About this tool
Track shopping return windows, refund status, and deadlines with futuristic precision.
The Return Deadline Tracker calculates the last day you can send a purchase back by adding the retailer's published return window to the correct start date — the delivery date for Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra, the purchase date for Walmart, Target, Best Buy and IKEA. It covers 13 built-in policies plus statutory windows, including the EU's 14-day withdrawal period under Directive 2011/83/EU and the UK's 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. It is for online shoppers juggling several open orders who want one list of what expires when.
Open Return Deadline Tracker on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Enter 'What did you buy?' and choose 'Retailer or policy' from the built-in list, which shows each policy's day count, or set your own 'Return window (days)'.
Fill 'Purchase date' and 'Delivery date', set 'Today' and pick the 'Return status'.
Read the deadline, then press 'Add to tracked list' to build the 'Tracked purchases' table, or 'Copy result' to take the dates with you.
Amazon counts 30 days from delivery, Walmart 90 from purchase — the tool applies each rule correctly.
EU and UK online-cancellation rights are listed alongside shop policies so you know your legal floor.
Weekends are excluded, matching how card settlement actually works.
30 days from delivery for most items on Amazon US, and 10 days from delivery on Amazon India for most categories. A few categories are shorter — cell phones and large appliances in particular — so check the return-by date shown on the order page, which is the date Amazon will actually enforce.
It depends on the retailer. Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra count from delivery; Walmart, Target, Best Buy, IKEA, Zara and H&M count from the purchase or receipt date. Getting this wrong on a 14 or 15-day window is the most common reason a return is refused, which is why this tool asks for both dates.
Typically 5 to 10 business days after the retailer receives and inspects the item, which is card-network settlement time rather than retailer delay. Weekends do not count, so a return received on a Friday often posts between the following Friday and the Friday after that.
For goods bought online, the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU gives 14 days from receiving the goods to withdraw from the contract, and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give 14 days to cancel plus a further 14 days to send the goods back. Shops may offer longer, but they cannot offer less on a distance sale.
