I recently wrote about some returns I have to make. It's not the first time that I've bought something online that didn't meet my expectations when I got them and usually when I make returns I do not have to pay postage and usually when I buy it's on sites by Walmart, Target, Kmart or Sears. So far I've only had to make returns on 2 sites, first was Walmart, they weren't a problem and 2nd was Kmart, they weren't a problem either. Not so with Blair, they do NOT have a free return policy, so now I'm out the postage. They will charge me $9.99 if I use their label to make returns so I'm going to USPS tomorrow to see if they're cheaper, I feel like they ripped me off but at least now I know better. Never buy from Blair. Do you have to pay for returns? Does Amazon charge for returns? OH, that's my sweet Gracie using sweet Sophie as a pillow, I'll never forget them.

I have not shopped from Blair, but so far all my online purchases which I end up returning always come with their own return label and postage free of charge. I am very particular about return policies and that is the first thing that I look for whenever I am shopping online on a new store. Thanks for the head's up about Blair.

I should have thought of that before I bought the stuff so to me this is simply a learning curb. You're welcome.

Can be quite unsettling when not receiving the proper treatment from businesses. Hopefully all will work out and there will be no more returns or at least any returns which offer any stress. Walmart a great to shop on and offline. Blessings.

It just ticks me off that all those years ago mom shopped Blair and was quite happy with what she go plus she never had a problem with returns. But they want to charge me $10 for shipping and handling.

Beautiful dogs. I rarely return anything as I'm a persnickety shopper and take forever to decide. Amazon was great though the one time I got a faulty item.

I do a lot but not so much clothes. Usually I stick with Walmart, Kmart and Target but like a fool I thought that because mom always bought from Blair and got good stuff that I could as well. I never asked if they charged a return fee though.

Sweet photo No Amazon doesn't charge that I know of..its always a very simple process..if anyone else knows different maybe but I had never paid for a return there either. That is a rip off at Blair alright..sorry this happened to you Rebel.

Thanks, they were adorable and I had to work so I didn't get to spend the kind of time with them that I wanted. Yeah, they'll never get another order from me.

I've always associated Blair with junk mail, never bought anything from them, but fun to look through once in awhile

You're smart. Mom used to buy from them all the time and got some nice stuff back then, I was following the leader .... dumb move.

I've had 3 so far in the past 4 years, not too bad really considering that most of the time what I order actually fits.

Yes, I spoke to their customer service twice and they sounded like they were reading a script @Shavkat I'll never buy from them again but now that I have those pants I'll keep them and maybe I'll actually lose a little weight and be able to wear them, I do like the fabric.

What a lovely photo. I wouldn't use a firm that didn't have a 'free returns' policy.

First, that photo is contest worthy! So precious!!!!! Second, I rarely shop online, especially for clothes. I have a need to feel the fabrics. If I do, I only buy from Saks. I get free shipping and free returns on anything.

I wish I didn't have to but size 20 seems to be out of stock everytime I try to shop and sometimes even online, I'm guessing lottsa baby boomers are about the same size I am.

@rebelann It's a pain not to be able to get something you love in your size.

I won't have to anymore, it's the last time I buy from them and from now on I'm reading the returns policy first.

It is rare that it happens to me, I'm just ticked off that Blair is so damn stupid. Shouldn't size 20 petite be the same size as 20 woman's except for the length?
