Outdoor retailer REI was known as "Rental Equipment Inc." for years because of its lax return policy.



"There’s the mom who returned a stroller for no other reason than her children simply had outgrown it," writes Amy Martinez at The Seattle Times. "Or the dad who took back an old bike rack because it clashed with his new car."



Recently, REI announced it would curb its return policy to products purchased within one year. But plenty of other retailers will let you return anything, any time, and for any reason.



Here are 10 retailers with ridiculously relaxed return policies.



1. Anthropologie



"All Anthropologie merchandise is unconditionally guaranteed," the retailer writes on its website. Anthropologie doesn't impose any time limits or stipulations.

2. Athleta



The Gap-owned retailer will take back any item, for any reason, at any time. This could give it an advantage over competitor Lululemon, which is notoriously stringent with returns.

Every product can be returned to Costco warehouses for any reason. The only time restrictions are for electronics, which must be returned within 90 days.
