How can I return a Marketplace item?
It is easy and convenient to return items that are within a Seller’s return policies.
You may return your return your Marketplace items in one of the following ways:
Online: Log into Your AccountOpens in new window from your mobile or desktop and go to your Purchase History. From there, select Start a Return. Follow the prompts to select the item you want to return.
In-store: Pack each item to be returned separately and bring it ready to ship to the customer service desk at any Walmart store. We’ll provide the label, but can’t help with packaging or accept items that are not boxed and taped.
In case of exceptions like hazardous materials (for example, items that contain Lithium-ion batteries) and freight (for example, items that are over 150 lbs or meet freight requirements), please contact the Marketplace Seller directly to discuss the return.
For mailed returns, tracking information from the carrier is usually updated and visible on the carrier’s site within 48 hours of them taking your package.
When will I get my refund after completing the return?
For returns initiated in-store, refunds generally are processed when the item is received in the store. You will see the refund on your payment card approximately 5 days after the refund is processed, depending on your bank.
For returns initiated online or through Walmart Customer Care, refunds are generally processed when the return package is first scanned by the carrier. You will see the refund on your payment card approximately 5 days thereafter, depending on your bank.
What should I do if I do not wish to return an item but would like to contact a Marketplace Seller with a question?
