Tips for Buying a Major Appliance

To help avoid returns and/or restocking fees, use these tips when buying a major appliance:

  • Research your options.
  • Measure the space to ensure fit.
  • Make sure the space has the right utilities, voltage, and plug type for your appliance.
  • Buy any necessary accessories for installation/use (E.g., hoses, plugs, vents).
  • Share any special delivery instructions with the delivery carrier (if necessary).
  • Develop a plan to assemble and install the item.

Accepting a Major Appliance Delivery

Before accepting delivery, inspect your appliance for defects/damage when it arrives.

  • If any exist, please notify the driver, ask for options, and/or refuse the delivery.
  • Discounts for defects/damage are at the MP seller’s discretion, so we recommend refusing delivery to avoid further complications.

Returns and Refunds

The customer may return a major appliance for a full refund within two days of accepting delivery.

  • Start the return in the Walmart app or at Walmart.com/returns.
    • Major appliances aren’t returnable to Walmart stores.

Unopened appliances

These are unopened, undamaged, and uninstalled appliances in original factory sealed packaging.

  • Customers can return these items to the seller within 30 days of accepting delivery in the original manufacturer packaging.
    • They are subject to an up to 20% restocking fee after the two-day time frame.

Opened/installed appliances

These are appliances where the customer (not the carrier) broke the factory seal or opened the product.

  • Exchanges and refunds after the two-day time frame are at the seller’s discretion.
    • If the seller denies the exchange or refund, refer to the manufacturer’s warranty.

Exceptions

  • The customer can return small appliances and dorm size and wine refrigerators within 90 days if sold in the store or fulfilled by Walmart.
