      Yes – you can return items from multiple orders in one return package. You will only be charged the $7 return service fee once.

      Only create a Digital Return for one of the orders, otherwise the system will think that you are sending the returns separately.

      When will my exchange order ship out to me?

If you do not return to a store within 10 days, a merchandise credit in the form of an e-gift card will be sent to the email address used on your order.

      Once your return package has reached one of our carrier’s consolidation hubs it may be marked as ‘Delivered’, prior to arrival at our Distribution Center. A ‘Delivered’ scan does not always mean the return package has been received by our Distribution Center or has been processed yet for a refund.

      After dropping your return off with the carrier, please allow approximately three weeks for your return to be delivered, processed at our Distribution Center, and for your refund to be initiated to your account.
