How to use this table
- The window usually starts when the order is delivered, not when you place it.
- Returning in store is free almost everywhere and refunds faster than mail.
- Keep tags on and the receipt or order email until you are sure: worn or washed items are usually refused.
Before you rely on it
- Sale items, swimwear and underwear often have stricter rules; holiday purchases often get longer windows.
- Policies change: the date each row was checked is in the sources.
