Walmart Return Policy on Apple Products (Opened, Used + More)

Walmart’s standard return policy offers a 90-day return on most products as long as you haven’t heavily used them, return the items with any packaging and accessories, and have a receipt to confirm that you purchased the product with them.

Walmart products have differing return policies, which can become complex in some situations, so it’s essential to check each item’s return options. In some cases, the return window could be as little as 14-Days from purchase.

Walmart Apple Watch Return Policy

If a customer is not satisfied with their Apple Watch, they can return it within 30 days of purchase for a refund or exchange. In addition, if the product is returned with all of its accessories, the customer will receive a refund or exchange.

Walmart Apple iPhone Return Policy

If a customer is not satisfied with their iPhone, they can only return it within 14 days of the original purchase date. In order to receive a refund, the customer must show the phone in its original condition.

Walmart Apple iPad Return Policy

If a customer is not satisfied with their iPad, they can return it within 30 days of purchase or 15 days of the original purchase date. They must bring all of their accessories and package with them in order to receive a full refund.

If you need to check other products, such as other electronics like TVs, or car batteries, air mattresses, makeup, and even alcohol, then we’ve got you covered with each policy.

Can You Return Apple Products to Walmart?

Walmart does allow you to return most Apple products under the standard electronics return policy of 30 days. You must return the item unopened or in good condition with all the packaging and accessories that came with the product. 

Apple iPhones fall under the wireless phone policy, which gives you 14-Days from purchase to be considered for a refund or exchange. 

Postpaid Apple iPhones that you have a contract with need to be returned to the same store you purchased it from, but your postpaid contract may not allow you to cancel the phone or plan.

Unlocked Apple iPhones can be returned for a refund when unopened or exchanged for the same or similar product if you opened it.

If you purchased an Applecare+ plan you would need to cancel this independently from your returned product; otherwise, you will continue to be charged or receive no refund.
