This just shows off your greed! Plus the price of the sweater? You will be laughed out of any courtroom! The boutique owner made an effort to work with you, despite its store policy. Suck it up, sell the sweater on ebay and tell hubby to get you a gift certificate next time.

Hey Bob, why does the owner even have a return policy? If they are going to lose money on the return, what difference does it make if the return is made within the 5 days? Anyway, this is part of the cost of doing business. As a side note I think paying 240 dollars for a sweater is ridiculous. That someone would be willing to pay that much for a piece of fabric should have been good warning of things to come. You can find nice sweaters at goodwill for 3 dollars.

Bob the rebuttal man should state what his relationship with this store is. How does he define "late in the season"? Is a 5 day return policy really fair or the norm for retailers other than the big box stores? Given the current economic climate, retailers must be more sensitive to their customers' needs and wishes. I've been in a similar situation and know that those clothes are marked up 50-100% to begin with.

It is unfortunate that circumstances prevented you from returning the sweater within the store's return period as stated on your receipt.Certainly, a family crisis will take priority over returning a sweater. You must also consider the store's position. If seasonal apparel is returned late in the season, it may not be saleable again except at a deep discount. It also might not sell at all and, especially in apparel, might not be in style the next season - a total loss to the store. Although the store had no legal obligation to do anything for you, they did try to help. Remember, this isn't a megastore chain like Walmart or Target. This loss will come right out of the owner's pocket. I'm a vigorous advocate for consumer right. In this case, it appears that the retailer made a fair offer to you. If you choose to litigate, it seems most unlikely that you'd prevail.
