Experts from Consumer Reports say many retailers are narrowing the window to make returns after returns from online purchases surged during the pandemic.

"When you're thinking about returning something, it's really important to keep your timeline in mind. Try to get it done within January, if possible," said Samantha Gordon, the deals editor for Consumer Reports.

Post-Christmas shoppers were on top of it.

"We don't know when the person bought the gift to us, so we are trying to do it within a certain timeframe," said Flayra Milani of Mount Laurel.

Some companies like Anthropologie and L.L. Bean are charging customers to ship in returns.

Experts say your best bet: return in person, return early, and bring your gift receipt.
