Returns window for holiday sales extended to January 31
Similar to previous years, we’ll temporarily extend our standard return window for holiday sales to give customers the confidence to shop early and help you increase your sales.
Our 2025 extended holiday returns policy requires that items purchased between November 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 can be returned until January 31, 2026, except for Apple brand products which can be returned until January 15, 2026.
The extended return window applies to Fulfillment by Amazon, Fulfilled by Merchant, and Amazon retail orders. While the return window will be extended, returns eligibility for all orders remains the same.
For more information on our return policy, and to view return eligibility for each category, go to Amazon Return Policy.

So customers get to enjoy the product for 90 days before having to return it.
Another reason why I do not sell on Amazon anymore.

They keep pushing the date further and further towards Christmas each year. Probably to reduce the amount of money they lose from all the customer abuse. Amazon must lose hundreds of millions every year to all the fraud on here.

No! No! No! The extended return window is open ALL the year.
This year I already had at least four orders that customers purchased between February and September and were also delivered between February and September, and all were delivered on time. But Amazon still approved customers return requests that occurred 35 to 60 days after the delivery dates, and marked the returns "In Policy", and I had no way to deny the returns and, when filing Safe-T, I only got a reimburse of a small part (20%) of total refund (no matter how bad the returned item's condition was) , and even no reimbursement for the return shipping fee.
Of course, I never set a 60 day return policy in my account. I clearly stated 30-day return policy in my seller profile.
What the hell is Amazon's return policy? ??

Amazon would not survive if they did not allow such ridiculous policies that encourage fraud. Tis the season of free rentals or heck it really feels like this year everything will be FREE as sales are already in the toilet along with Amazon Price Fixing "High Pricing Errors" and removing good selling listings blaming their bots and incapable of fixing as it is their ploy to drive sales towards Amazon shipped and sold items!

Listings are now showing 'FREE refund/replacement until Jan 31. (when you hover over the statement it states: 'Read full return policy'
This is false! returns are not free if the return is seller-faulted (bought wrong part, doesn't fit . . . ).
Now when returns are processed normally and buyers are charged for the return label due to buyer-faulted return they are not going to be happy as they will be stating: 'It said FREE returns until Jan 31!'
Any chance of Amazon 'fixing' this?

For all your Veteran's Day purchases ...
Or is there another holiday anywhere near Nov 1 that this could conceivably apply to?
