DH3256, like I said, it depends on state law. California for instance doesn't require stores to accept returns but if that store doesn't accept returns the store is required to clearly display that information. If they violate that law, you get 30 days to return it with receipt, by law. I wouldn't claim to know the consumer laws in all 50 states.

"In California, retailers that won’t give a full refund or credit, allow an equal exchange, or any combination of these options, within seven days of purchase when goods are returned with a receipt, must clearly display their policy at each cash register and sales counter, or at each public entrance, or on tags attached to each item sold under the policy, or on the retail seller’s order forms, if any
This requirement does not apply to perishable items (like food or plants), items that are marked as final sale, goods used or damaged after purchase, custom orders, goods not returned with their original packaging, and items that can’t be resold for health reasons.
If a store violates this law (California Civil Code section 1723) by not clearly displaying their limited or no return policy, you can return the purchased item with proof of purchase for a full refund within 30 days. You can notify the consumer protection division of your local district attorney’s office of any violations, or file a complaint with our office using our online complaint form."
I believe, in CA, if a store accepts returns, you have the receipt, are within 7 days of having purchased it and the product is unopened that they have to take it back. It has been a LONG WHILE since I looked into that so I might be remembering wrong though.
The point is, know the laws in your state and understand your rights there in.
