Overview

To initiate a return, customers may contact Walmart customer service, complete the process on Walmart.com or return the items at any Walmart store.  

When a standard customer return is initiated, Walmart will automatically refund the customer, or you will need to refund the order in Seller Center after the item is delivered to your return center. As a reminder, returns that have been received at your return center must be refunded within 48 hours after receiving the item.   

The only exceptions to the standard return process include hazmat or freight items and other items that fall outside the standard return rules. For a complete list of item exceptions, review the Returns Policy. These adjustments will require customers to contact you for processing and will be completed as described in Issue adjustments or non-standard refunds.

Notes

If you fail to initiate the refund within 48 hours, Walmart will issue the refund on your behalf.
