“The most important thing about a plate is the signature. If nobody has signed for it, you have to take it back. And if you get the wrong one, there’s nothing more we will do.”
Takeaway: Return dishes that aren’t yours as soon as possible if you’ve taken something from a restaurant.

It depends on how you got the plates.
The answer to “how long do you have to return plates in New York?” depends on how you got the plates.
If you bought them from a store, then there are no restrictions on how long it’s okay for you to keep them. The same goes for restaurants—you can keep using your plates as long as they’re still usable and all their parts are still attached. Why not use them if they don’t need replacing or repairing?
You also have the option of returning plates that were given to you by friends or relatives (like Aunt Mary). Unlike buying something new from a store or restaurant, this gift has no expiration date! You’ll have to ask yourself whether or not these gifts are still practical five years later: if yes, then go ahead; if not, go ahead anyway because no one will mind if we borrow theirs instead
You must always return plates brought into restaurants within a reasonable time of receiving them.

This is the norm for most restaurants, but it’s worth noting that there are exceptions—for example, if a customer brings in an empty plate and asks you to fill it up with food from their order. In this case, your customer should have been given enough time to eat their meal before leaving without the need to return their dishes immediately.

Not all states have strict rules about what can and cannot be returned if the shop sold them to you.
The law in New York is a little different than most states, so it’s worth reading up on your local laws before you return plates.
In general: If you bought the plates from a store or restaurant, they must be returned within 30 days of purchase. If you bought them from someone selling meat or dairy products for personal consumption (like a farmer), that person must give them back within 14 days of purchase. This does not apply if the item was damaged during shipping—you’ll have to take care of that yourself!
Even in states that don’t require stores to accept returned plates, many will take them back when asked, so you may want to ask when you get something expensive and can’t bear it.

If the store says no, ask if they will refund you. If they say no, ask if someone who works there can exchange it for something else. If they say no again and there’s nothing else left in your size (or color), ask if they’ll let you return it directly to the store where purchased—it might be worth trying!
