Today I got this minecraft creeper thing at target, turns out the product was defective when I got it. I took it out of the box to display it on my desk, and its head came right off. Not where i can put it back on, but where its broken Completely. It had 3 arms instead of 4, i couldnt see it until i took it out of the package. This is bs. Complete bs. I lost the receipt too. Faaantastic. -__- Ever had something like that?
If it has a defect, I think you can take it back without a receipt. Not sure about this though.. you can surely try.
If you asked and they declined, why didn't you ask them why they wouldn't give you one? if they refuse, then that means they don't want you to return it which means something is defective so you shouln't buy it ._.
