What Is Kroger’s Return Policy?
Kroger allows returns of items to all store locations within 30 days of purchase. Besides items from Kroger, you can return products from any Kroger company store family, including:
- Ralphs
- Fred Meyer
- Fry’s
- Food 4 Less
- Pay-Less Super Markets
- Gerbes
- City Market
- King Soopers
- Harris Teeter
- Baker’s
- Jay C Food Store
- QFC
- Foods Co
- Smith’s Food and Drug
- Dillons
Note that each of the mentioned stores accepts eligible returns from any other Kroger family store. You can return virtually any item, but the following products have restricted returns:
- Alcohol and tobacco returns are governed by local law
- Baby formula returns are only acceptable if you have a receipt
- Items purchased with Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) food packages can only be exchanged for the same item. You cannot get a refund for such products
What Is the Kroger Return Policy With a Receipt?
There are two types of receipts at Kroger stores—digital and paper. If you have any type of receipt for the products you’re returning, you will be refunded to the original payment method you used for the purchase except for checks, which are refunded in cash.
What Is the Kroger Return Policy Without a Receipt?
If you return $10.00 or less worth of Kroger products, you’ll receive cash for your return. Items worth more than that can be exchanged for a store credit gift card of the same value. When returning items to Kroger worth over $10.00, you need to sign a return slip.
You don’t need to provide your ID for returns without a receipt, although this is a common practice in many stores.
How To Make Returns to Kroger
You can only return items to Kroger stores in person. Returns via mail are not available, even when you shop online. If you wish to return products, bring them over to the nearest Kroger, and don’t forget the receipt if you have it. You can find local Kroger shops by using the Store Locator tool.
If you have any questions regarding returns, you can call Kroger customer service at 1-800-576-4377 from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. EST during workdays and from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. EST during the weekends.
You can also use the live chat feature to reach online customer support. To do so, open the Kroger Contact page and click on Launch Live Chat.
