Refund requests for Best Buy pick-up orders
Updated
If you bought something on Samsung.com or through the Shop Samsung App and chose to pick it up at a Best Buy location, you can return it to any participating Best Buy store within 15 days of pickup. You don’t need to start the return online first; just bring the order to your nearest participating Best Buy.
Once Best Buy accepts the return, Samsung issues the refund to your original payment method within 10 business days, and your bank may take another 5-7 business days to post it.

How Do I Return to Best Buy?
If you picked the order up at a Best Buy store
Bring the item, in its original packaging with all included accessories, to any participating Best Buy store. You don’t have to return it at the same store where you picked it up.
Bring your Samsung order confirmation or order number.
Best Buy staff will process the return on-site.
You don’t need to request a return from Samsung’s Order Support team first, and you don’t need a return shipping label.
If your order was delivered by Best Buy's same-day or next-day delivery service

Take the item to any participating Best Buy store, or
Contact Samsung’s Order Support team and ask them to generate a return shipping label (for small items, like smartphones) or schedule a pickup with a carrier (for large items, like a refrigerator)
When Will I Get My Refund?
Total time from drop-off to receiving your refund in your account is typically 10 to 17 business days. Here’s what has to happen:

Then, Samsung issues the refund to your original payment method up to 10 business days after the return is accepted
Lastly, your bank or card issuer posts the refund after 5-7 business days
Refunds are always returned to the original payment method used on the order. Samsung can’t refund to a different card, account, or store credit.
