Here are the shipping and return policies for all the big-name retailers

This article compiles the holiday shipping and return policies for major retailers including Amazon and Apple. It aims to help shoppers manage expectations regarding delivery timelines and post-purchase returns during the busy holiday season.
Why it matters
Clear knowledge of return windows and shipping deadlines reduces consumer anxiety and potential financial loss during holiday shopping.
With the holidays quickly appro aching, everyone will soon be on the hunt for gifts and the fastest way to get them. Thankfully, many retailers offer generous shipping policies, with some even providing free two-day shipping or same-day delivery if you’re willing to pay a little extra. And just in case the gift you choose isn’t quite right, many retailers offer extended return policies so your giftee can get something more to their liking. For your convenience, we’ve compiled the current shipping and return policies for all the big-name retailers, from Amazon to Walmart. A few already have holiday policies in place, but we’ll be keeping tabs on them and updating our list accordingly. Hopefully, knowing more about how much leeway you have to make a return will help lessen that inevitable holiday angst (fingers crossed).
