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>Please see Saks&#8217; <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=c2289fc62d029721c513ecb2e4794ef5&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.saksfifthavenue.com%2Fc%2Fcontent%2Freturns-exchanges&amp;opt=true\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official return policy here<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>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Budget Fashionista provides this review of the Saks Fifth Avenue return policy for informational purposes only.
