RE: graco snug ride #8446
I think Baby Depot has the WORST return policy I have ever seen in a retail store. Here is the policy as printed on the bottom of a receipt from there 2 days ago:
"We will gladly exchange merchandise in new condition, accompanied by ticket and receipt, within 14 days. In store credit only, no cash refunds or charge card credits."
A friend told me you can sometimes argue your way around it by playing the "but it was a gift and I don't have the receipt" game. I NEVER buy big ticket items there unless I am POSITIVE it is what I want. Check very carefully. I almost bought my Graco Snugride carseat there (because I liked the patterns there better than at BRU :-) ), but fortunately I noticed in time that it was a 3 point, not a 5 point harness. I would have been so upset. This was nearly a year ago, but carefully inspect the item to ensure that every feature of the product is EXACTLY what you want. Don't just assume that it is the same as what you saw elsewhere just because it is the same manufacturer and model name. Strange but true. As the Fields point out in their book, the big baby stuff manufacturers sometimes make products in a certain configuration for a particular manufacturer.
All that being said, I love a lot of the stuff they have there. And the one near me has a fabulous clearance section.
