Never Register at Target

I love Target! I could walk around that store for hours, daily. However, I've had some problems recently with baby shower items I have received. We are registered at Babies R Us and Pottery Barn Kids and I understand sometimes family and friends may not have those stores near by and shop at places closest to them. Therefore, we've gotten cute outfits and items from Target and other stores.

I'm not sure when Target changed their return policy, but they have made it very difficult to exchange items without a gift receipt or receipt. You must have a gift receipt to receive merchandise credit and the total cannot be over $20. If you do not have a receipt, you may use your ID (still cannot be over $20), but you can only do that 2 times within 365 days.

We received a cute summer outfit for our baby for 6 months. By the time she is 6 months, it will be November, so I recently tried to exchange for the 3 month size and was not allowed because I have already returned twice using my ID this year. I guess I'll have to send the outfit to a friend who can actually use it this summer.

Avoid hassle and don't register at Target or insist all gifts you receive come with a gift receipt!
