Best Buy Business Returns and Exchanges

Returns and exchanges.

Our promise.

We at Best Buy work hard every day to enrich the lives of our customers through technology, whether you come to us online, visit our stores or invite us into your home. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, let us help you with a replacement, return or repair.

If you want to return or exchange your purchase, please know that you can return or exchange almost everything within 15 days for a full refund. Simply bring your item(s) to us with all contents, packaging and your proof of purchase, and we will process your return or exchange. You can return or exchange cell phones, cellular tablets, mobile hotspots and cellular wearables ("Activatable Devices") within 14 days for a full refund. This return period applies to all customers. The returns time period begins the day you receive your product and applies to new, clearance, open-box, refurbished and pre-owned products. If your purchase at a store is directly with a vendor, then the vendor's return policy applies.
