What is the Dell Return Policy?

What is the Dell Return Policy
  • Dell offers you the option to return most products you purchase directly from Dell. 
  • For all purchases not made directly from Dell, please check the return policy of the location from which you purchased your product. 
  • If your purchase qualifies for a promotion offered by Dell that extends the return period for a specific product, the return rights and obligations included with the promotion will apply to your purchase. 

30-Day Return Period for Certain Products and Accessories

  • Unless you have a separate agreement with Dell, or except as provided below, all hardware, accessories, peripherals, and parts may be returned if requested and approved by Dell within 30 calendar days from the date on the packing slip or invoice for a refund or credit of the purchase price paid. 
  • Note that your refund or credit may be reduced by the amount of shipping and handling fees and any applicable restocking fees (as further described below). 
  • Any product returned to Dell without prior authorization from Dell will be considered an unauthorized return, and you will not receive a refund or credit for the product and Dell will not ship the product back to you. 
  • All approved returns must be received by Dell within 30 calendar days of the return approval date otherwise the amount of refund or credit may be reduced or eliminated if the product(s) are returned late.

Exceptions to Dell’s 30-Day Return Period

Software may not be returned at any time unless the software being returned is:

  1. Application software or operating systems installed by Dell on a returnable system that is being returned within the applicable return period.
  2. Media-based software that is unopened and still in its sealed package or, if delivered electronically, software that you have not accepted by clicking to agree to applicable terms.

How to Return a Product

How to Return a Product
  • Before returning a product, you MUST first contact Dell customer service and obtain a Credit Return Authorization (CRA) number before the end of the applicable return period. 
  • Dell will not accept returns without a CRA number. 
  • To find the appropriate phone number or to send an email to customer service to request a CRA number, go to www.dell.com/contactus or see the “Contacting Dell” or “Getting Help” section of your customer documentation. To initiate a return online, please click here.

You MUST follow these steps when returning a product:  

  • Ship the product to Dell. Please note that all approved returns must be received by Dell within 30 days of the date that Dell issues the return authorization and instructions.  
  • Ship back all products you are seeking to return to Dell and for which you received a CRA number. 
  • For partial returns, your refund or credit may be less than the invoice or individual component price due to bundled or promotional pricing or any unadvertised discounts or concessions.
  • Return the products in their original packaging, in as-new condition, along with any media, documentation and any other items that were included in your original shipment.
  • For customers returning a TV, the TV must be returned in the original packaging it was received in (including box and protective cushioning). If you do not have the original packaging, you must provide separate packaging.
  • For commercial customers, you must ship the products at your expense, and make sure the shipment is insured, or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment.
