What Shoppers Say About Walmart's Return Policy

★★★★Ease: 5/5Feb 2026

Online returns are actually smoother than in-store.

★★★★★Ease: 5/5Jan 2026

Easy enough if you have the receipt. Without it, it's a hassle.

★★★★★Ease: 3/5Jan 2026

90 days is fine but the return lines are always long.

★★★★Ease: 3/5Nov 2025

Had to show ID for a $15 return. A bit excessive.

★★★★★Ease: 3/5Nov 2025

Electronics only get 30 days which is tight.
