Picking the right present for some of our nearest and dearest can be a tough task, so luckily many stores across the country have a return policy in place so as unwanted or unsuitable presents can be brought back to be exchanged or refunded.
We have compiled a list of some of the high street stores across the province and their return policies for this festive season.
Hopefully this helps to keep you up to date with this year’s regulations.
