What is Amazon’s Return Policy?
You have two options for Amazon refunds: either you had the item returned to Amazon or the refund is being processed by Amazon without the need to send it back.
Amazon will automatically refund any amount that is due to Amazon, even if the product cost is very low. If this happens, Amazon will not ask for additional information.
The refund process for products that you return will not begin until Amazon has received them. Although the actual processing time takes only 3-4 days, Amazon can take up to a few weeks for the product to be processed.
The time it takes to receive the money will vary depending on which option you choose. If you are eligible, you may also choose the instant refund option.
Amazon will issue a refund prior to processing the item. However, you must return the items within the time frame. The usual return window lasts around 30 days.
Once your items are received by Amazon, the company will process the refund in 5 business days. Even though the refund has been processed, financial institutions may take some time to get the money back to your account.
This is Amazon’s fault. It is possible to have your refund sent to you in the form of gift cards, or to transfer it to your Amazon account within 3-5 hours.
Pre-paid credit cards, on the other hand, can take up to 30 business days. It can take up to 10 days to reflect the amount on debit cards, credit cards, checking accounts or cash payments.
Gift items can be returned or refunded
The refund policy for gift item returns or refunds is slightly different. If the gift is returned after the 30 day return window and in its original condition, the refund amount is typically 80% of the original price.
The 50% refund applies to DVDs and CDs that have been opened. If the item has been damaged or is in a different condition than the original, the refund amount can be up to 50%. No refunds will be given for software or video games.
The original purchaser’s purchase history will determine whether the product can be returned or refunded. You can find the policy details in the “return a present” section of Amazon.
