If you are like any of the millions of people that will be doing some online shopping at Amazon these next couple of months, the good news for you is that you have a much longer time to return items than normal! This is because the Amazon holiday return policy went into effect for all packages shipped today and onward! In fact, this return window is bigger than ever and great news with Prime Day coming up next week.

What is the Amazon Holiday Return Policy?
For packages shipped from October 1 to December 31, customers have all the way until January 31, 2021 to return them! This means that packages shipped today would not need to be returned for up to 118 days!
This means that items sold and fulfilled by Amazon do not need to be returned for quite a while. This is great news for gift-givers who find a great deal and want to wait all the way into December to give it (or, if you are like me and can’t wait, you make up a holiday name for the day you want to give it!). It is also great news for deal hunters. This is because this month is one of the best months of the years for deals from retailers but they do not always come out at the same time. So, you can buy from Amazon as soon as you see a great price and then wait to return it to see what other deals might pop up.
From Amazon:
Also, remember that you can always do a chat with Amazon if an item’s price drops with them after you have received it. They may tell you that they cannot price match but you can still return it and rebuy it so they may do it since it is easier to just refund the difference!
To return an item, it is super simple. Just login to your Amazon account and select the item you want to return from your Orders page. On that page, it tells you when the return window is open until and you are able to initiate the return!
