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.
Wigfever tip
You get one free exchange within 15 days on eligible orders, but Wigfever won't ship the replacement until the original wig is received back - budget extra time if you need the swap before an event.
