Are you tired of the puzzling return policies that make you want to give up on returning the unwanted product? The Oculus return policy might be wordy, but this article will break it down for you. We will also show you the easiest way to request a return from Oculus—by .

About the Oculus Return Policy

Oculus enables customers to return their purchases and get refunds, but the terms are different based on whether you are returning Rift/Quest digital or Go/Gear VR content.

The process also differs depending on where you purchased the product from.

Returning an Oculus Device Ordered From a Store

If you want to start a return process for a device that was ordered from Oculus and successfully charged, you will have to follow the steps below:

  1. Visit the Oculus website and log in to your account
  2. Click your profile photo
  3. Select Orders
  4. Click on the Devices tab
  5. Choose the device you want to return
  6. Click Return this product
  7. Explain the reason you’re returning the device
  8. Click on Submit Return Request

Based on the Oculus return policy, the company issues refunds within 30 days from the date of shipping. Upon receiving the returned product, the company will inspect it, and if eligible, you will get a refund to the original payment method. The company does not refund shipping costs.

Returning an Oculus Device Purchased From a Retail Store

In case you purchased an Oculus device in store, you'll need to go back to the same retail location to request a refund.

How To Return an Oculus App

According to the Oculus Rift return policy, you are eligible for a refund when returning Rift/Quest digital content if you fulfill the following criteria:

  • You used the app for no more than two hours
  • It’s been less than 14 days since your purchase when you requested a refund

When it comes to the Go/Gear VR Refund Policy, to qualify for a refund, you must:

  • Raise a refund request within three days of the purchase date
  • Not have used the content for more than half an hour

You can request an app return using the Oculus companion app on your phone following these six steps:

  1. Start the Oculus companion app on your phone
  2. Tap your profile picture
  3. Open Purchase History
  4. Select the content that you’re requesting a refund for
  5. Tap Request Refund

Apps That Do Not Qualify for an Automated Refund

In case your purchase does not qualify for this kind of refund (for instance, if the content is misdescribed or dysfunctional), you will have to reach out to Oculus Support. This way, you might still be able to get your money back.

Returning Accessories Purchased Online

According to the Oculus return policy, you can return all first-party items purchased from the official website for a refund within 30 days. In case 30 days have passed, and the product is covered by warranty, you can reach out to Oculus Support for a possible refund.

Third-party products can also be refunded via Oculus within 30 days. If the 30-day window expired and the product is covered by warranty, you need to reach out to the specific manufacturer for a refund or an exchange. If you did not purchase a third-party item online, the place of purchase must be contacted for any kind of refund or exchange.
