Amazon recently updated its returns policy on tablets, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors, cameras and camera lens. If you bought it after May 11 or are planning to make a purchase on the e-commerce site, you should know that your product will not be eligible for a refund, only a replacement.
A statement on Amazon's website reads: "All tablets, laptops, desktops, monitors, cameras, and camera lenses that are fulfilled by Amazon and purchased on or after 11th May 2016 are eligible for a replacement only policy and will no longer be eligible for refunds. In case you have received a defective or a damaged product, you will be eligible for a free replacement."
Other product categories will still allow you to return items for a refund, even if you no longer need the item. However, in case of certain electronic products - mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, monitors, cameras, and camera lenses - the window to return a defective or damaged product is only ten days, and you can't return items you no longer require; all you can get now is a replacement. This is also the case with furniture.
