Walmart Apple Watch Return Policy (Opened, No Receipt + More)
When you think of Walmart, you usually associate it with discounted everyday essentials. So you might be surprised to know that Walmart has the latest tech, like the high-demand Apple Watch!
Walmart has some particularly enticing Apple Watch deals at its US retail stores. But if you change your mind, you might be wondering if Walmart accepts returns on such high-demand products. Here’s what I found!
Walmart Apple Watch Return Policy
Walmart accepts returns on all Apple Watch models within 30 days of purchase if customers are dissatisfied or change their minds. When the Apple Watch is returned to Walmart with all accessories, box, and receipt, a refund, store credit, or exchange will be offered.
If you’re wondering if you’re entitled to a refund if you buy an unwanted Apple Watch at Walmart, read on!
How do I return my Apple Watch to a Walmart store?
To initiate a return, you must first be within the 30-day return window, as the Apple Watch falls under the “Electronics” category (see below for more information on returns after this time period).
If you’re within 30 days, you’ll need to find all of your Apple Watch accessories, such as bands, charging docks, booklets, and boxes (if you still have them).
Also, if you wish to receive a full refund, we recommend that you bring a copy of your receipt or email confirmation if you purchased your Apple Watch from Walmart.com.
From here, just visit your local Walmart’s returns counter, where an associate will process your return.
It also helps to bring the same card you used to buy the Apple Watch, as they’ll need it to process refunds (unless you paid in cash).
Typically, it takes 3-5 business days for the refund to appear in your account, depending on your banking institution.
Can you return an open Apple Watch to Walmart?
Yes, Walmart will accept returns of Apple Watch devices out of the box within 30 days of purchase.
You can still get a refund or exchange as long as the Apple Watch is in original condition and undamaged within the due date for the device.
Do I need a receipt to return my Apple Watch at Walmart?
Yes, Walmart prefers to process returns with a receipt or order number, as this is the most reliable proof of purchase.
However, Walmart is usually willing to use a verification process that uses a government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driver’s license, to verify your purchase.
If your purchase is verified, the value of your Apple Watch will be loaded into a Walmart gift card that you can use directly in-store or online.
Without a receipt, you will not be able to get a full cash or credit card refund. Cash is only given out on transactions valued at less than $25.
Can I return my Apple Watch after 30 days?
Unfortunately, unlike most Walmart products, the Apple Watch falls into the electronics category and must be returned within 30 days.
However, while Walmart seems to be very strict about this policy, there are steps you can take to return your Apple Watch after 30 days if you feel you have a reason to return it.
How to Return Apple Watch Online at Walmart.com
Online returns for Apple Watches shipped and sold by Walmart are easy.
Log in to Walmart.com using the app or Walmart.com to view your order history and select the Apple Watch you no longer need.
If you placed your order as a guest, you can still submit your return by creating a new account.
You’ll then choose whether you want a refund or a replacement if possible, and receive a printable free shipping label that needs to be affixed to the packaged Apple Watch.
FedEx and USPS are happy to ship your returns. Once Walmart receives your return, it will begin processing your refund and sending the replacement to the address you originally used.
The same process is required for most Apple Watches sold by third-party merchants on Walmart.com.
However, some sellers may require you to pay for shipping. Identify your seller in the “Sold and Shipped” section of every online item.
If you’ve bought other electronics with your Apple Watch, you might also be wondering about Walmart’s return policy for cameras, appliances, headphones, drones, modems/routers, and Cricut.
