Is it cheeky to take a jacket back (unworn) and rebuy it with a money off voucher?

I will go with the majority on this one. Be kind please...

No YANBU I would definitely do it.

In the same transaction or would you walk round the shop and put your sunglasses on in between

I would absolutely 100% do that

I wouldn't quite have the cojones to do it in the same transaction, but I'd certainly have a walk around & go back to buy it again, flourishing my voucher. I'd be hoping for a different sales assistant at the till.

I’d do it in the same transaction

Definitely cheeky but I'd probably do it

Thank you all :o. It is on! All in the name of £5 off

Do it! I know different stores have different rules on these things but I’m in retail and we would allow this. No harm in trying, just be friendly and polite is all I would advise.

Folk used to do this loads when I was in Retail ....just be upfront about it , we know what you're doing (although bear in mind they don't have to refund you unless it's faulty ....but most places do these days )

Thank you :)

I would definitely do this!

I've done it where I bought a coat online from debenhams, it arrived and then had an email for a discount or sale (I can't remember which) so I returned the original and then bought it again in store. Bit of a faff but I saved a decent amount. I would totally return and then use a money off voucher but not in the same transaction!

For £5 no I wouldn't...

Not because I would be embarrassed but time is money to - The hassle of going the the shop to do this wouldn't be worth it.

I am going anyway, and I won't be going back any time soon which is why I want to do it in the same transaction

I did this once. I’d do it again but would probably order the alternative online if the voucher let me.

And I happened to find the receipt which is unusual for me

You are perfectly within your rights to do so. Whistles put £39 back in my account in their last 20% promo. Makes me an even better customer as I’ll likely take that £39 plus more back. The only time Ive ever had trouble was in M&S.

Oh :( guess where I'm going

I did something similar with a bikini that I had bought and not worn (still had labels on). Went back to the shop and it was reduced. Bought it at reduced price and took the original one back (the reduced ones have the red spot on).

I did a similar thing in Go outdoors as they reduced some walking boots I had just brought. I explained to the lady on the till what I was doing and she refunded the difference without hesitation.

Do it.

Yes buy the cheaper one first to make sure you have it and it fits, M&S stuff can vary a bit and then return the more expensive, I often do this.

In the same transaction, no point in faffing

I don't think this is especially cheeky. If it's worth your time and you feel fine about it, I can't see a problem really.

Of course, who wouldn’t? But definitely buy the alternative first and make sure it fits.
