Q: Does Florida have a law requiring stores to accept returns?
Not for most purchases. Florida doesn't have a general law that forces retailers to take back non-defective items. Unless the item is defective or not as described, the store’s own return policy is what applies. So it's worth checking that policy before you buy.
Q: What should I do if a store refuses to honor its posted return policy?
First, ask to speak with a manager and point out the posted policy. If that fails, you can file a complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. They handle consumer complaints and can help mediate.
Q: Can I expect to get a full refund for a returned T-shirt?
Not always. Many stores deduct restocking fees or shipping costs from your refund. The policy should state this clearly. If it doesn't, ask before you order.
