Before returning items to retailers like Macy's, customers should verify the current returns policy, as it's subject to change. Macy's maintains a customer-friendly returns process for most purchases.
Macy's permits returns of many items within 180 days after purchase, with items required to be in original packaging. Receipts are ideal but not always necessary.
Special categories have expedited timeframes:
Category | Return timeframe |
|---|---|
Apple Products | iPhones: 14 days; other Apple products: 30 days |
Backstage Items | 30 days |
Beauty Box | Not returnable |
Designer Brands (Burberry, Gucci, Longchamp, Louis Vuitton, Tous) | 14 days |
Dresses (Juniors/Socials) | 60 days |
Gourmet Food & Wine | Not returnable |
Jewelry | 30 days |
Optical | 30 days |
Personal Care | 60 days |
Small Electrics | 60 days |
Online purchases can be returned via the Easy Returns system: print confirmation and shipping label, pack items securely, attach labels, and ship from any UPS store. Macy's pay the return shipping fees on purchases that were originally made online, but in-store purchases cannot be returned by mail.
Items and invoices can be returned to any physical Macy's location. Customers without invoices may bring printed email confirmations alongside items in original packaging.
