Another year, another post!
The following outlines the return policies for most of the online Canadian retailers (that are usually posted here). I thought it be helpful to consolidate them to help those who buy from multiple places and want to know how long they have to return items. If there are any I'm missing, please let me know and I will add:
Store | Begins | Last Day to Return | Notes |
ToysRUS | Sept 1, 2020 | Later of Jan 31, 2021 or 30 days from purchase date | R Club Member purchases may be returned until January 31st, 2021 or 90 days from purchase date |
Amazon | Oct 1, 2020 | Later of Jan 31, 2021 or 30 days from purchase date | Includes both items sold from Amazon and 3rd parties |
Best Buy | Oct 29, 2020 | Later of Jan 16, 2021 or 30 days from purchase date |
The Source | Nov 1, 2020 | Later of Jan 15, 2021 or 30 days from purchase date |
Staples | Nov 1, 2020 | Later of Jan 16, 2021 or 14/30 days from purchase date |
EB Games | Nov 1, 2020(?) | Later of Jan 15, 2021(?)or 30 days from purchase date | No official holiday return policy currently in place |
Walmart | N/A | 120 Days | No official holiday return policy currently in place |
One other tip for this year: a lot of retailers offer return by mail (to avoid going into stores). For example, Best Buy I usually just ask them in chat for a label. Safe shopping this holiday season!
