Amazon Updates Return Policy — Look Out for This New Warning at Checkout

Amazon is quietly rolling out a new “Final Sale” label on select products—a notable shift from the company’s long-standing, customer-friendly return policy. For years, shoppers have relied on Amazon’s easy return process, but that convenience is starting to change.

Now, some product pages feature a prominent red “Final Sale” banner above the price, along with a warning in the Returns section: “Final Sale – no returns allowed.” You’ll even see the same notice in your cart before placing the order, serving as a final reminder.

This policy isn’t appearing on all items, but it’s becoming more common—even for products shipped and sold directly by Amazon.

We’ll highlight “Final Sale” items in our posts whenever possible, but it’s smart to stay alert and double-check product listings before making a purchase.

Just because it’s sold by Amazon no longer guarantees it’s returnable.
