Prerequisites

Before starting a return, ensure you have:

Return Process (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Access the Return Portal

Choose one of the following options:

  • With MyPhilips Account
    • Log in to your account
    • Navigate to View active order history
    • Select the order you want to return
  • Without MyPhilips Account
    • Access the return page directly
    • Enter your order number and purchase email address

Step 2: Select Products

  • Tick the checkbox next to each product you want to return
  • Select the quantity per product

Important:

  • If returning multiple products, ensure they fit in one box
  • If multiple boxes are needed, create separate return requests per box

Step 3: Initiate Return

  • Click Return products

Step 4: Choose Return Type

Select one option:

  • Replacement (same item, subject to stock availability)
  • Refund

If only “Refund” is shown, the product is out of stock and cannot be replaced.


Step 5: Select Return Reason

  • Choose the appropriate reason from the drop-down list

Step 6: Packing & Shipping

  • Review the packing instructions
  • Download your FedEx return label
  • The return label is also sent via email

Special cases:
In some situations, Philips may request confirmation of product disposal instead of a physical return. In such cases, confirmation will be emailed and the refund or replacement will be processed accordingly.


Step 7: Drop Off Package

  • Use the suggested FedEx drop-off location
  • You may search for an alternative location if needed

Step 8: Return Processing

  • Once Philips receives and inspects the product:
    • Refund or replacement is processed
    • A confirmation email is sent

Step 9: Refund Completion

  • Refunds are issued to the original payment method
  • Only the relevant portion of the purchase price is refunded
  • All original parts must be included in the return
