But fear not, weary shopper! This guide will turn you into a return ninja, a champion of unwanted items, a master of the art of "thanks, but no thanks."

- Ludicrous Speed Activated: Returning to a Store
Maybe you miss the human touch (or maybe you need another bag of gummy bears while you're at it). Select "return to store" and a nifty barcode will appear on your screen. Just show this barcode or your return confirmation email to a friendly customer service associate at your local Walmart, and they'll handle the rest. Bonus points for using the Walmart app to initiate a curbside return! Just park in a designated spot and follow the app's instructions for a contactless return experience.
Important Side Note: Some items might have specific return instructions, so keep an eye out for any special requirements during the return process.
