Items must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have the original tags and packaging. That includes the clear plastic bag with the product barcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your return is approved, you can choose one of these options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A refund to your original payment method<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A ModCloth store credit, which arrives faster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An exchange for a different size in the same style and color<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>ModCloth processes refunds <strong>within two business days<\/strong> after your return reaches the U.S. warehouse. Store credits and exchanges are processed even faster once the package is scanned by the carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brands sold on ModCloth, such as Chelsea Crew, Orchid Bloom, and Princess Highway, can only be refunded and are not eligible for store credit or exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth.jpg\" alt=\"How to return clothes to Modcloth.\" class=\"wp-image-1640511\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-735x413.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-335x188.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-347x195.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/How-to-Return-Clothes-to-Modcloth-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What items are accepted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most unused items can be returned, but there are a few special rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shoes must be in new condition and sent back in the original shoe box, packed inside another box for shipping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swimwear must still have its hygienic liner attached and intact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final sale items cannot be refunded or exchanged but may be turned into store credit through ModCloth\u2019s ModCloset program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gift cards are final sale and can\u2019t be returned or transferred to another customer\u2019s account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you send back an item after the 30-day window or without prior approval, it will be treated as forfeited and handled at ModCloth\u2019s discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Return processing fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a $12 processing fee per order if you did not purchase Checkout+ when placing your order. This fee is taken out of your refund or store credit.<br>If you did buy Checkout+, your return or exchange is completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shipping and handling fees from your original order are not refundable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to start a return<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ModCloth uses a return portal called Loop to make things easier. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the Loop portal to open your return or exchange request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loop will create a return label and a packing slip for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put the packing slip inside your package and attach the prepaid return label to the outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drop it off at your nearest carrier location that has a daily pickup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>ModCloth recommends avoiding drop boxes without daily service since that can delay your refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your order included items from ModCloth\u2019s partner brands, you\u2019ll need to open a separate return for each one. There\u2019s no extra charge for this, but you must send each item to the correct warehouse using the label provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International returns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re returning from outside the U.S. (including Australia, Canada, or the U.K.), you can still start your return through the same Loop portal within 30 days of delivery. The same item rules apply: everything must be unworn, unwashed, and in its original packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International customers will see the return shipping fee before finalizing the return. Refunds go back to your original payment method within two business days of reaching ModCloth\u2019s U.S. warehouse, or you can choose store credit instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For returns from other countries, you\u2019ll need to use your own shipping carrier. After opening the return request, ModCloth will provide return instructions and a packing slip. You must email your tracking number and order number to <a>support@modcloth.com<\/a> within five business days to keep your return active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning items to ModCloth isn\u2019t complicated once you know the steps. The brand\u2019s online system does most of the work for you, and the refund options give you some flexibility. If you stay within the 30-day window and keep your items in new condition, the rest is straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Modcloth have a good return policy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Budget Fashionista rates the Modcloth return policy as average, with a score of 3.4 points out of 5. The retailer charges $12 for return shipments, but refunds are processed quickly. <\/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=\"post\" data-id=\"1658851\">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. The final score is an average of all categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can view the official <a href=\"https:\/\/modcloth.com\/pages\/return-policy?srsltid=AfmBOopXi3U37M_5P0Hh4C4uriMQwJU8m-HodMKY1bjAcBCBEeoTNQAr\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/modcloth.com\/pages\/return-policy?srsltid=AfmBOopXi3U37M_5P0Hh4C4uriMQwJU8m-HodMKY1bjAcBCBEeoTNQAr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ModCloth<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> return policy here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Budget Fashionista provides this review of the Modcloth return policy for informational purposes only.
