if you receive a 50 that you do not want to keep, there are some important things to know. alexis smith from abc 7 mornings spoke to a consumer reports expert about the store was the best and worst policies. >> i am joined by don an rosatto a senior money editor with consumer reports. when it comes to return policies some retailers are god some not. let's start with the best. >> alm return policies are not created equal. but one of the most generous retailers we found is nordstrom. they don't even have a formal return policy thp they do a case by case basis but don't require a receipt. there is no time limit you don't have to have the original tags. costco is another one that's generous. no time limit on returns, no receipt necessary except for a few items like electronics and tires and batteries. and kohl's has what it's called a hassle free return policy. for all its purchases there is no time limit. and and if you don't have the

receipt the store can look up prior purchases. the one exception is like high-end electronics have to be returned within 30 days in the original packaging. >> those are the good ones. how about some of the retailers whose return policies aren't as great. >> yeah, some retailers aren't as generous. they are very restrictive. one of those is forever 21, the clothing retailer. you have to do returns within 30 days of purchase whether online or in the store. you have to have the performing receipt or gift receipt. if you want to do the return. and purchases -- you get a little bit more leeway if it's purchased during the holiday season. if you made the purchase by november 12th forward you have until january 7th to return it or within 30 days from whenever it was purchased. so bush bush did you they need to be unwashed abunworn. kmart is also a pretty customer. you have 30 days for returns and you need a receipt.

though -- thefr something called the shop yourway program and if you are a member you get 45 days for refund or exchange. and they do allow you to return holiday gifts through january 31st. apple is also a toughy. i guess they are so popular they can be -- they can be restrictive, giving you just 4 days to return or get a refund of your item, whether bought online or in the store. >> it's inevitable we're going to open something this year that doesn't fit, not right for us. we need to return it what are the top tips for returning the gifts? >> well when you open something if you look and say oh i don't really want it keep the original packaging. don't toss out the box. some retailers only accept it especially for electronics if it's the original packaging or you'll be charged a restocking fee. make sure you don't toss out the gift receipt with the wrapping paper. if the gift give gave you a gift receipt and you don't bring it

in a merchandiser might turn you beau if you don't have one. if you didn't get the gift receipt you could being eligible for store credit but might only be in the amount of the lowest price the item sold for recently. then finally, you know when you open it you don't like it, look at the return window. that will be on the gift receipt. and if it's not on the gift receipt and you don't have one you can look it up online. you know whether you have a generous retailer or one that's going to be stingy on returns. >> okay. those are great tips. dona rosatto from consumer reports thank you for joining us. >> announcer: now the accuweather forecast with lisa argen. good saturday morning to you. we need more rein. a little more in the forecast just 53% of normal amount in mountain view. and we have the fog behind me. that's not helping in the north bay. but it's certainly cold and we have a dry weekend for the most part before some rain moves our way very late sunday into the early morning hours of christmas
