Looking back 30 days

Counting 30 days back is the quickest way to check whether something is still inside a 30-day window — a return, a refund request, a price-match guarantee or a billing dispute.

Is my purchase still returnable?

If your purchase or delivery date is on or after the date above, you're likely still inside a 30-day window. If the retailer counts from purchase and the item arrived late, ask — many will honor the delivery date.

"Last 30 days" reports

Analytics dashboards and bank statements labeled "last 30 days" usually cover the date above through yesterday or today, depending on the tool. That's not the same as "last month".

General information, not legal, tax or immigration advice. For deadlines with consequences, confirm the rule with the official source.
