Return Shipping

   In-Store Returns

Items returned in store are shipped back to Walmart Canada’s returns center (“TRG”) by direct courier.  TRG then handles the returned items in accordance with the Seller’s returns option election, outlined in In Store Returns:

Option 1: R – Recycle: TRG may dispose, resell or distribute the returned product in a manner and on terms and conditions as determined by TRG

Option 2: S – Ship Returned Product to Seller: TRG will consolidate returned items and ship them back to their respective Sellers within 30 days of receipt at TRG.

A return shipping fee may automatically get applied according to carrier’s charges. Sellers may be responsible for paying return shipping fees for any returns identified by the customer as Seller fault.

Seller fault return reason codes:

• Arrived damaged
