staples return policy

I bought some electronics and accidentally tore through the plastic bag - will Staples take it back? It says in original condition - can I argue :(

I guess it depends on how "accidentally" the bag is torn. Generally speaking though I think you're fine.

Of course, it should be noted that since under the terms of consumer legislation in many (most?) jurisdictions, there is no right of return for any merchandise, especially if you simply change your mind. There are coverages for defective merchandise or for items not fit for their intended purpose, of course. Therefore, you can't really argue anything. If Staples says "original condition" means in the same condition it had been sold to you, then you're out of luck.

Think of the Childre…
Plastic bag that they charge 5 cent each? Or plastic bag that wraps around the electronic device?

Original condition generally refers to the product, not the packaging. They do not say that it cannot be opened.

go soon, most retailers still are in the more 'relaxed' mode regarding refunds 'cause it is so close to past Christmas.
