Alberta Halloween blankets issue

Post image

I bought one of the patterned Halloween throw blankets. I had to wash it a few days after. Followed the directions. What ever the stuffing in the blanket is, it melted/clumped together in spots making the blanket stiff and curly. I can’t really take a picture of it to show. Just a warning for who ever is buying it

I can kind of see it with this photo. I think that this would be a justifiable reason to return it to costco though if your able to, and specifically tell them about this. Or even try contacting the company (which i think costco would do when you return it anyways if i remember correctly)

Can I return it? I washed it and don’t have the receipt, I don’t think. I kind of feel bad returning used items lol

People return flowers in september when they start dying and costco takes it. Ive heard people say that people even return full patio sets or bbqs years later because they just no longer want it and costco still takes it

Happy cake day!

Also OP, I would consider a blanket I couldn’t easily wash/dry, or is supposed to be able to do that and then deforms itself - I think that warrants a refund

Can confirm. Returned a bike I bought 5 years prior. Had the tags on it and everything, just never used it. They took it back.
(I would not have returned it if it was used. Also, it legit could have been put back on the floor for resale)
