The Holiday shopping season is in full swing. With all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals available out there, it can be easy to get carried away and left with items you don't want or need.
Before you start your Black Friday and holiday shopping, make sure you're aware of all of the return policies for the nation's biggest brands. Black Friday is 26 days before Christmas, so for outlets without extended holiday return policies, gift receivers might only have a few days to make returns. Some items, like door busters, may have special restrictions on returns. Promocodes.com has rounded up many store return policies, so consumers won't be stuck with unwanted gifts.
Here are some return policies for popular stores with Black Friday deals:
