My dad used to be a Walmart door greeter at the Hannibal, Missouri store and I have many friends who also work at the Quincy, Illinois Walmart store. However, I do not consider myself a Walmart expert which is why I went directly to the detailed store return policy on the Walmart website for this list.

Here are the things you can never return to Walmart for any reason. The corporate site says these are the items they "will not replace, accept returns, or provide refunds for".

Firearms & Ammunition are not allowed to be brought back on a return.

This category includes "Airsoft & Air Guns, BB Guns, Crossbows, Vertical/Archery bows".

Don't bring your pepper spray cans back to the store used or unused.

This includes "Dirt Bikes, Mini-Bikes, Go-Carts, Scooters, Ride-ons, UTVs & ATVs".

The Walmart return policy says you can't return "Used or Mounted Tires, Wheels, Rims, Snow Tires".

Trading cards aren't returnable to Walmart opened or unopened.

This no-no includes "RV sewer lines, toilets, toilet bowls and urinals (used or installed)".

Walmart says you can't bring back "gold bars, silver coins, currency". Please tell me where the gold bar section of the store is. Asking for a friend.

You're not allowed to bring in (*ahem*) adult "toys" or "Pregnancy Tests, Ovulation Tests, & Home Diagnostic Testing Kits (including COVID-19 tests)".

You have to keep any "Prescription Medications and Devices" you buy from Walmart. Sorry.

Since I didn't go to pharmacy school, you'll need to check the labels to see if what you bought at Walmart has "pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine" in it.

This category includes "meters, strips, lancets, lancet devices & syringes".

This big category includes "bedpans, bath seats, sitz baths, eye drop guides, opened/unsealed breast pumps".

Since these return policies can be amended and changed, make sure to check the official Walmart return policy for yourself and I have no doubt the store associates can answer questions, too.
