It is up to the retailer. However, most stores will take back merchandise even if you have removed the tags as long as they can tell that it has not been worn.

Bloomingdale's is using the tags to help crack down on a practice so common it has its own name: wardrobing.

How do I always get a refund? ›

Most stores can look up your purchase and print you a new receipt if your method of payment was a credit or debit card. Quite often, stores can print customers a new receipt because they keep a record or copy of the purchase in their system.

A receipt sometimes contains an acknowledgment of having received a thing, and also an agreement to do another. It is only prima facie evidence as far as the receipt goes, but it cannot be contradicted by parol evidence in any part by which the party engages to perform a contract.

(1) A legal document evidencing a buyer has purchased and taken possession of the goods. A receipt can range from a small paper itemization of goods purchased in a retail setting to a document that a person storing an item has to prove another's ownership (i.e. a warehouse receipt). (2) The act of receiving something.

If you are missing a receipt, the first step is to contact the creditor and request a duplicate. Most creditors understand your need to maintain proper records. They also want to be sure that you both agree as to what has been paid and what is due. By providing their records, it is easier to work out any discrepancies.

You don't have an automatic right to get your money back if you just change your mind about something you've bought and there's nothing wrong with it. It's the same no matter how expensive the item was - it's really down to the seller whether they offer you anything.

Refunding fraud is about getting refunds without returning goods. For example, a customer buys an item, requests a refund once they get it, then makes a false claim that prevents them from sending the item back to you. And this trend is on the rise.

A double refund chargeback is when a cardholder requests a merchant for a refund and initiates a chargeback for the same transaction. To avoid a chargeback, the merchant issues a refund, unaware that the cardholder intends to or already has filed a dispute. As a result, the cardholder gets their money back twice.
