What Is The Policy For No-Receipt Returns?
At Kroger, there are two sorts of receipts: digital and paper. Except for checks, which are paid in cash, you will be refunded to the original payment method you used for the transaction if you have any form of receipt for the products you’re returning.
Even if customers are unable to show the original digital or paper receipt for their purchases, Kroger will still accept returns.
Customers will receive a Merchandise Gift Card for purchases over $10.00 in this situation, which may be used to purchase any other item in the store and requires customers to sign the return slip.
You will receive a refund in the form of cash for products with a value of less than $10.00.
If you want to return things without the receipt, you will not be asked to produce a government-issued photo ID at Kroger.
What Is The Policy For Food Returns?
Returns are normally accepted for all items purchased from Kroger’s family of stores, although many food products are subject to the following policies:
Baby formula
It will only be returned if the original receipt can be provided.
Alcohol and tobacco products
The eligibility of these items is determined by state laws governing the return of alcohol and tobacco products.
WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) goods
These items will only be exchanged for equivalent food packages at Kroger (i.e. you cannot get a refund for these products).
Perishable foods
Food and flowers that are perishable cannot be returned to Kroger. This is due to the possibility that they have been opened and/or used, rendering them unfit for resale.
