Initiating an Online Return

We accept returns in our U.S. or Canada stores up to 30 days after you receive your merchandise for a refund to the original form of payment in the form of your original payment. For purchases over $50 made with cash or debit cards not associated with VISA or MasterCard, we will issue a refund via a mailed check within approximately 21 days. You can exchange items purchased in our U.S. stores at one of our U.S. locations up to 30 days after receiving your merchandise.

Once your order is submitted, processing begins immediately and we are unable to modify or cancel it. This includes changes to products, payment methods, shipping address, and shipping methods.

Follow the instructions below to return by mail and a $14.99 charge for the prepaid shipping label will be deducted from your refund. If you choose not to use the prepaid label, you may pay for return shipping via your choice of carrier. You may also make your return, within 30 days after you receive your merchandise, at any of our U.S. stores. Your return or exchange must occur in the country where the original purchase was made.

Step 1: Submit Return Request

1. Go to Order Status and enter your order number and email. You can find your order number: a. In your confirmation and shipping emails or on your packing slip. b. By logging in to your account, going to My Orders, and choosing the order you wish to view by selecting View Order.

2. Select Return Item for the item you wish to return. a. An item marked as Final Sale cannot be returned. b. Items past the 30 day return window will no longer be eligible for return or exchange.

3. Select the reason for your return and if more than 1 was purchased, the quantity you wish to return. Select Submit Return Request.

4. Repeat this process if you wish to return other items.

5. You will receive an email confirmation at the email address associated with the order with a Return Request Number and a return shipping label for each item you intend to return.

Step 2: Pack It Up

Print the return label and attach it to the box with the item you are returning.

If you are returning multiple items and notice that they are all going to the same location, you are welcome to package all of the items into 1 box with 1 return shipping label. We recommend that you write the Return Request Number for each item on the box; be sure to keep a copy of these numbers for your records. You can access your Return Request Numbers under My Returns in your account or by selecting Return Pending when viewing your order.

Step 3: Send It Off

Once your return is properly packaged, take the package to any UPS-authorized location or drop box—visit ups.com/dropoff—or to the respective shipping carrier if using your own shipping label. Be sure to keep your receipt and tracking information. As a reminder, ship your item to us within 7 days of initiating your return.

Step 4: Receive Your Refund

We will inspect and process your return within 14 days. You will receive confirmation via email when your return has been processed. A $14.99 charge for EACH prepaid return shipping label used will be deducted from your refund. If you choose not to use the prepaid label, you may pay for return shipping via your choice of carrier and the charge will not be deducted from your refund.

Please hold on to your return tracking number until your return is processed if you choose your own shipping carrier, as you may be asked to provide that if you need to check on the status of your return. Please allow up to 2 billing cycles for the return credit to appear on your credit card statement. Credits are processed for the original cost of the merchandise plus tax—initial shipping and handling fees will not be refunded.

We will inspect your item upon our receipt to determine return eligibility. If following inspection, we determine that your item does not comply with our return policy; such return will be deemed rejected and will be shipped back to you at the original shipping address provided. Some reasons that your return may be rejected include but are not limited to: final sale item; passed return window; tag/seal removed; stained, worn, torn, or altered item.
