Store return policies

Free guides to five stores’ return policies: how long you have, when the clock starts, and the exceptions that make the headline number wrong for some items. Each guide is checked against the store’s own pages and lists them. The set was last checked Oct 13, 2026.

The general window at each store, and the exception that most often changes it.
Store	General window	When it starts	The exception that most often changes it
Amazon’s return policy	30 days	Purchase, or delivery for online orders	Apple and Boost Infinite products in new condition: 15 days
Walmart’s return policy	90 days	Purchase; for online orders, Walmart doesn’t say	Electronics and vacuums: 30 days; most phones: 14; major appliances: 2 days from delivery
Target’s return policy	90 days	Purchase, or delivery for online orders	Electronics: 30 days; Apple and Beats products: 14
Best Buy’s return policy	15 days	The day you receive it (for store pickup, count from the purchase)	Plus and Total members: 60 days on most products, but phones stay at 14
Apple’s return policy	14 days	The day you receive it	Bought at another store? That store’s policy applies, not Apple’s
