What Is the HomeGoods Return Policy?

Customers can return new and unused merchandise for a full refund in the original payment form to HomeGoods after 30 days of purchase, as long as they have a receipt. If a customer doesn’t have a receipt or it’s been more than 30 days, they will receive in-store credit.

Standard Return Policy for Items Purchased in Stores

HomeGoods allows customers to return or exchange merchandise in a variety of circumstances. Here are some basics to keep in mind:

• You can return a product within 30 days of purchase for an exchange or refund in the original payment form.
• A 10-day timeframe is necessary for cash refunds on check purchases.
• Returns with a receipt over 30 days, gift receipts, or orders without receipts will only be eligible for in-store credit. In-store credit is subject to the HomeGoods Terms and Conditions.

Note: Refunds and exchanges may also be declined based upon the HomeGoods verification system to reduce fraudulent activity. The verification system is utilized to process and track refunds to help the loss prevention program.

However, this will depend on your bank account, debit card, or billing cycle. In-store credits are typically eligible after HomeGoods receives the product.

In-store returns are refunded to the original payment form on the spot. You will receive in-store credit on the spot if your situation applies. However, it can take a few days until your bank account or debit card registers the refund.

• The HomeGoods associate will follow any store operations and processes for refunds if you do not have the credit or debit card used for the Apple Pay purchase.
