Amazon Returns

Amazon Refunds

Once your item reaches the returns centre, Amazon will begin processing your refund. While it can take up to 2–3 weeks, most refunds are issued within 3–5 days of receipt.

How do I choose the right courier company for Amazon returns?

Ensure you have the correct address and shipping details, and select a courier that provides tracking so you can monitor your return until it reaches Amazon.

How do I safely pack, prepare and ship my parcel?

Include all Amazon return documents in the box with the item. Use a sturdy box with internal padding—bubble wrap, packing pellets, or newspaper—and securely attach the label to the outside. Then wait for the courier to arrive!

Returning International Amazon Packages

Is it necessary to return Amazon products in their original packaging?

It is not necessary to return the product in its original packaging, but you must ensure it is packaged to protect against damage during transit. If it arrives damaged, sellers may hold you responsible for the loss.

Always check Amazon's full return policy before returning an item, as this is subject to change, as provided by Amazon staff themselves. As a reminder, the main things to consider when returning parcels to Amazon.com are:

  • Use Amazon Online Returns for an easy and quick return process.
  • If possible, reuse the original Amazon packaging—make sure the box is still in perfect condition. If it’s unusable, use a new, sturdy box and write the order number and recipient name on the outside.
  • Amazon will only cover return shipping costs if the return is due to an Amazon error; otherwise, return costs are charged to the sender. These rules may change, so review them before returning your item.

Returning goods to Amazon is not complicated and is a relatively straightforward process. All you have to do is print the shipping label using your Amazon account, prepare the package so it can be safely shipped, securely attach the existing label to the outside of the parcel box, and ship it!
