Amazon announced its extended holiday return policy for 2026: items purchased between November 1 and December 31 can be returned until January 31, 2027 (Apple products until January 15). The policy automatically applies to both seller-fulfilled and FBA orders. Amazon said this move aims to boost traffic during the year-end shopping season and, for the first time, clearly informs sellers that this policy will be used every year, instead of waiting for a separate announcement in the fall like in previous years.
