Not such a valued customer after all!

I purchased two t-shirts mid-June for a friend, she was away at the time and returned last week. The items didn't fit so I went to return them. I was told that I had missed the 30 days returns period and could therefore not get my money back. I keep getting sms's from Edgars saying how valued I am, yet I can't return something that was 5 days short of the returns period? Mr Price has a 60 day returns policy as do many other stores. The tags were still on the items and still in the Edgars bag. What a shame that you are happy to turn a customer away, I always thought you are meant to make your customer happy. Are you saying I was meant to fly to Canada to check if the items fitted so I could return it before the 30 day deadline. Shame, are you that hard up for money? No point in keeping my account with you, last purchase was in cash, seems like I'll be making the right choice in closing this account now.
