Costco Black Friday return policy 2026

Short answer: Most Costco merchandise has no fixed return deadline under its Risk-Free 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Electronics are the exception: TVs, computers, tablets, phones, cameras, smart wearables, drones and major appliances must come back within 90 days of receipt. That's Feb 25, 2027 for a Black Friday purchase and Feb 28, 2027 for Cyber Monday.

Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026 and Cyber Monday is Nov 30, 2026. Costco counts the 90-day electronics window from the date you received the merchandise.

2026 holiday extension: None stated (most items have no deadline)

No extension stated

Costco's return policy answer (published Oct 2, 2025; fetched Oct 19, 2026) mentions no holiday extension. Most merchandise doesn't need one, because Costco's satisfaction guarantee sets no fixed window. The 90-day electronics limit is the deadline to watch.

Return-by dates for Black Friday and Cyber Monday buys

Most merchandise	No fixed window (satisfaction guarantee, with exceptions)	No fixed deadline	No fixed deadline

The date math

TVs, projectors, major appliances, computers, tablets, smart wearables, cameras, drones, camcorders, MP3 players, cell phones (90 days): Nov 27 + 90 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, all of December brings it to 34, all of January brings it to 65, 25 more days = Feb 25, 2027. Cyber Monday: Nov 30 + 90 days: all of December brings it to 31, all of January brings it to 62, 28 more days = Feb 28, 2027.
Recreational carts ordered online (90 days): Nov 27 + 90 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, all of December brings it to 34, all of January brings it to 65, 25 more days = Feb 25, 2027. Cyber Monday: Nov 30 + 90 days: all of December brings it to 31, all of January brings it to 62, 28 more days = Feb 28, 2027.

How we count: the day after the purchase (or delivery) is day 1, so we add the number of days to the date. If a store counts the purchase day itself as day 1, the deadline is one day earlier. Aim to return a day early, and go by the date on your receipt or order page.

Traps to watch

For cell phones, Costco says return details vary by carrier service contract.
Custom Special Order Kiosk and custom-installed products can't be returned except for warranty repair or replacement.
To return a diamond of 1.00 carat or more, you need the original IGI or GIA paperwork.

Price drops after Black Friday

Costco.com orders: if the price drops within 30 days of purchase, you can request a price match. For Black Friday, Nov 27 + 30 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, 27 more days = Dec 27, 2026. For items with set sale dates (for example Holiday Savings promotions), you have to ask while the promotion is still running and within 30 days.
For warehouse purchases, ask at the Returns counter of the warehouse where you bought it. Costco doesn't match other retailers' prices.
