Good to know
Holiday returns
Walmart’s policy page currently says most items bought 1 October – 31 December can be returned until 31 January. Marketplace sellers can differ.
No receipt?
Keep it if you can. Without a receipt Walmart asks for government photo ID, and you may get an exchange or a Walmart gift card rather than cash.
Refunds
To your original payment method. Cards can take up to about 7 days.
Fees
No fee on items Walmart sells itself. Some Marketplace sellers charge up to 20%.
- Returns are free in store, at curbside drop-off, by mail, or by home pickup where offered.
- Start online returns from Purchase History in your Walmart account.
