That clearly does not apply in many instances, otherwise we wouldn't have clearance sections. There are all kinds of scenarios where it's either not possible, not feasible, or just not economically viable to return products to the manufacturer.
- cnst 6y agoI'm not sure what's your point here is; but the idea is that with big B&M stores, it's still the manufacturer that is ultimately liable for the product; so, if the product doesn't sell, it's probably up to the manufacturer whether they want it back or may be interested in putting it into clearance and/or straight to the rubbish or recycling bins.
