Bluemercury tip
Exchanges can only be done in-store, not by mail, so mail-in returns are refund-only even if you wanted a swap; after 90 days a refund converts to store credit (gift card) instead of cash back to your card.
Sensica tip
The 120-day window sounds generous, but Sensilift and Sensifirm devices carry a $35/month usage fee during your trial, so returning one after 3-4 months can eat a big chunk of your refund.
