Our process
How we keep every policy accurate.
We read the store's own policy
Every guide starts at the source - we pull the rules straight from the retailer's official return policy and terms, not from recycled roundups.
We check every detail
Return windows, receipt and condition rules, restocking and shipping fees, and the exceptions stores bury in the fine print - we confirm each one.
We date-stamp and re-verify
Every guide shows a "Last verified" date and is refreshed on a cadence - so when a store changes its rules, the page changes too.
Why readers trust us
Independence is the whole point.
Independent
No store pays to soften what we report. We're reader-supported, not sponsored by retailers or manufacturers - so every guide tells you what the policy really says.
Checked against the source
Every policy is traced back to the retailer's own official terms - not recycled from other roundups. If we can't confirm it at the source, it doesn't go in.
Dated and kept current
Every guide carries a visible last-verified date and is refreshed when stores change their rules. You always know how fresh the policy you're reading is.
