Return Policy and Instructions


Return Policy

We do our best to make returns easy. Unused items in their original packaging with proof of purchase may be returned for a refund or merchandise credit based on the guidelines below. Items that are used, worn, washed, or sold “As-Is” are not eligible for return or exchange at any time.

Some special sales offer incredible deals and may not be eligible for return. During these events, "ALL SALES FINAL" will be listed on the receipt.

Return Window: Rewards Member: 90 Days (Our Rewards Membership Program is free. Join today to take advantage of the extended return policy benefits) Non-Rewards Member: 30 Days

For purchases made online, the return window begins on the date the goods are shipped. For purchases made in-store, the return window begins on the date of purchase.

All returns require valid proof of purchase in the form of an original store receipt or web invoice/packing slip. Returns accompanied by a gift receipt will be refunded to a merchandise credit. We will gladly look up receipts for our Rewards Members for all purchases made on their accounts.

Returns In-Store: You can return your purchase to any store location regardless of whether you bought it in-store or online.
