Unless your bill of sale states otherwise, custom and practice in the retail industry as a general rule holds that unpicked up merchandise is held ordinarily forty-five (45) days after written and verbal notice to the customer that such is available to be picked up.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
