Moral dilemma over a necklace?

[Anonymous]

I would return it if this money is that important to you.

J Crew, I bet?

Feel free to return.

I do wonder how the people concerned about body oils function in life. Do they touch doorknobs?

They don't. They stand at the door waiting for someone to open it so they can slip through.

Of course I wouldn’t lie and attempt to return it again. Gift it, donate it, try it again. You don’t pick or choose your rules and lie to avoid ones you don’t like.

Where can't you return a necklace? You can return shoes you buy online that were only tried in in the house. Or clothing. That's much more intimate than a necklace,

Exactly. It is surprising to me (and a little scary) that so many people are quoting the "store policy" as if it is some kind of religious dogma. It's not! I don't like lying any more than the next person. But I ALSO do not like unreasonable return policies. Stores are owned and managed by human beings. Sometimes they right sh!t down and call it a policy. I am also a human. I can also write something down and call it a policy. What, is this a policy standoff then?

Yes, go to another one of their stores and return it. If they ask for reason for return just say I changed my mind. Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal.

All of you are proving that wealthy people are mostly selfish scammers no matter how much money they accumulate.

OP, what was it about the necklace that caused it to not sit right on your neck? If it was that uncomfortable, maybe there is something wrong with the way it’s put together.

If that is the case, the store should take it back since it is not usable for the purpose of wearing it as a necklace.

Take it back again and this time don’t disclose that you wore it or even tried it on.

Well, the entire evening it sat funny on my neck. It’s one of those necklaces with an extender chain, and no matter how I adjusted it (shorter/longer), it just wouldn’t lay right. There’s nothing technically wrong with it, it just fits weird. I ended up taking it off halfway through the event.

I kept the original packaging and brought it back to return. When they asked if anything was wrong, I explained that it didn’t sit right. They told me they couldn’t process the return because it had been worn.

I left, but now I’m annoyed. I had no way of knowing that without actually wearing it for more than 30 seconds in a dressing room.
Would you try returning it at a different location and just say you didn’t wear it? I feel weird about them putting it back on the shelf if I say it wasn’t worn, but also, it’s $45.

Curious what DCUM would do.

Yes. I don't feel compelled to follow some immoral policy just because they say so. There are two parties to the purchase and I disagree. Their "policy" is not more valid than mine.

If I had damaged it and was trying to hide that fact, that would be immoral--policy or no policy. But that's not your set of facts. You are behaving morally.

Gross! Someone will buy the necklace, and the OP wore it all evening, sweating on it, coughing on it, etc. Just cut your loss, OP. Sell it on Marketplace and be done with it.

Oh stop!

Yes, return. Less is more when speaking when returning

$45 necklaces aren't usually in the fine jewelry locked cases. People likely have been touching it, trying it on in the store. Sales people touch it. If you are that squeamish wash it at home before wearing it.

Clearly some of you have never been in the return line at Costco and it shows.
