What would you do?

Back in October I purchased a set of baby boy birth announcement and a set of girl birth announcements from Target. They were exactly what I wanted....similar to Aliza's with a place for a picture and requiring some assembly that gives it a personal touch.

So last night I was sortof excited about getting to send them out in the next month and opened them up to look at them. I opened the boy's first and realized that at the bottom of the box was a whole bunch of folded plain white computer paper, no instructions, and no ribbon. Jeremy was right here and I commented to him that I thought that was really wierd because Aliza's was so user-friendly.

I opened the girl's box and there was ribbon and instructions and no blank paper and then I realized that the girl's box had about twice and many cardstock pieces. I then counted the boy's cardstock...21 pages....in what was supposed to be a 50 count kit. Yup, someone took out what they wanted, filled the box with blank paper and returned it to Target.

What would you do? If I have a girl I was planning to return the boy's announcement and vice versa if I have a boy. Do I return a half used kit that I purchased 4 months ago? I would feel like I had to explain and hope that they would believe that it wasn't me. (Each kit cost $19.99).

Tonight we did go back to Target and buy a complete boy's kit, just in case!

Wow, that is so mean of somebody to do that! But, since it has been 4 mo. they might not take it back anyway. They probably have a 30 or 90 day limit???Not sure girl. Thats a bummer. $20 bucks is $20 bucks!

i would take the announcements back and explain. my guess is that they want to keep their customers happy.
