Shops in Chile open roughly from 10:00 to 20:00, and in smaller towns many close for a while at lunchtime; malls and supermarkets open every day, Sundays included. On 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December, the mandatory retail holidays (feriados irrenunciables), malls and almost all shops close. Always ask for your receipt (boleta), and check exchange and return terms before paying. The local hardware shop sorts out small jobs and building suppliers deliver to the site; bring the measurements or the old part to avoid mistakes, and for outdoor work in rainy areas ask for paints and sealants made for damp.

The business lists hours for six days of the week. The most common schedule is 9:00–12:30 and 15:00–19:00. Like many businesses outside Santiago, it closes at lunchtime and reopens in the afternoon. It is closed on Sundays. Also bear in mind that 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December are mandatory retail holidays, when most shops close. In beach and holiday destinations hours follow the season: in summer, from December to February, many places stay open longer, while outside the season some open only at weekends or close for a few weeks.
