Stores With the Best, Worst Return Policies

Have someone on your Christmas list who is never happy with their gift? Be careful where you shop. According to Optoro, a reverse logistics company, roughly a quarter of retail returns take place during the holiday season — meaning an ill-advised purchase can turn from bad to worthless if it's bought at a store with a strict return policy. There are several retailers who offer hassle-free returns with no deadline. These include department stores Nordstrom and Kohl's; specialty retailers L.L. Bean and Lands' End; and home goods store Bed Bath & Beyond.
