Purchased a new computer recently, but realize it's not quite meeting your needs? Our computer return policy has you covered.
We know that sometimes things don't go according to plan, and that includes your purchases. So, whether you've purchased a laptop, desktop, or tablet, you can return that item in its original condition within 30 days of purchase or delivery.
Our dedicated team is always ready to help with any questions or concerns. At B&H, we believe in giving you the best shopping experience possible, and that includes a return policy designed with your needs in mind.
So how does it work? You can initiate a return exchange online, by phone, or via Live Chat within that 30-day window from purchase. Return the item in its original condition, including all accessories and packaging, and get a full refund or exchange for another product that better suits your needs.
To ensure the return process goes smoothly, remove any personal information or login credentials and sign out of Apple's Find My feature (if you're returning an Apple device) to prevent any potential issues with tracking or security. We require that you sign out of all services and restore your device to factory settings before returning it, making sure to back up any important files or data first, as this will erase all your content.
Please note that computers built or modified by B&H to customer specifications are not returnable. This includes custom-built laptops and desktops that have been designed and assembled specifically to meet your needs. If you're unsure about the return policy of a particular computer, please contact our sales team before making a purchase.
