Easy Returns and Exchanges by Mail:

Returns by mail – $6.00

It’s easier than you think. Follow these simple steps to return your purchase by mail:

1. Detach the top customer portion of the invoice for your records.
2. Circle the item(s) that you’re returning and note the quantity and reason(s) for return on your invoice.
3. Pack your return securely, in the original package if possible, and include your completed invoice.
4. Print out a pre-paid UPS return shipping label.

When you mail your purchase back to us using the pre-paid UPS shipping label, we’ll deduct a flat fee of $6.00 from your order refund for return postage. If you ordered from Piperlime or are returning Old Navy Women’s Plus clothing, you will not be charged for return postage – your return is free. You’ll find a return label that came with your package or you can print a new shipping label here.

Can I return any online purchase to a store? No, certain items are not eligible for store returns and must be returned using our easy mail return process. These items are indicated as “Return by Mail Only” on the product page and have a return type of “Mail Only” in your shopping bag and on your invoice.

Also, if you’re returning merchandise to a store that was purchased and exchanged online and you have your online exchange invoice/receipt, we’ll issue you a gift card for the amount of your purchase. If you’d prefer to receive a refund to your credit card, you must return the merchandise by mail.

Can I return Final Sale items online or to a store? No, we do not accept returns or exchanges on final sale merchandise, online or in stores.

What if I used a promotion code to make my purchase? You can exchange the item for the same style in a different size or color. Or, you can apply a credit for the amount you paid towards a new item at its current price. A previously used promotion code cannot be applied to the sale of a different item.

What if I want a refund but I used a gift card? No problem. We make all refunds in the original form of payment. So if you used a Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime, or Options gift card to make your purchase, you’ll receive a refund on an Options gift card. Our Options gift cards may be redeemed by any customer and used in-store and online at Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, in-store at Gap Outlet, and Banana Republic Factory Stores, and online at piperlime.com and athleta.com.

Can I get a price adjustment for an online purchase? Yes, we offer a one-time price adjustment if an item is marked down within fourteen (14) days of your order date.

Dont miss the deadline

I returned two items that I had purchased a few days past the 45 day return time. They sent the items back to me and refused the return. While I understand that it is my fault that I missed the deadline it was literal a few days not 6 months. I am also an Old Navy card holder and a very good customer. I emailed them to see if they would reconsider and was told that they had processed late returns on my account before so they wouldn't this time. When I looked at my account back to May 2014, I had one return that was actually an exchange that was made at the store the day I received the merchandise. Other than that I had NO returns to either ON or Gap from May 2014 to current. It would be nice if they would be just be honest and say "hey you were late, sorry" rather than make up some fabricated story about processing late returns in the past. I will most likely be canceling my credit card with them and take my business elsewhere. I love H&M more anyways!

Easy, free returns

I ordered some Gap clothes from their online store and unfortunately received a wrong item! I contacted their returns department through their online form and they promptly set me up with free shipping back and took the product back, no questions asked. They didn't make me try to exchange it first or take store credit, either. My card which I used to make the purchase was credited quickly once the product was received at their warehouse, perhaps five days after I shipped the package. The only way it could've been easier was if they took the package to the Home Depot shipping department for me, but since I have one on the way home from work, it took less than five minutes out of my day to get the whole thing taken care of. Overall it was quick, easy, and painless!
