Thereof, can you return open items to Best Buy?
There's a 15-45 day open-item return/ exchange policy (outside of the holidays which are extended.) 15 days is the standard policy for most customers. 30 and 45 days are offered to Best Buy Elite and Elite Plus members respectively.
Subsequently, question is, what does Best Buy do with returns? At Best Buy, returning too many items within a short time can hurt a person's score, as can returning high-theft items such as digital cameras. Every time shoppers return purchases to Best Buy Co., they are tracked by a company that has the power to override the store's touted policy and refuse to refund their money.
Accordingly, can you return a camera after using it?
If you're unhappy with your camera, or camcorder or lens, you may exchange or return it within 30 days after your purchase. Please note that for a return, you must have original receipt and packaging. There is a minimum 10% restocking fee on all items that are $1500 or more.
Does Best Buy have a restocking fee?
Best Buy eliminated most restocking fees on returns as of this past Saturday. The retailer will still charge a restocking fee on special order items, which according to its Web site, is a whopping 25 percent. Previously, customers were charged a 15 percent restocking fees on most electronics in the store.
