Here are some tips to make sure your returns are quick and easy:
First, make sure you check the company's return policy and deadline for returns. You may be eligible for returns with free shipping.
According to the National Retail Federation, more than a third of retailers offer free shipping on returns.
For the most part, if you have a receipt or purchased with a debit or credit card, you'll receive a full refund. Some stores offer store credit.
At Target, if you have a receipt, items can be returned within one year. Unopened items in new condition may be returned within 90 days.
Most items sold at Toys "R" Us qualify for a 90-day return period. But items like cameras and video game hardware must be returned within 30 days.
Walmart's policy varies depending on the item. Some fall under a 15-day return window, while other items can be returned within 30 days.

You can expect major markdowns on bedding, electronics and exercise equipment.
