How to exchange a product

First of all, open your Flipkart app. After opening the app, you will see the hamburger icon in the top-right corner, tap on that icon and then tap on ‘My Orders’.

Now, you’ll see all your orders. Under every Flipkart order, you will find ‘Return‘ option. You have to press the return option below the product that you want to return.

Here is one thing to note that the replacement period of every product is different. Electronic products can be exchanged within 10 days. Similarly clothing and footwear related products come with 30 days exchange or return policy. Therefore before exchanging or returning product on Flipkart read Flipkart refund policy.

Each product has a different replacement period and you can return your product only within this period. After the expiration of the period you will not be able to exchange or return product on Flipkart. For example, the headphones, given in the screenshot above, have come with 10-days return policy, if I try to replace them after 10 days then I would not be able to do so.

So this is the thing you have to take care of.

Now, on the next page, tap on ‘Reason for return‘ and select a reason why you want to return the product purchased from Flipkart. After that again choose a reason. In the comments field, write why are you doing so.

After entering/selecting all the information/options, tap on the Continue button.

Now tap on the drop-down menu below the ‘Return Options’. There you will find two options:

• Replacement of same product: Choose this option if you want to exchange product on Flipkart.
• Refund: Select ‘Refund’ if you want to return product on Flipkart and get full refund.

Note: Some products come with only replacement policy which means you cannot get refund. But you can request the seller to exchange your product. Similarly, if you see both options given above, then it depends on you whether you want refund or exchange product on Flipkart. Here I have only one option and I can only exchange, I can get refund of my money by returning it.

So here I am selecting the ‘Replacement of same product‘ option to explain the next steps.

Note: Keep in mind that product should be with its original tags. If you’re returning /exchanging any product related to clothing or shoes, you will also see more options in which you will be asked to select the new size. For example, if you have bought UK7 number shoes then you will be able to exchange them with smaller or larger size.

After that choose your pickup address. You delivery address will be selected as pickup address, by default, however, you can change pickup address; if you want.

After selecting pickup address, tap on ‘Confirm Return‘.

That’s it! You have successfully applied for product exchange on Flipkart. Now the seller will send you a new product. When the new product is delivered to you, the delivery boy will take the old product.
