Frequently asked questions
Can I return an item that I bought online to a club?
Most purchases made on SamsClub.com may be returned to any Sam’s Club location in the United States. If an item purchased online cannot be returned to a Sam’s Club location, it will be noted on the product page. Golf carts and vending machines are examples of items purchased online that cannot be returned to a local Sam’s Club.
Can I use the online returns process for an item that I bought in a club?
Unfortunately, SamsClub.com is unable to process returns for purchases made in a club.
How do I request a return through SamsClub.com?
To start a return through SamsClub.com, go to order details under your account, then select Return Item. Print the return label, attach to package and send.
Alternatively, you can call the Member Service Center at 888-746-7726, and we’ll be ready to assist you. Please have your membership number and order number available.
Will shipping and delivery charges be refunded?
Shipping and delivery charges will be refunded or credited only if the return is a result of an error by Sam’s Club or if the item was damaged during shipping.
What if I don't have a receipt?
We prefer your original receipt or printed order, but if that’s not available, we’ll do our best to process your return without it.
Do I need to return the packaging and everything that came with the product?
To obtain a full refund, you may be required to return the product with all product and order contents, including packaging (boxes, manuals, warranty cards, etc.), parts and accessories. This includes promotional gifts, gift cards or shopping cards provided with the purchase. There are some instances in which we may have to deny the refund in full or provide a partial refund if only part of the purchase is returned.
How will I receive my refund?
For items returned to a Sam’s Club location, you’ll receive credit or cash in the original form of payment or a Sam’s Club shopping card unless prohibited or restricted by law or regulations.
For items returned through SamsClub.com, you'll receive credit to the account that was charged at the time of purchase.
How will I receive my refund if payment was made using SNAP/EBT?
SNAP-eligible items purchased through SNAP can be refunded to the member’s SNAP EBT account within 90 days of purchase or exchanged for the same item.

What is considered a truckload purchase? Is it returnable?
A Truckload order is any order that exceeds $10,000 or consists of 20+ pallets. Orders can be mixed pallets or full truckload orders. Items can be a mix of multiple items (water, toilet paper, sugar, etc.). See https://www.samsclub.com/cp/truckload/30002242 for additional details.
Truckload purchases cannot be returned, except in the case of manufacturer defects or damage. Sam’s Club members who request online orders to ship to a third-party facility or to a freight forwarder are responsible for auditing and ensuring their orders arrive complete and free of damage.

Note: Truckload orders delivered directly to members may be subject to specific delivery requirements. Details related to your order will be provided at the time it is accepted. Refunds will not be issued if the member is unable to meet the required delivery conditions.
What if my order is not delivered?
Packages may be returned to us as undeliverable
When a package isn’t delivered by our carrier, we’ll issue a full refund to your original payment method. We’ll also send a corresponding email to confirm the return and your refund details.
Reasons your package may not be delivered:
- Wrong or outdated address. Make sure the address you’ve entered is accurate. To add, edit or delete addresses, go to Address book
- Our system doesn’t recognize the address entered, or our carrier can’t deliver to that address
- The package was damaged during transit. If this happens, the carrier may choose to return it to us without attempting delivery
- The address was illegible. Address labels can occasionally be damaged or smeared. In those cases, the package is returned to us
- The carrier attempted delivery but failed. Our carrier will make multiple attempts, but if all should fail the package is returned to us
We’re unable to re-ship items that our carrier deems undeliverable and returns to us. To purchase an item that wasn’t delivered, you’ll need to place a new order.
If you haven’t received word about an order being returned nor received a refund a month after the estimated delivery date, contact us.
Returns of certain products and services may be governed by law. Some services and products may be offered with their own return policy, product-specific warranties, limitations, restrictions and/or requirements, including but not limited to automotive tires and batteries, protection plans, services such as subscriptions and travel, and contact lenses ordered online. Other limitations, restrictions, requirements and policies may apply and may vary by product or club. See Terms and Conditions for full policy.
