Hassle Free Returns for In-Store Purchases

We want to be your trusted source for photographic gear by delivering the best advice, service and convenience, all at competitive prices. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, let us help you with a replacement, return or repair as applicable.

Returns for Store Purchases

We offer a 7-day refund and/or exchange for most merchandise. All items considered for refund or exchange must be returned in "as new" condition, free of visible marks, scratches or defects, and complete with all components and packaging materials. After 7 days, all merchandise is considered used and may be considered for trade-in purposes only. All returns are subject to inspection and return approval by a Mike's Camera management crew member.

The following conditions must be met for products to qualify for refunds or exchanges

  • The item must be accompanied by the original receipt (not a copy).
  • The total will be refunded by your original method of payment or a Mike's Camera Gift Card.
  • If refunded by credit card or debit, the original cardholder must be present.
  • Cash purchases totaling more than $50.00 will be refunded by check, and may take up to 10 business days to process.

Restocking Fees

If Mike's Camera determines that an item is returnable but does not meet all Mike's Camera guidelines for “As New Product”, such as missing all the original packaging or accessories, that's okay too. We can process a return with a nonrefundable deduction on your refund for what is missing in the form of a restocking fee. The fee charged may vary according to the item's condition, the state of the item's packaging and the item value. Mike's Camera reserves the right to refuse the refund of any product that does not meet these criteria.

Gift Cards

Mike's Camera gift cards cannot be redeemed for cash.

Return of Shipping Fees

If you return an item using a prepaid method after receiving a Return Authorization and the reason for return is not a result of a Mike’s Camera error, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
