a very good thursday morning to you. a live look outside. this is the san mateo bridge. folks up and about already on your thursday morning. a good looking day in the forecast. we'll check in with kari coming up in just moments. 4:55 right now. nbc bay area responds to a newark family that purchased shoes at one store but they were told to return them to another store. >> chris chmura stepped in to figure out why. good morning. dan's wife bought a pair of shoes on sears.com. after trying them on, she realized they didn't fit. so she went to the return line at sears, and she said she was told instead to return the shoes to the nearest k-mart store, 12 miles and as much as an hour away depending on how badly 880 is backed up. it's true k-mart is owned by the same store but she was baffled she couldn't return a sears.com purchase to a sears store.

so they turned to us for help. we scratched our heads and then we reached out to sears for comment. in a statement the company said the store should have allowed the return and the situation might have been just a training issue. all right. so she should have been able to return those shoes to the sears store. they said sears.com purchases can be returned to sears. in the end, it ended up refunding the $32 and allowed them to keep the ill-fitting shoes. if you have a consumer complaint please call us 888-996-tips or log on to nbcbayarea.com/responds. right now i want to you listen to this next story. it gives snail mail a whole new meaning. a mexico family -- this is in mexico -- a tiger cub popped out after package. >> a tiger cup. someone tried to ship a tiger cub about 200 miles.
