Wilson s Department Store Black Friday 2011
Always look at the return policy before you buy, Arroz says. Stores that accept returns may do so for store credit only and you must make those returns at the outlet and not the regular store. Online, you may have to pay for return shipping. At JC Penney, for example, items from the online outlet must be returned within 30 days.

Retailers and designers have scaled back inventory amid slow sales, which leaves less overstock to send to discounters such as TJ Maxx.
