Any B&M stores doing a Sigg Exchange?

According to Siggs website some brick & mortar stores may be handling their own exchange programs. Does anyone know what stores could be doing this? It seems a lot easier than filling out forms.

I brought in my eight Sigg bottles (I kept the tops) to Whole Foods today and they gave me a refund, no receipt required. They must be getting a lot back because they had a sign at customer service listing all the prices of the different bottle sizes. I got the full purchase price back as a gift card! So happy because I have read that the new Sigg liner tends to chip/flake off easily so I want to switch to stainless steel (probably Klean Kanteen). They didn't have many water bottles in stock, a few Siggs and a few generic steel bottles. So I used the gift card for groceries instead. Yay Whole Foods!

That's great! I'm going to try doing this as well.

In Vancouver, a little store in Kitsilano, which has a wide selection of SIGG Bottles is accepting the old SIGG bottles with the old liners for Exchange for a new SIGG Bottle. They have a great selection of Kids bottles in the 0.3L and 0.4L. Plus all of the adult oriented bottles. They do not call this a SIGG Recall but a SIGG Voluntary Exchange.

The staff know very well the designs and any concerns you may have. So just ask. They are very friendly and they want to help anyone who has concerns about SIGG Bottles.

It is a direct exchange. Size for Size. It is valid until October.31.09. They request that you BYOBag.

They are located at 2028 Vine Street just off of 4th Avenue. 604.879.9135

Goldenpig, thanks for the heads-up on WF doing SIGG refunds. DH took our SIGGs to WF last evening and got $20 store credit per bottle for the little kid sized ones! DD is happy with her new Kleen Kanteens which he bought for her at WF with the gift cards. I'm impressed with Whole Foods on this one!
