So I grabbed a few Blu-Ray sets from Amazon during their Black Friday sale for Christmas gifts, only to find out that others in my family had the same idea. I've got season 1 of both Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire, unbroken seal with no tags of any kind on them. Would a place like Walmart accept a return for store credit with no receipt?
Wow, this is the first, I want to lie to someone and screw them over and need advice on how to do it thread that I've seen here.
So
I've seen vagina floppiness threads.
The Wannamaker thread
And this
Take me lord, I've seen everything I want to see
Hey why don't you go and shoplift some stuff at Sears and return it claiming to have lost the receipt but you'd like the refund in cash please. That used to work if you got the disinterested employee.
And then go to Canadian tire and switch bar codes from a less expensive item to a really expensive item, that used to work too, my old man got $300.00 off of a VCR once by switching tags. When I told him that it was pretty sh%tty he growled that if the employees were too lazy to verify then frack em.

That's no better than shoplifting dude.
The SKUs might not even match if you have American sets without French on them so their system might not even accept them.
Use Kijiji.

Answered my own question. I'm not trying to swindle anyone, I'm simply looking for store credit for an item that they can slap a tag on and put on the shelf

Walmart's No Receipt policy applies to items returned in a store only. When you return an item without a receipt, you have the option of receiving a cash refund (for purchases under $25), a Gift Card for the amount of the purchase (for purchases over $25) or making an even exchange for the product. We also follow any manufacturer's warranties.

You are taking full-value MSRP credit in return for a business to take items into inventory that they did not originally purchase.
You are swindling them, even if it is big bad Wal-Mart.
Why not just sell them legitimately yourself? Like I said, you might get caught for trying to return product that they don't even have in their system since American SKUs won't match Canadian ones for many products. Do you really need that embarrassment?

Walmart for sure, no harm in trying if its a legit item they sell and the SKUs, etc, are the same. (They're basically just buying additional inventory @ the lowest sale price instead of at normal cost). But beware, intentional swindling invokes bad ju-ju for the new year.
You'll probably get just as much back by returning to Amazon, no?

This is known as cross-retailer return fraud or price arbitrage fraud if there is a difference between the purchase price and the refund price.
The problem has historically caused retailers to raise prices for shoppers in order to offset the losses incurred from fraudulent returns. Alternatively, many stores have created stricter return policies such as “no receipt, no return” or imposed return time restrictions such as a 30-day limit on all returns that impact all shoppers.
Everybody that thinks like you hurts the rest of us.

Exactly. What did you pay for these sets on Black Friday, $20 or $25 each? Walmart has the GOT Season 1 BlueRay for $55 and BE for $65. So, you're not trying to rip anyone off, but you'll conveniently pocket maybe $50 or $60 extra on your purchase?
It's not theft, but it is certainly fraud. How about instead, you deal with this like an adult and either eat the return fee or sell on Kijiji, as opposed to a punk. Or perhaps try and salvage some karma from the situation. Donate the discs to a shelter, or old folks home. They'd be glad to have them.
I'm just stunned that someone could post this and expect any kind of response other that you're getting.
While I certainly don't think it's right to try to return items like this (by potentially ripping off a different supplier), the outrage on Wal-Marts behalf is hilarious.

It's outrage on anyone's behalf that ends up getting screwed over by this guy or anyone else that does this crap.

Even if you only get a sale price back you are forcing Walmart to take on inventory they make no profit from or perhaps will even have to clear out a a lower price in the future. Walmarts overall profit margin is fairly low so not making profit on a sale is akin to them losing money even if they sell them for more then they refund your money for.
Definately fraud.
If you want to do this ethically, walk into to Walmart, tell them you bought them at Amazon and would like to return them to Walmart. When they object say its no big deal you can just resell them anyway.
Best place to return something withou a receipt
