If you’re planning to return alcohol to the SAQ, make sure you hang on to your receipt!
Quebecers will no longer be able to return or exchange alcohol without proof of purchase — meaning you won’t be able to exchange a bottle you received as a gift unless you have the receipt.
That said, defective products can still be returned without a receipt, although certain wines will be an exception.
In addition to this change, the return and exchange window is being shortened from 90 days to just 30 days.
