For most items shipped and sold by Amazon, it typically takes 3-5 business days after cancellation or return for the refund to process and appear on your statement or account. However, some items may take slightly longer to process depending on many factors like shipping/delivery timelines, processing at fulfillment centers, etc.
You can check the status of your refund on Your Orders page on Amazon. Once fully processed, it should say "Refund issued" next to the order. Most banks and credit cards also take 1-3 business days to post the refund once received from Amazon. So in total, plan for 5-10 business days on average for the full refund journey.
Some things that can affect the exact refund timeline include payment method used, shipping speed of return item back to Amazon, holidays/weekends, size and complexity of order being returned/cancelled. But in general, most standard refunds from Amazon are issued within 3-5 business days once they receive and process the returned item or cancellation.
