Now you get to decide your return fate! Are you feeling social and crave human interaction (or maybe just need an excuse to get out of the house and avoid the judging gaze of the ten-foot teddy bear)? Then a valiant return to the store might be your calling. Just remember to bring your order confirmation email (printed or on your phone) and the item itself.

However, if the thought of wrestling the ten-foot terror into your car fills you with dread, then mail return is your champion. Walmart will provide you with a free return label (because, let's be honest, who wants to pay to return a giant bear they never wanted?). Just print it out, slap it on your package (carefully avoiding the teddy bear's giant, button eyes), and drop it off at your nearest carrier. Easy peasy!
