Re:Amazon refused to refund $7k after shipping an empty box ... by kevindong on Sunday May 30, 2021 @11:30AM (#27333927)
It's not mandated anywhere in US law, but the vast majority of reputable retailers (e.g. Walmart, Amazon, Target etc.) have very generous return policies. They're usually far more generous than 14 days. As you might expect, there are of course reasonable limitations (e.g. customized products, digital products, etc.).

Amazon: 30 days https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=...

Yet very often they charge restocking fees which is unheard of here. And also these policies are up to their discretion. As you can see in e.g. Walmart’s policy they reserve the right to decline the refund. Better to have a guarantee by having it in the law. Again as stated before, Amazon is known to shut down accounts for returning too often.
