Just so you know, once the receipt expires, it is as if it never even existed as far as Target is concerned. There is no one, I repeat NO ONE in the store that can override this is anyway. It does not matter if the store still sells it at the exact same price the day after your receipt expires, for all intents and purposes you have NO receipt! If the item is under $35, you can do a no receipt return (which I know you do not qualify for this) but you can only do this twice per year, and you will get the lowest sale price for that item in the last 90 days. Next time, check the box before you buy it. I have a mac, and that is the first thing I check on anything computer related. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort.

It is not the store's fault that you bought a camera that wasn't compatible with your daughter's computer. It is not the store's fault that your daughter didn't notice that it wasn't compatible with her computer or that she waited so long to use it. It is not the store's fault that you tried to return it three weeks after the return period expired. By the way, 90 days is a very long return period. I frequently order from a camera store in New York City. I can't mention their name here but this store is among the largest shop aimed at professional photographers and they only have a 15 day return policy.

You bought a video camera and waited not just a day or two past the 90 days, but 3 weeks past to return the camera. The first thing you should do is look at other major store's return policy you may be surprised how short they are Return Policy for Video Camera's Target - 90 Days BB - 14 Days WM - 30 Days Perhaps you will need more red paint... Target has one of the most generous policies for returns as long as you stay within their policy. Unless you paid cash you don't even need your receipt, they can look it up(just try that at WM). If you don't like their policy then don't shop there. This was purchased pretty close to Christmas so the 90 days would have been about Mid-March. Are you really saying that in the 2.5 months no one "took a closer look" at the packaging realizing it wouldn't work? Of course you are looking for them to make an exception. Unfortunatly you can thank lawyers and the lawsuit happy people out there. Because if they made an exception for you, and not someone else. You can bet if that person had the right mindset they would be down at the courthouse filing a multi-million dollar lawsuit for discrimination in the blink of an eye.
