Learn How To Get a Refund for Amazon Damaged Items!

Getting a package with a damaged item can be stressful, especially if you’re not sure whether you have the right to request a refund. In this guide, you’ll find out what you can do if Amazon damages your items in transportation.

DoNotPay can help you report the issue to Amazon, ask for a refund, and send a return item request in a few clicks!

Does Amazon Offer Refunds for Damaged Items?

Amazon grants refunds for items sold by them directly. Did you purchase an item from a third-party seller? You have to get in touch with that merchant regarding the refund unless you purchased the A-to-z Guarantee, in which case you can send your refund request to Amazon.

In most cases, you have to return the item in question to be eligible for a refund. Amazon needs to inspect the product to ensure the damage is their fault. Sometimes, Amazon decides that returning the item isn’t necessary, especially if its price is lower than shipping expenses.

Amazon offers different refund methods, and you can select your preferred one on the Returns Center page. Once Amazon approves your refund request, you’ll have to wait a couple of hours or a few business days to receive the money.

Check out the following table to see the estimated refund time depending on the method you choose:
