How returns work

You can return items by mail through Anker.com. To start, submit a return request with your order number and the email address used at purchase. If you have an Anker account, you can manage your return through your order history. If you made a guest purchase without an account, you can register using your purchase email address. Once approved, ship the item in its original packaging to Anker's warehouse.

Exclusions and restrictions

The following items cannot be returned: products showing visible wear, damage, or signs of use; free gifts and promotional items; corporate purchases and bulk orders; and mystery box promotions and early bird campaigns. Additionally, certain product categories including solar generators, power stations, solar panels, powered coolers, Soundcore products, eufy products, Nebula products, AnkerWork products, and AnkerMake products are governed by their own separate policies.

Refunds

Anker processes refunds to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days of receiving and inspecting your return. For returns initiated due to quality defects, Anker may offer a replacement with a factory-refurbished or new item at its discretion, which may differ in appearance or features from the original.
