Holiday Return Policies

When shopping for gifts this holiday season, be aware of the holiday return policies. Fortunately, leading retailers such as Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy have initiated extended return timelines:

  • Best Buy: Purchases made from November 1 to December 31 can be returned until January 14, 2025.
  • Apple: Items ordered between November 8, 2024, and December 25, 2024, can be returned by January 8, 2025.
  • Amazon: Most products bought from November 1 to December 31, 2024, are returnable until January 31, 2025. However, Apple-branded items within that period can be returned until January 15, 2025.

If you plan to shop at Best Buy this season, consider the My Best Buy Plus membership. Starting at $49.99, it offers discounts on popular gadgets, including Macs and iPads.
