Returning or exchanging an item at a store

Before heading to your local store, read our Return and Exchange policies to see if your item is eligible for a return or exchange. If your item is eligible, both in-store or online purchases can be returned or exchanged at a Best Buy store in Canada.

Please keep in mind the following:

  • Cell phones purchased from a Best Buy Express store must be returned or exchanged at the same store location.
  • Cell phones purchased from a Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile store can be returned or exchanged at any Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile store, but not at a Best Buy Express store.
  • Marketplace product purchases cannot be returned or exchanged at a Best Buy store. If you purchased a Marketplace product through our site, you will need to follow the process for returning a Marketplace item.
