While the return process is fairly intuitive, Amazon's return policycan be tricky for some purchases. While the website states that most items can be returned in their original packaging with no missing parts within 30 days of receipt regardless of whether they've been opened, there are some notable exceptions. Some luxury items cannot be returned once opened, for instance. And if you purchased an item through Amazon from a third-party seller, that seller might have their own return policy that differs from Amazon's. Meanwhile, not all items can be returned, such as digital orders, gift cards, and groceries purchased through Amazon Fresh.
