REI was legendary for their returns. There was a nice article in the WSJ back when REI changed to a more sane policy:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/retailer-rei-ends-era-of-many-happy-returns-1379298740

Here is one of the better lines from that article:

Earlier this year, Mr. Thomas, says he returned a backpack he bought in 2004, which he had hauled up the tallest mountain in Yosemite National Park and hundreds of miles across a number of states. But it "was getting old and dirty, and I didn't like it anymore," he says.
