When is a buyer covered under the Amazon.com A-to-z Guarantee?
When is a product "materially different" than what the seller advertised?
If a seller has clearly misrepresented the condition or details of an item in a way that affects its value or utility, it is "materially different" and that seller should be willing to offer a refund or exchange within 30 days of shipment. If the seller does not accept the return of an item that is made in accordance with the seller's return policy, you may qualify for coverage under our A-to-z Guarantee. Please visit our Return Help pages for more information regarding returns.
Items are considered "materially different" in these circumstances:
When submitting an A-to-z Guarantee claim with the reason "materially different," you will need to select one of the reasons above and provide comments explaining why the item you received is materially different from the item you purchased.
Please note that this does not extend to cases where you are simply disappointed with an item. We will ultimately determine material difference at our discretion.
