Returning items can be a chore at some places. Many stores require a receipt for a return to occur, some have time restrictions on item returns, and others require a reason or explanation why you're returning the item. It can be exhausting and complicated. This isn't the case with all retailers, but some have very strict return policies, and it can be tough to return items if you aren't able to jump through all of the required hoops.

Popular Retailer in MA, CT, and NY Has a Generous Return Policy

While some retailers can make the return policy difficult, it's been said that Costco's return policy is very generous. The Street notes that with few exceptions, customers can bring back any item at any time for a refund, even if it’s been months since the date of purchase.

Costco's website states that products purchased at a Costco location need to be returned at the returns counter at any Costco warehouse. Items ordered online can be returned at any Costco warehouse, or you can initiate a return through Costco.com. That covers all bases for convenience.  Accepted payment methods differ online and in the warehouse.
