Walmart Return Policy Explained

Walmart allows for returns on items for up to 90 days after your purchase. That window is extended around the holidays when purchases made between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 are allowed to be returned until Jan. 31 of the following year.

Returns are accepted both at the store and via FedEx. There's also an option available to Walmart+ members that provides home pickup of returns.
