'll take anything back without a receipt. Even if you didn't buy it there.

Hrm...actually they might not give you cash for it. NM.

This is true. I returned something without a receipt months after I had bought it.

Stop by and say hi!

use the store credit to purchase something within walmart for the same cost. then return that item and try to get cash for it with the receipt.

this worked for me at zellers. It was a long and conviluded way of turning a gift certificate from an entirely different store into cash.

yep

just go to an ATM, and print it off. As long as it shows up as walmart and the price is equal to what you are trying to return i'm sure it will be fine

i once saw a guy at costco returing a lawnmower with grass still stuck in it saying that he didnt need it anymore.

i once saw a guy at costco return a carton of cigarette butts cause he didnt like the flavour and wanted to exchange them for a new carton.

i once saw a lady at coscto return a pkg of batteries with two missing and the rest all used up.

yuk yuk yuk yuk

[impure]

if all else fails, cry.

Walmart will take anything back with or without a reciept. And usually they will give you cash back.

I once watched a man return TWO childrens booster seats that were dirty, used, and reaked of urine. AND they were not even in a box. They gave him store credit..
