It really depends how much I spent on it. Sometimes if I am unsure about a purchase I buy it, don't take the tags off (or out of package) and give it a week to think about. Then if I am still unsure, I will return it because clearly I wasn't excited enough to use it. (If that makes sense)

It just depends. If I've bought it online, sometimes I can get a refund without having to send the product back, since it's no good.

To me it depends on just how much the product cost.  If it was under $20, sometimes I would bother to return it and sometimes just throw it out and take the loss but, if it was more than that - definitely TAKE IT BACK!!!!

It depends. I almost always return defective products, but if the store is too far away and the amount is small, it's sometimes not worth the gas costs.

southernhorizons said it just as would.  Sometimes you just take the loss because it isn't worth the cost to return/exchange it.

I sometime keep it if I buy it online and I have to pay for the return. Sometimes it's not worth sending it back. If I buy it at a local store I do return it if I can.

If the item is broken or does not work I take it back. I never scream and or rant at the employee. having worked in retail for 15 years  I find being very polite with the employee will usually get the problem resolved. I know how it worked for me at the store. Besides it is rarely the employees fault that something was not right. I keep all tickets  for awhile incase I have to return it for awhile and then pitch them. I f you do not have a receipt for it you normally will only get the sales price back on it. Store policy.

I always, always return a product to the store I purchased it from if I'm having any problems whatsoever. In fact last year, I purchased some horse chestnuts that were imported from Italy, and Walmart were selling them. I'd never had them before and I remember my father telling me he'd had some as a boy, and they were a real treat! So I purchased two boxes and when I got them home, they were filled with mold. I took them right back to the store and Walmart gave me a 100% refund, no questions asked.

I do it all the time when I have home improvement, sometime it is not a right product, why keep it? return it and get the right one you need.

If I used the product more than a month after purchase I usually keep it. If I don't like the product after one week, I return it.

My husband will call companies/manufacturers and demand returns, lol. He is good at it. I tend to not be a returner, but i don't buy a lot either.
