I've made several returns to Overstock. Perhaps what they're trying to avoid is the practice that some people have of buying clothing for an event and then returning it afterwards. I've noticed that lots of stores now require tags to be intact in order to get a refund on evening wear, for example. As long as you're careful when trying on the item, returning it shouldn't be a problem. We don't have carpet or area rugs, so I made sure that dh placed a bath mat by his chair when he tried on a pair of shoes so that the soles wouldn't get scuffed. My only warning is to be sure to get a tracking number for the return so that you'll be able to follow up. Twice, Overstock has failed to credit me (after delivery back to them was confirmed) until after I called them. The last time, the CSR even said that they hadn't received the package and was surprised when I could state the exact time it had arrived at their facility more than a week earlier.

I really sense a couple of different questions. First, if the question is whether it's "tacky" or something to return bad produce, I say return it and don't feel bad about it. Most stores have a legitimate policy of customer satisfaction (within reason) and if you're unhappy with it, sure, return it. There's nothing wrong with doing a return. Especially at $2/#. Same for deli items or other items. I have a limit of $1.29/# for grapes. Just one of those things with me! :) They'd have to be exceptional to go above that. It's just one of those quirks. But now comes the flip side of the coin, being the point of practicality. I've bought grapes without trying them and same thing, got a bad batch a couple of times. First, it was seeded instead of seedless. I didn't pay attention so I didn't think about returning them. Second time they were just plain awful. Now the catch. It's not convenient to run back to the store to return a couple dollars worth of items and the principle just wasn't that big a deal with me. For me to return to a store would cost just in gas nearly the amount paid. So in my case the birds benefited (who were very happy) and I learned to test them before buying them. I am running about 50/50 on whether I'll buy them or not after a sample. If it were convenient and close and I had the time and received bad product, I'd return it. FWIW, my cousin brought up an issue. He bought some generic French Fried Onions and they were rancid. Obviously they were old. Since his hobby is grocery shopping I said I'd take it back if I were him. He did, and they had no problem with it. Most stores will bend over backward (again, within reason) to satisfy a customer, especially when it's a bad product issue. Now comes another issue: I do not approve of grazing but I feel justified in testing them. Course, they're not washed so I take a certain chance with that and even with other items you don't really know whether it's good or not, for instance, melon, radishes, onions and the like. I would have a problem seeing someone cut open a melon to test or grazing away at the other produce! For me, it's come down to the store itself. If they generally have good stuff, occasionally they can get a bad one or batch. And I avoid buying at places with consistently substandard product.

I have returned SEVERAL washers & dryers to Sears. While a little labor intensive they do not say No and you get a full credit. If you paid for delivery, usually $50-60...that is not credited. Pickup is free however.

This is not a houzz help desk. You would have to ask the retailer what return policy is. However, as a practical matter, it would be costly and a PITA to ship a vanity back. If color is critical to you, go into a kitchen/bath store and buy exactly what you want there.
