  4. Contact information provided when the order was placed (your name, address, and phone number are required when processing all returns and exchanges for purposes of detecting and preventing fraud).

In-Store Purchases and Reserve and Pick Up orders:
To return or exchange an item purchased in store, you can go to any Best Buy retail store within the country where the purchase was made. Proceed to the Customer Service counter and present your item(s) along with all the required documentation (listed above). Refunds will be processed with the original method of payment. For purchases made with a credit card, the same card used to make the purchase will be credited with the refund. The credit will be made within 5 to 7 business days of us receiving and verifying the returned merchandise. For purchases made with a gift card, if the original was discarded, a new gift card will be issued for the refund amount.

Online Orders:
When you receive your package, we ask that you examine it closely prior to opening the factory sealed product packaging. If you are not satisfied with your order, you may exchange or return your product at any Best Buy retail store in Canada. For your convenience, we also accept returns by mail for orders that were shipped directly to you. Please contact us at 1-866-237-8289 to request your Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. It will take approximately 2 business days before an RMA is issued to you. IMPORTANT: Packages returned without an RMA number will be refused. Your RMA number is valid for 14 days.

Shipping and handling (S&H) charges are non-refundable; however, we will gladly refund your original shipping cost if you are returning an item because of an error on our part or we have determined that the product is defective.

Scheduled Delivery Items & Service Plans:
For information on how to return large items that required Scheduled Delivery, Performance Service Plans or other special items, please contact us at 1-866-237-8289 or click on the link in your Scheduled Delivery Notification email to correspond directly with our Home Delivery experts if the item will require pickup.

Free gifts, Bundles, and Fees:
All products (both defective and non-defective) must be returned in their original purchase condition, with the original packing material, blank warranty cards, manuals and any other item or accessory provided by the manufacturer. If the purchase included a free gift, to qualify for a full refund, the free gift must also be returned.

If you purchased an item as part of a bundle package, you may return that item separately. However, if you decide to break up that bundle by returning an item, the price of all items in the bundle reverts to what they would be if they were purchased individually. Therefore, you will receive a refund for the returned item that is less than the price you paid for it when you purchased it as part of a bundle.

If you were changed an environmental handling fee with your purchase, the fee will be refunded as well along with the cost of the item(s).
