Walmart is known for providing a huge variety of discounted items to customers. Walmart Supercenter stores, though popular, are sometimes few and far between, especially in cities or more urban locations. However, Walmart in recent years has introduced its Walmart Neighborhood Market stores which are essentially just like Walmart, but on a smaller scale. In this article, you’ll learn more about Walmart Neighborhood Market stores and how they’re different than regular Walmart stores.

What Exactly Is a Walmart Neighborhood Market?

Walmart Neighborhood Markets are smaller-sized Walmart stores that give the same low prices as a traditional Walmart, just with a smaller store size.

Neighborhood Markets are more convenient and accessible and tend to have more local items, better service, and some healthier food options.

Think of them more inline with the size of a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.

What is Their Return Policy?

You have 14 days to return electronics and luxury items at Walmart Neighborhood Market stores.

Also, it’s worth noting that you CAN return stuff from a Walmart to a Neighborhood Market and vice versa.

Electronics include the following:

– Computers

– Computer and video game hardware

– Printers (excluding 3D printers)

– Camcorders

– Digital cameras

– GPS units

– Digital music players

– Tablets/e-Readers

– Portable video players

– Pre-paid and post-paid cell phones

And, luxury items include the following:

– New and preowned apparel above $300

– Memorabilia

For all other items, you have 30 days to return them.

When it comes to whether you can return Walmart Neighborhood Market store items to a regular Walmart (and vice versa), the answer is: yes and no.

As long as the store sells that item at its location, then you CAN make a return.

However, if it doesn’t, you may be asked to return it to the other store.

For example, if you bought something at a regular Walmart Supercenter store and try to return it at a Walmart Neighborhood Market store, they will only accept the return as long they sell the product at the Neighborhood Market store too.

Otherwise, you’ll probably be asked to return it to a Supercenter location.
