Amazon Electronics Return Policy

You have 30 days to return most electronics bought on Amazon, counted from the delivery date. Phones, laptops, headphones, TVs and cameras are some of the most-returned Amazon purchases, so the window matters.

How the electronics return window works

Common electronics returns

Good to know

Return electronics in the original box with every cable and accessory. Open-box or defective units are still returnable inside the window — start the return and pick “item defective” if it arrived broken.

Best-effort estimate based on Amazon's published category policies. Amazon sets the official return date for every order — always confirm in Your Orders before relying on a reminder.

Common questions

How long do I have to return electronics to Amazon?

Amazon's published policy gives you 30 days from the delivery date to return most electronics. Amazon sets the official date for each order, so confirm it in Your Orders.

When does the Amazon return window start?

It starts on the delivery date — not the day you ordered or the day it shipped.
