How Do I Return My Item to WalMart?
Most items bought at Walmart.com or in-store can be returned 90 days after purchase. Items bought online can be returned by mail or to the store. Those purchased at a physical Walmart store can only be returned in-store. You can start the returns process with or without a Walmart account. You can also visit the customer service desk in-store if you don't want to process the return online.
Most of the items bought from U.S. Walmart stores, Walmart Business, Walmart.com or Marketplace sellers on the website can be returned 90 days after purchase. Items bought online can be returned either by mail or to the Walmart store. However, those purchased at a physical Walmart store must only be returned to the store.
Returning Items by Mail
Below are the steps to return an item bought at Walmart.com. Most items can be returned at no cost by mail.
1. Log in to your Walmart account and look for the item you want to return. For multiple orders, you will need to process the returns separately.
2. Choose Return and provide the reason for returning the item.
3. To print the return label, choose Return By Mail.
4. Drop off the item at FedEx or USPS locations. Make sure to pack the item with the original packaging along with the accessories.
5. Arrange a pickup if you're shipping a large item.
6. Wait for Walmart to issue the refund.
If you don't have a Walmart account, visit the online order tracking system to process the return. You'll need the order number and email address to successfully process the return.
How to Return an Item in the Walmart Store

1. Prepare your order number or receipt and go to the Start Returns page on Walmart.com.
2. Choose in-store purchase or online purchase.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions and make sure you have the confirmation email with you when you visit the store. Bring the item and the receipt, if you have any.
For those who don't want to use the app or website to start the returns process, visit the customer service desk at the Walmart store.
What Happens if You Don't Have a Receipt
Walmart will accept the return if you can present a government-issued ID.
If the refund verification process accepts your return without the receipt, you can exchange the item or get a cash refund for items less than $10. You can get a Walmart shopping card if the item is worth more than $10.
Walmart can also locate the item purchased if you have the email or phone number used when you bought the item, or the credit or debit card. If you have questions, please contact Customer Support.
