How do I request a refund from a merchant?

The quickest way to request a refund or correct a charge is usually by contacting the merchant directly.

If you bought something in person/at a retail location:

  • Call or visit the store to request a refund.

  • Bring your receipt if you have it—it can help speed up the process.

If you made your purchase online:

  • Search for the merchant’s name plus “refunds” or “returns” to find their policy.

  • Check the “Contact Us” or “Customer Support” section on the merchant’s website.

  • If you're asked to submit a message, describe the issue clearly and include photos or documents if needed.


Providing specific details can help resolve your request more quickly.
