What Should I Know About Returning an Item to Amazon?

Amazon requires you to return the damaged item within 30 days of reception. Sending it after the deadline means that you’ll be charged for both the replacement item and the original one. The company will cover the postage costs and the Import Fees Deposit once it processes your request and confirms that the package is indeed damaged.

In case you received a damaged mobile phone, camera, or a similar device, make sure to remove any passwords and personal data before returning it. You also shouldn’t send any separately purchased accessories, such as memory cards or phone cases.
