Verizon Return Policy—The Basics

Here are the explanations of the basic Verizon return policy terms:

• Return period—You can return or exchange wireless devices and accessories within 14 days of purchase
• Return fee—Verizon charges a $50 restocking fee for all returns and exchanges in all states except for Hawaii. Exchanges for products that the company shipped to you may require additional compensation for the shipping costs
• Product condition—You must return the device and all accompanying instructions and components in the original box you got upon purchase. To be eligible for a return, the products must be in like-new condition, and you have to bring your receipt
• Exchange limit—The company limits product exchanges to one per customer
• Late returns—Verizon won’t refund or send you a new product if you attempt a return or exchange after the 14-day deadline
• Promotional offers—The company will charge back all promotional value if you return or exchange a device you obtained through a promotional offer
• Returns for products without a UPC—Verizon will reduce your refund for any mail-in rebates that were available for that product at the time of purchase
• Additional fees—Returns that require a company representative to remove the equipment from your vehicle or any other fixed location will entail an additional service fee

Exceptions to the Verizon Return Policy

Will I Cancel My Verizon Services if I Return Products That Are Associated With Them?

No, returning your products to Verizon won’t cancel the company’s services you’re using. To cancel Verizon, contact customer support through:

• Live chat
• Phone call

What Should I Do Before I Return My Items to Verizon?

Before making a return to Verizon, you should prepare your devices by:

• Backing up important photos, contacts, and other data
• Disabling the Find My iPhone or Find My Device option
• Removing personal content and accounts
• Doing a factory reset
• Removing any accessories or components you didn’t purchase at Verizon, such as SD cards

After you’ve wiped out all the sensitive information from the device, you can pack it along with all accessories, instructions, and components you initially got with it.

How To Return Your Products to Verizon

Return your products to Verizon with one of these methods:

1. In-store returns
2. Mail-in returns

Returning Your Verizon Products in Store

To initiate a return request to Verizon:

1. Bring your products and proof of purchase to your nearest Verizon store
2. Ask a company representative to start your return
3. Provide all the necessary information

Wait for the representative to process your request and issue your refund if the return is successful.

If you bought your Verizon devices from an authorized reseller, such as Costco and BestBuy, you need to return them to that company.

Return Your Devices to Verizon by Mail

To return your devices to Verizon by mail, follow these steps:

1. Make a copy of the shipping label you got with your order so you can retain it as your proof of shipment in case the package gets lost
