Stop missing return deadlines

You buy something new and set it aside. The pile grows as you promise “I’ll get to it soon.” Before you know it, the return window closes. Now you’re stuck with items you don’t want—and money down the drain.

The struggle

• When you finally get around to returning, you dig through emails for return info.
• Deadlines pass before you know it.
• You juggle returns at Amazon, Target, HomeGoods, and more.
• You lose refund details in a sea of tabs.

The fix

The Merchandise Return Tracker gives you one Notion table to log every return. Add the item, store, and return deadline. The database flags returns due soon so you never miss a deadline again. Then it helps you track receipt of the credit.

You can pay whatever you feel is a fair price, or you’re welcome to put $0 and get it for free! Either way, I hope you find it valuable.
