Online Return Policy - How to return a product purchased online from AutoZone:
Product Return to an AutoZone store
To return a product to an AutoZone store, simply take the product, in its original packaging and/or box, to the store of your choice along with your receipt. You must drain all fluids, if any, from the product before returning it.* It's recommended that you take the credit card used to purchase the product so the store can credit your card for the price of the product. If you do not have the credit card, or you purchased with PayPal or another digital payment method, simply present your receipt and the product, and the store will reimburse your account.
All returns to an AutoZone store are subject to the Store Return Policy, and not all products are eligible for returns. For instance, all sales of customized items are final, and not eligible for returns.
Product Return by Mail
To return a product AutoZone shipped to you by mail, fill out the Return Form (found in Section B of your Shipping Invoice) and include it with the product in its original packaging and/or box. Before packing be sure to first drain all fluids, if any, from the product.*
You will be reimbursed for shipping costs only if AutoZone made a shipping error or if the product was defective when shipped by AutoZone. Please complete the "Return Reasons Code" section of this form and refer to the Customer Care Center number provided to make shipping arrangements.
If you are shipping from a location within the United States, and if either (i) AutoZone made a shipping error or (ii) the product was defective when shipped from AutoZone's Fulfillment Center, AutoZone will provide you with a prepaid return shipping label. Simply place the shipping label on the outside of the box and drop off the package at a shipping facility of your choice.
If you are shipping from an overseas location or a U.S. Territory and if either (i) AutoZone made a shipping error or (ii) the product was defective when shipped from AutoZone's Fulfillment Center, AutoZone will reimburse your return shipping cost by issuing a check for the shipping dollar amount as it appears on the carrier's pre-printed label. Simply enclose the carrier's pre-printed label indicating the amount of the shipping charge when you return the item.
AutoZone recommends that you return the product to the AutoZone Fulfillment Center using a carrier that provides package tracking services to ensure your product gets back to AutoZone safely and quickly. If product is return-eligible, your credit card will be credited for the full price of the product, but your shipping charges will not be reimbursed.
Gift Card Sales Policy
Whether purchased online or in-store, all gift card sales are final and gift cards cannot be returned.
NOT ALL PRODUCTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RETURNS. ALL SALES OF CUSTOMIZED ITEMS ARE FINAL AND NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETURNS. IN ALL CASES, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING AND COMPLYING WITH PROPER SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR SELECTED CARRIER.
Core Return Policy
What is a core?
When a vehicle is repaired, the old or failed part that was replaced is called a core. These cores are then remanufactured (recycled) by companies to original equipment specifications. Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the faulty and/or worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. The testing and procedures are the same as the original equipment manufacturers.
Your shipment or other return of any core or other product to AutoZone or AutoZone.com is considered a transfer of ownership, and AutoZone will be unable to return the core or other product to you.
Core Return to an AutoZone store
To return a core to an AutoZone store, simply take the product, in its original packaging and/or box, to the store of your choice along with your receipt. You must drain all fluids, if any, from the product before returning it.*
AutoZone recommends that you take the credit card used to purchase the new product so the store can credit your card for the value of the core, assuming the core passes inspection. If you do not have the credit card, or you purchased the product with PayPal or another payment method, simply present your receipt, and upon the core passing the inspection, the store will reimburse your account for the value of the returned core.
If the core does not pass inspection, you will not be reimbursed for it and the core will be returned to you.
Core Return by Mail
To return a core to AutoZone by mail, first drain all fluids, if any, from the product.* Then fill out the Return Form (found in Section B of your Shipping Invoice) and include it along with the core in the original packaging and/or box in which it was received.
To mail the core, simply place the return shipping label on the outside of the box and drop off the package at a shipping facility of your choice. You are responsible for verifying and complying with proper shipping requirements of your selected carrier.
Please note when returning a core, you will not be reimbursed for shipping costs incurred in shipping the core to AutoZone.
Assuming the core passes inspection, the credit card you used to purchase the new product will be credited in the amount of the core's value as indicated by the inspection. If you do not have the credit card, or you purchased with PayPal or another payment method, simply enclose a copy of your receipt and the product, and AutoZone will credit your account in the amount of the value of the core. If the core does not pass inspection, you will not be reimbursed for it.
*Please recycle or properly dispose of fluids drained from the returned part. The parts must be free of all flammable and hazardous fluids before shipment. Many AutoZone stores have a free recycling program. If you do not live near an AutoZone store, or the AutoZone in your area does not have a recycling program, contact your local recycling agency for instructions on proper disposal.
