Hear ye, hear ye, today is the final day!

I had made a mental note about today being the final opportunity to return things without a receipt, but I don't think I have the time (or energy) to make it in before closing tonight.

Thanks for the reminders.

I got rid of a few unopened dupes. I need to get serious about putting my collection into DVDspot, as I end up buying dupes at least once a week it seems.

Phew. Never have to walk into an overpriced Borders ever again. After picking and choosing who got their 70/80% off order's I am officially done with Borders.

You can not blame them for not honoring glitches. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.

I agree that they are insanely overpriced. I only buy there when I have a 40% off coupon, and even then you have to be choosy.

I thought Borders enabled you to get a Denon receiver.:D

It was no biggie for me. I was not too hurt by it. But to honor some (that came after I placed my order) is just picking and choosing. And I chose to drop them.

Then again, I only went their to return sealed DVDs so...no loss for them I suppose :)

Now I go in their to browse what future books to buy for my future birthday gift (shhh...girlfriend bought it for me), Kindle.

Thanks Sweet Baby James - you killed Borders! (Or will very soon)

Man...gonna miss reading magazines for free.


In good times, it's a bit easier for an ailing business to mask its problem areas. But in economic crises, the weak are finally winnowed out. Based on several vital metrics, I've accumulated a list of companies unlikely to make it through this holiday season.

There's more red to Circuit City than the color of its storefront. The retailer was suffering even when the economy was chugging along, as consumers looked elsewhere for deals on electronics. And Borders may be working on paying down its debt, but with a quick ratio of just 0.1, this is one heck of a risky investment. A quick ratio beneath 1.0 can serve as a major warning flag, particularly if a company's sales and profit margins are suffering and its inventories may have to go on clearance sale.

I have some gifts without receipts that I want to bring back to Borders for store credit. You are saying that they will not take it at 30% off...meaning it is back to 100% of retail?

They won't take it, period. As of September 21, you must have a receipt to do a return. They will sometimes make an exception, but you'll probably have to cause a scene and demand to speak to the manager for them to give you a gift card.

Anyone return a Christmas gift at Borders without a receipt this year/season?

I don't think anyone buys at Borders anymore and since they have cleared out their DVD inventory, I imagine it's harder to return stuff to the store.
