[Update 10/13/20: Here’s the direct link to the holiday return policy (affiliate link).]
Amazon will allow most orders shipped between October 1 – December 31, 2020 to be returned through January 31, 2021. That’s a whopping 3-4 month return policy for items purchased in October.
Many retailers expand their return window for the holiday season. In prior years Amazon’s policy was to extend November – December purchases through January 31; this year they added October as well. Notably, that will include Prime Day purchases from October 13-14 which makes it easier when buying a Prime Day deal for the holidays.
I can’t find it officially displaying anywhere on the Amazon site (let me know if you see it somewhere), but it’s being discussed in seller forums for the past couple of weeks when sellers were informed of this new policy (see here, for example). Sellers are rather unhappy with the news. In any case, it’s certainly a nice feature for consumers.
