• I purchased it at a US retail store.
• The item was a gift purchased by someone else.

Select whichever option pertains best to your situation and follow the prompts on the next screen.

Step 3: Select to Return by Mail or In-Store

After selecting how you purchased your product, you’ll need to select whether you’re returning your product by mail or at an in-store location.

Step 4: Follow the Prompts and Finish

After selecting how you plan to return your product, you’ll need to follow the prompts on the Return My Order Page. You’ll be asked if you need a return label, what kind of item you’re returning, and more.

Return a Product In-Store

You’ll need to use the Return My Order page to start the in-store return process. You’ll need to follow the prompts and answer what kind of item you’re returning and how you purchased it. There might be some exclusions or limitations, depending on the product you’re returning.

What Do I Need?
