When the clock starts
For the 90-day electronics and appliance window, the clock starts when you receive the item.
What can’t be returned
Airline and live-event tickets, precious metals, shop cards, gift cards and custom special orders.
Don’t lose the window
The famous “no limit” doesn’t apply to the TV. Ninety days from delivery is the date to remember.

Snap or share your Costco receipt into Hey Bungee. It reads the store, the total and the return date, and comes back a few days before the window closes. Free, on your iPhone, no account.
