Borders To Revise Return Policy - Summer 2008?
Starting this summer Borders will be changing their returns policy so that those without a receipt will not be accepted at the discounted rate of 30% off retail - previously these returns were accepted for 100% of retail is it was an item currently stocked by that specific store.

What? I can't make sense of what was said by the OP? Receiptless returns will soon only be worth 70% of MSRP instead of 100%? Wasn't their current policy to refund the sale price of an item if it had been on sale in the past 30(?) days?

Yeah, the items presented for return must be currently stocked by that specific store after which a store credit will be issued reflecting 30% off MSRP.

ETA : Oh, will NOW be, right ? I was confused at first.
ETA again : If you're going to edit your post to correct that be sure to correct the last sentence. I'm sure you meant IF not IS.

Will it be 30% off retail even if it sold for less at some point in the past? I'm not talking about things like the 40%-off coupon, but for those special price sales like Pan's Labyrinth: SE for $8.99 (pre-Thanksgiving sale).

Just got back from Borders and they said that if you return something without a receipt it will be 30% off the lowest price in the past year. Also it looks like this will start in about a week. At least thats what the cashier said.

They've had some really liberal return policies. I had did a buy 2 get 1 free and planned on returning all 3 and the cashier told me to keep the free one. That happened twice.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make my return because my local Borders doesn't currently have the items in stock. Once they do, I'll make the return and update my findings in this thread.
