I was nice and explained that the "corp office' said the program was over, but I may want to call around and check w/ my local stores.

The customer service representative explained to me that they would only be honoring this "bottle return/exchange" practice until 8/10/2008 when their return policy will change. After August 10th, all returns need to be in their original packaging.<BR/><BR/>They gave me a credit based on the current price of the bottles. In the same transaction, I immediately used the credit to buy Avent's new BPA-free bottles.[Avent came out with their new Avent BPA-free bottles today (8/1/08).]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-15418871604510080562008-07-28T20:50:00.000-07:002008-07-28T20:50:00.000-07:00My Babies "R" Us location wouldn't take them back ...My Babies "R" Us location wouldn't take them back because I didn't have a receipt.
