When you return an item, your refund amount and refund method may vary. Check the payment method refunded and the status of your refund in Your Orders.
When returning an item, you have the option to choose your preferred refund method in the Online Returns Center.
After the carrier receives your item, it can take up to two weeks for us to receive and process your return. Certain items can take up to 30 days. We typically process returns within 3-5 business days after the carrier delivers the item to our Returns Center. When we complete processing your return, we issue a refund to the selected payment method. Learn how to Track Your Return.
If you want to use your refund without waiting for us to process your return, you can select the Instant Refund option, if available. Instant refunds are either refunded to your credit card or issued as an Amazon.com Gift Card balance. You'll still need to return your items within 30 days.
Once we issue your refund, it takes additional time for your financial institution to make funds available in your account. Refer to following table for more details.
