Whether the fit isn\u2019t right or you changed your mind, Dillard\u2019s makes returns pretty simple. Here\u2019s how their current policy works.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"444\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillars.png\" alt=\"Dillards logo\" class=\"wp-image-117082\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillars.png 444w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillars-300x76.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Return window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You have 30 days from the date of purchase to return most items bought in-store or online. Everything must be in its original, unused condition, with tags attached and the proof-of-purchase label included. Items should also be in their original packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an item arrives damaged, defective, or was shipped in error, these limits don\u2019t apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Holiday returns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Return-eligible items you buy between Nov. 1 through Dec. 12 can be returned through Jan. 11. Returns made more than 30 days past the original purchase date will receive store credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Returning in store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can bring eligible items to any Dillard\u2019s store, except clearance centers. Just bring the item, your receipt, or your proof-of-purchase label. Store associates can help you process the return at customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refunds are issued to the original form of payment. If you paid by check, there is a 10-day waiting period before a cash or check refund can be given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are returning a gift, Dillard\u2019s will provide store credit or a gift card for the item\u2019s value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Returning by mail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather mail your return, go to your order history and click \u201cStart Return.\u201d Dillard\u2019s offers a prepaid return label for $9.95, which will be deducted from your refund. Pack the item carefully in its original box along with the receipt or proof of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mail your return to:<br>Dillard\u2019s<br>600 Carnahan Drive<br>Maumelle, AR 72113<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to use Dillard\u2019s label, you can ship through your preferred carrier at your own cost. Make sure to insure your package and use a trackable method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some online items may also have a restocking fee. If that applies, it will be listed before checkout and deducted from your refund, in addition to the $9.95 label charge. You may additionally be charged a restocking fee, but the policy doesn&#8217;t define when this may happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refund details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Approved returns are refunded to the original payment method, including sales tax. Purchases made through Afterpay will be refunded to your Afterpay account or issued as a Dillard\u2019s gift card for the amount paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dillard&#8217;s does not refund original shipping charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you received an item as a gift and return it, you can exchange it or get store credit or a gift card for the item\u2019s value.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillards-return-policy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Woman shopping online\" class=\"wp-image-128993\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillards-return-policy-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillards-return-policy-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/dillards-return-policy-2-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you can&#8217;t return<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things cannot be returned or exchanged, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clearance items marked down 65% or more<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Items with additional discount promotions, such as: 25% off plus an extra 30% or 50% off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personalized merchandise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Dillard&#8217;s have a good return policy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Budget Fashionista rates the Dillard&#8217;s return policy as average, with a score of 3.5 points out of 5. The 30-day return window is standard, but Dillard&#8217;s charges a $9.95 return label feel and has unclear language around restocking fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Return Policy Score\u2122 score evaluates the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/shopping-guide\/return-policy\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/shopping-guide\/return-policy\/\">key return policy factors<\/a> shoppers care about most: return window length, condition requirements, refund method, shipping costs, in-store return flexibility, marketplace transparency, processing speed, and overall policy clarity. Each category is rated on a 1 to 5 scale based on how generous, convenient, and easy to understand the policy is.
