How Long Does Amazon Take To Refund?

For most items, Amazon processes refunds very quickly, usually within 1-3 business days of approving your return. However, it may take longer in some cases:

  • International returns can take 1-2 weeks to process refunds due to additional customs processing.
  • If you return an item to a physical Amazon store, the refund will be issued once Amazon receives and processes the returned item.
  • For some large purchases like electronics, appliances or custom items, it may take 5-7 business days to fully process the refund once Amazon receives the returned item.

In general, expect a refund to appear in your original payment method within 2-4 business days of Amazon receiving and processing the returned item. But it's a good idea to allow up to 2 weeks total for international returns or returns of large/custom items.

You can check the status of your return and expected refund date on Amazon's "Your Orders" page. If a refund is not issued within the expected timeline, you should contact Amazon support for assistance.
