Not every item is returnable. The categories that block returns are consistent across most platforms: personalized goods, hygiene items, digital products, and some bulky goods.

Apparel, footwear, electronics in original packaging, accessories, and most home items within 30 days.
Non-returnable categories
Personalized or engraved items, opened beauty/personal-care, perishables, digital downloads, and gift cards.
Time limits
Standard: 30 days. Holiday: extended (often through January). Apparel-tier: 30-100 days depending on platform.
