Returns are a hassle. They will give you the runaround at customer service if any item is from a “third party seller” which isn’t made clear when you purchase.

Also a relative bought an item that required assembly and paid for both the item and assembly. The item came but the assembler didn’t so the item was returned but Walmart wouldn’t refund anything. After numerous calls promising a refund over the course of a month one phone rep said to contact the bank and dispute the purchase. That’s the only way we got the money back.
