Do you know that if you buy something from Marks and Spencers, that turns out to be the wrong size and in between time, they reduce the item and place in the sale, you only have until the date on your receipt to exchange for another size (or another item, the right size) of the same value? After the date on the receipt, even if they no longer have in stock (which is likely in this instance as they have reduced the item) you are only entitled to the sale price for a credit note? So you either need to get everything with a gift receipt as evidently it gives you longer to return (surely this makes a nonsense of their own policy stance as clearly they are not in principle against exchanging etc after the 35 days) or be sure not to buy birthday or Christmas prezzies more than the 35 days in advance (from receipt to taking back). This includes buying for your own partner, children, relatives or including anyone who is dependant on help to get to a shop (people with disabilities). People don't always think to get a gift receipt for their immediate families and of course it isn't classed as a 'gift' by the buyer ie buying ones husband a shirt. Now don't forget you are not to be tempted to buy an item, ahead of time and organised, because their new collection has arrived in store, unless you get a gift receipt, whether it is a gift or not! This is one sparks collector who is voting with their feet!
