I posted yesterday about my Calphalon pans. I had a non stick set from there that we got almost 6 years ago for our wedding - but the non stick stuff was flaking. I had a 10 year warranty according to the paperwork that came with it. Figured it was worth asking at BBB (where we got them). They returned them all! AND I got a brand new non stick set (Calphalon brand) and only paid $20! So pumped!
Re: love. Love. LOVE Bed Bath and Beyond! awesome return!
I worked at BBB throughout high school - we took returns regardless of how old it was, what kind of shape it was in, if you had the receipt/paperwork, our rule was as long as one of us could identify it and give it a UPC, we took it. It seemed so crazy to me at the time, but now I really appreciate it! My mom did the same with a super expensive set of Calphalon and ended up with well over $400 in store credit - it was pretty awesome! I would definitely suggest at least trying to return or exchange it - what have you got to lose?
