Returns & Refunds Return to Help Center

What is Samsung's return policy?

Updated 

Please review the terms of this policy carefully. Additional requirements may apply to returns due to damage or defect, or products sent to us containing customer data.
A 10% RESTOCKING FEE MAY APPLY TO RETURNS OF HOME APPLIANCES AND ACCESSORIES. A 5% RESTOCKING FEE MAY APPLY TO RETURNS OF CERTAIN DEVICES (INCLUDING FOLDABLE PHONES OR THE GALAXY RING) AND TV & AUDIO, & DISPLAYS.

Items shipped from Samsung.com or the Shop Samsung App can be returned within the Return Window. The standard Return Window is within 15 days of delivery and can be viewed on the My Orders page. Once a return is requested, you will have an additional 15 days to return the product(s) to us.

Please note: Anything received damaged, defective, or otherwise non-functioning must be reported within 5 days of the delivery or 2 days after installation (whichever is later) to be eligible for return under this return policy. The Return Window for Samsung.com or Shop Samsung App purchases will begin once delivery, or installation, is complete. Defective devices may still be subject to Standard Limited Warranty eligibility.

General Return Guidelines

  • Only items that have been purchased directly from Samsung.com or the Shop Samsung App can be returned to Samsung.

    • Samsung products purchased through other retailers, or resellers of Samsung products, must be returned to those retailers in accordance with their respective returns and refunds policies.

  • Items must be returned in a new or like-new condition (no internal or external damage that was not present at time of delivery).

  • Any returned product that is damaged, materially altered, or is in an unsellable condition through customer misuse will result in the return being rejected.

    • IMPORTANT: We are unable to ship products that contain personal data or could potentially cause harm to equipment or personnel while in transit (such as a swollen battery). This may prevent us from sending a product that failed its return inspection back to the original purchaser.

  • Occasionally, there are promotional periods where the return window is extended for a limited time. If your order qualifies for an extended return window, it will not be subject to the standard 15 day return window. The My Orderspage will display the return eligible window.

  • If a product is defective at the time of delivery or installation, our Product Support team will be responsible for confirming the defect and providing options.

    • This may require a service technician to visit you in person to diagnose the defective product.

    • This may also require photos of the product experiencing the defect.

    • Click hereto contact our Product Support team to start the process or learn more.

  • If a product is damaged in transit, or during installation, our Order Support team may require photos of the damaged product(s).

    • Photos Required: Shipping Label attached to packaging, Shipping packaging, and damaged product(s).

    • If we are unable to validate the damage through those photos, orders will remain eligible for other, non-damaged related, return reasons within the return window.

  • In order to be eligible for a refund under this return policy, products that are received damaged, defective, or otherwise non-functional must be reported within 5 days of being delivered or within 2 days of it being installed (whichever is later) when purchased on Samsung.com or the Shop Samsung app.
