    Is Walmart getting strict with returns

    I hope This is the right place to put this

    My 360 broke down recently and I upgraded to a premium system. Now I am stuck with a extra hardrive and Hd-cables. I went to 3 Walmarts trying to return the new hardrive in the old hard drive box. The first Walmart says without a recipt we can't do anything and we don't sells those at this store. The second Walmart I tried didn't go well at all b/c I felt like I was a crook. The lady actually looked at the serial number on the box and the hardrive and knew they didn't match. I got a real dirty look for that, but I said I must of brought the wrong one and if I come back with the right one can I get a refund and she said it still won't matter without a reciept. The third Walmart I tried, I didn't bring the box and I was so close to getting a refund. The guy ask me When did I buy and I said a week ago, so he looked up if any were sold in the last week and the answer was no. If I would of said the last month I would of most likley gotten a refund.

    I remember not to long ago you could return anything to Walmart without reciept. I feel like i am a crook when I try returning these things, but should I? I am basically returning a brand new hardrive to the store. I could return the orgional one, but then I would have to transfer all my saves, etc. to my computer and the back to the new hardrive. What do you guys think I should do, try another Walmart, Target or sell it on E-Bay.

    Only if you think lying to Walmart in order to take advantage of their lax return policy is dishonest. You'll find people on both sides of the fence.

      The only treason I don't feel like a crook is that I am not returing anything broken. I am actually returning something that has never been used

        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            I've never tried to return anything there that was already opened.

              dishonest little boys like you go to hell!!!!

              I don't think they take returns for opened electronic items, unless you are exchanging it for the very same item.

                  Walmart is even starting to get strict on sealed items. I think over the years way too many people took advantage of their returns policies.

                    I just took back two sealed games to Walmart that I bought at TRU. No problems at all. The old lady behind the return counter said "I'm sorry honey, but all I can do is put the balance on a gift card." I hope TN Walmart's stay behind the times.

                      I know I used and abused Walmarts return policy. Since they use and abuse everything they come across as a company I really don't care. Eye for an eye.

                        I think it depends where you are located. I hear all these stories about easy returns without receipts but it doesn't fly in the stores in my area (metro NY).
