Walmart return policy
Walmart says that in most cases you have 90 days to return items bought from it, online or in store. Some categories have shorter windows (such as 2 days for major appliances and 30 days for consumer electronics), and some items can't be returned at all.

The 90-day window is the general one ("in most cases"); many categories have shorter or longer windows, listed in exclusions. The page's list layout is ambiguous about which number belongs to which category: it reads as number-then-category, so "30 days Vacuums and floor care" and "60 days Hearing aids" and "60 days Prescription glasses and contact lenses" and "365 days Perennials, shrubs, trees", with "Final Sale Items" having no window. Marketplace sellers are generally 30 days. Return method eligibility varies by item. Page links to a more detailed policy. Refund timing depends on payment method (cash immediate; cards and EBT about 7 days; Walmart Balance, gift card and Walmart Cash about 3 hours). The page does not mention price adjustments.

More than this page shows
Walmart also publishes 15 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.

No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever Walmart offers, and sometimes gives you more.
