FAQ

How long do refunds usually take?

Refund timing depends on the retailer and payment method. In-store refunds can be immediate, while online returns often take longer due to shipping and processing. Always keep proof of drop-off or shipment.

What if I don’t have a receipt?

Some stores can look up purchases using your card, phone number, or loyalty account, but policies vary. Without a receipt, refunds may be store credit and may use the lowest recent selling price.

Do “final sale” items ever qualify for return?

Usually no, but exceptions may apply for defects, incorrect items, or damage in transit. Check the specific terms on your receipt/order page and contact support promptly.

What should I do before returning electronics?

Back up your data, sign out of accounts, disable activation locks, and factory reset the device if required. Return all accessories (cables, chargers, manuals) and keep shipment/drop-off proof.
