Making Sense of the Garmin Return Policy

The Garmin return policy is a tough nut to crack. Luckily, with DoNotPay by your side, you’ll learn the ins and outs of the return procedure! In this step-by-step guide, you will discover how to get rid of unwanted Garmin merchandise without breaking a sweat!

Garmin Return Policy—General Terms and Conditions

Garmin allows customers to return almost all items for a refund within 30 days of the delivery date. To be eligible for a return, the product you’re returning must be in its original condition. Note that the following items are non-returnable:

  • Opened software
  • Downloadable items
  • Custom products

When returning items to Garmin, you will have to cover all the return shipping costs.

How To Return Garmin Gear

If you wish to return products to Garmin, you have two options to do so:

  1. Ship them back by mail
  2. Return them to a store

What You Need To Do To Return Garmin Gear by Mail

Before you send the parcel back to Garmin, you have to get an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number. To request one, you should:

  1. Call Garmin at (800) 800-1020 and explain the reason for your call
  2. Send a request letter at Powertex Group, Attn: Garmin Gear Returns, 5651 Highway 93, Eau Claire, WI 554701, including the details of your order and information regarding your return reason
  3. Fill out the Return for Refund Request form by entering your order number and shipping ZIP/postal code and follow any further instructions

Once a representative gets in touch and provides you with an RMA number, send the items to the Garmin warehouse with the RMA number marked clearly on the outside of the parcel.

Garmin Returns to a Store

Miami is the only city where you can find Garmin stores, so you can return most of the merchandise only to one of the two retail locations within 30 days of purchase. Cartography and opened software can’t be returned for a refund, but you can exchange them for the same product.

All returns must be accompanied by the original receipt or a record of the purchase in Garmin’s system. To be eligible for a return, the products must be in their original condition and box, along with the UPC code and all accompanying accessories.

Check the table below for more information about Garmin stores:

Return Garmin Gear Effortlessly With DoNotPay

The Garmin website is not intuitive at all, and there are a lot of details missing regarding the company’s return policy. Although you can find some information about all the ways you can start a return if you dig deeper, step-by-step instructions are not provided. You’ll have to contact Garmin directly, which means that you’ll have to endure endless calls, back-and-forth messages, and declined return forms until you finally (hopefully) get what you’re asking for.

DoNotPay eliminates such annoyances and submits the request in your stead in less than a minute. All you need to do is:

  1. Locate our Item Return Request product
  2. Provide answers to several purchase-related questions and attach photos if needed
  3. Click on Submit

Once you’re done, we will send a custom return request letter to Garmin containing relevant information about your dissatisfaction with the product. We’ll let you choose whether you want a refund or an exchange, and we’ll make sure you get it quickly by setting a deadline for the merchant. You can make good use of the free return shipping label as well—the courtesy of DoNotPay!
