Amazon UK Refunds

Amazon UK refunds are issued depending on the method of payment you used for the purchase. It is possible to get an instant refund. This option allows you to get a refund without waiting through the refund process. The refund may be issued to your credit card or as a balance to your Amazon UK gift card. You must return the item within 30 days.

Even though Amazon UK refunds are generally processed immediately, it may take five to seven business days before they reflect on your payment card statement. It is possible to get a refund without mailing your item back. If that is the case, you will be notified in the Returns Support Centre.

Gift Refunds

You will receive these refunds depending on how you purchased and returned the gift.

Partial and Reduced Refunds

If you want to get a refund, you should return your item in the same condition s you received it. You must include all the accessories that came with the item. If you would like to return a gift, it may be subject to a reduced refund. For open video games and video game consoles that were not received in perfect condition, your refund may be 50% of the original price.

How are Refunds Issued?

Amazon UK allows you to choose the method where your refund will be sent. You can do it in the Online Returns Center. If you are returning your item before receiving your refund, it may take three to five more days.

If you are using a credit card, the average refund time is three to five business days. For gift cards, the refund is immediate. Debit cards and checking accounts can take up to ten business days.

If your refund was sent to a pre-paid card that you can no longer access, the card will still be stored in your account. You can use it for purchases in the future.
