What Redditors Are Saying
Why does meijer have such a generous return policy?
I don’t actually know what their official policies are, but I’ve been able to return/replace just about anything/everything (minus alcohol cuz it’s illegal) with no questions asked. I’ve never been denied a replacement or a return. Examples: -bought a water filter 8 months ago, handle came off. I go
Bought 3 Marnie boxes from Meijer and opened one box and every pack was like this. They were all resealed. Without codes too. Luckily returned for a refund. Scumbags.
Can I return a bike I bought a year ago from meijer for an exchange?
I bought a bicycle for my son at meijer and found the receipt through Mperks. The bike is literally falling apart and he’s only used it for one summer. I was wondering how ridiculous it would be if I tried to exchange it for a new one.
Am I able to return items in store to Meijer that I purchased through DoorDash?
Since DoorDash doesn’t provide a physical receipt, will I be able to return the items back to Meijer to get a refund? Is the digital in app receipt considered valid to prove the purchases? (Items are unopened, I bought 2 blankets because my cousin and her 2 toddlers spent the night at my house).
