Mailing gifts/returning items

[planet planet]

Is there a bigger pain in the butt? I hate errands in general, but I especially hate packaging crap up to mail and/or returning online items you've bought. Every store has a different return policy and do you get the amount credited in your account when they receive it? Do you get store credit? Is my reason for returning it good enough? So many variables, such a time sucker.

Lame rant. You are as bad as rants as me.

I will never have to rant about this. Mailing and returning are the exclusive domain of Mrs. Rad.

This is not a lame rant! There are people on this board that feel the same pain as me. I guarantee it.

My wife does this, but we sent her nephew a gift and the GD thing cost more to ship than the present was itself.

I hate returning items...it almost comes to a point of the value of the item and if it's worth my time to return it.

Well hey Planet, from the looks of this thread and so many others on here I think everyone (including you and me) should have a wife. Seems like they must be great to have to do all the scut work.

The wife takes care of ours too.

Hmm, maybe I should start thinking about marriage for this very reason.

I've found that if you get into the customer service line and you are carrying an item to return but not wearing any pants, they tend to put you right to the front of the line.
