When Return Policies Are Pushed Too Far

Costco customers reveal the craziest items they've seen returned.

If you haven’t noticed, many stores have a pretty lenient return policy, and Costco is no exception. Compared to other big-box retailers, Costco’s return policy isn’t clear on when items should be returned and what condition they need to be in. Naturally, customers are taking advantage of this and sharing the wildest returns they’ve seen on social media. Some of them include: a dead Christmas tree, a five-year-old mattress, an empty box, both opened and unopened food, and even a used bidet! Despite these unusual returns, Costco proudly stands by its policy, saying it fosters good relations between the store and its customers.
