Returning Formula to Walmart w/o receipt?

alicat108

Hi,

 

Has anyone returned formula to Walmart without a receipt?  My son has an intolerance to the formula now and I have 5 containers to return?  Is there a limit to what can be returned without a receipt?han

 

Thanks!

I don't know if special rules apply for formula, but I imagine it would be like returning anything else without a receipt, you wouldn't get $$ back, but store credit.

The customer service just gave me conflicting information,  At first they said yes as long as unopened.  Then I said I had 5 containers (all are unopened and expire in 2013) and then a manager said no final sale.  That is odd.....they just conflicted with their own policy.  Not going to buy from them again.

I'd e-mail customer service on their website, when they reply, print it and bring it to the store with you.

It sounds on their website like "perishable" items need to be "pre-authorized" with why you are returning them.  That may be your issue.

You can also only do 3 no-receipt returns every 45 days, so that may be part of the issue too.

You could also try selling it on craigslist or the swap spot although I've had no luck swapping our nutramigen for soy.

Thanks for the tips!  Will try Craigslist and look into the webpage.

This as long as its not expired (or near expired) also-- I do now you can only mae 4 non-receipted returns in a year (they'll enter your drivers license # so you cant just go to a diifferent store) so I'd return them all at once. We stocked up on size NB and way too many 1s...so we took lie 10 packages back and it only counted as 1 transaction, but had we tried to return 1 package at a time we wouldn't have been able to return more than 4 if that maes sense...

I've heard other people say they won't do it because of WIC. Women would be able to abuse the system by returning their formula without a receipt. Just what I've heard.

I've taken some back a few times, they'll take anything. You'll just get store credit instead of cash.

They will not take formula back without a receipt. I tried to echange mine today because the can was half opened and I did not know when I bought it. All Iwanted to do was trade it for a new can and they would NOT let me. It was even their Parents Choice brand formula.
