Yes, you can return Prime Day purchases. There’s no separate return policy for items you buy during the mega sale, but remember that some items can’t be returned, like groceries , downloadable software products and some jewelry.
Most items shipped and fulfilled by Amazon can be refunded within 30 days of delivery. If third-party sellers’ products are eligible for Amazon Prime, they fall under Amazon’s standard return policy. If not, they typically offer a return policy equivalent to Amazon’s.
Since Amazon has a generous return policy, it lowers the risk of shopping on Prime Day, says Steinman. So if you’re unsure about something but don’t want to miss out on the deal, know that you can easily return it.
Amazon has yet to announce if it’s hosting a second Prime Day in 2024, as it did in October 2022 and 2023. Only July’s Prime Day is guaranteed right now, so don’t wait to shop.

I’m an associate updates editor at NBC Select and I’ve been reporting about Amazon Prime Day for five years. I wrote NBC Select’s Prime membership guide and Amazon Prime Day history, both of which are articles I frequently update. I also write deal roundups during Amazon sale events. For this piece, I interviewed three experts about what’s worth shopping on Prime Day and how to save money during the event.
