There are some things in life you can’t do, but returning an item to Walmart is usually on the OK list. However, there are 13 things you can never return to a Walmart in Missouri or Illinois. This list includes some things that might surprise you.
My father used to be a door greeter for Walmart at the Hannibal, Missouri store, and I have many friends who also work at the Walmart store in Quincy, Illinois. However, I don’t consider myself a Walmart expert. Therefore, for this listing, we went directly to the store return policy details on Walmart’s website.
Items that cannot be returned to Walmart for any reason include: The company’s website states that these products “are not eligible for exchanges, returns, or refunds.”
Firearms and ammunition cannot be taken home with returns.
This category includes “Airguns & Airsoft Guns, BB Guns, Crossbows, Vertical Bows/Archery Bows”.
Do not bring pepper spray cans, used or unused, into the store.
This includes “dirt bikes, mini bikes, go-karts, scooters, ride-ons, UTVs, and ATVs.”
Walmart’s return policy states that “used or installed tires, wheels, rims, and snow tires” cannot be returned.
Trading cards, opened or unopened, cannot be returned to Walmart.
This prohibition includes “RV sewer lines, toilets, commodes, and urinals (used or installed).”
Walmart says it cannot take away “gold bars, silver coins, or currency.” Could you please tell me where is the gold bar corner in the store? I’m looking for friends.
Adult toys, pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, and home diagnostic test kits (including COVID-19 tests) are prohibited.
All “prescription drugs and medical devices” purchased from Walmart must be kept. sorry.
I don’t go to pharmacy school, so I have to check the labels to see if anything I buy at Walmart contains “pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine.”
This category includes “meters, strips, lancets, lancet devices and syringes”.
This broad category includes “toilet bowls, bath sheets, sitz baths, eye drop guides, and opened/opened breast pumps.”
Please be sure to review Walmart’s official return policy yourself, as these return policies are subject to modification and change. I’m sure the store staff will be able to answer your questions as well.
