Top 10 Return Policies GRAPHIC

Meet the top 10 retailers with the best return policy

Let’s face it: the thrill of shopping sometimes gets overshadowed by the dread of returns. Whether it’s the pants that didn’t fit, the gadget that was not-so-magical, or the impulse buy that should have stayed in your dreams, returns are a part of life. But fear not, because we’ve rounded up the top 10 retailers who won’t make you beg for a refund!

1. Nordstrom

Nordstrom doesn’t just have a return policy; they have a return philosophy. No receipt? No problem. Bought it last year? Still, no problem. The only thing they can’t return is your ex. But everything else? Fair game.

2. Costco

Costco’s return policy is as massive as their bulk snack aisles. Electronics, clothes, even that 64-ounce jar of pickles you swore you’d eat? Bring it all back. Just maybe not half-eaten.

3. Zappos

Bought shoes that don’t fit? Zappos has you covered. With a 365-day return policy and free return shipping, you have an entire year to decide that those neon green boots were a mistake.

4. L.L. Bean

L.L. Bean’s return policy is as reliable as their flannel shirts. While they recently switched from a lifetime guarantee to a one-year policy, they still stand behind their products. If it’s their fault, they’ll make it right. And let’s be honest, it’s usually their fault, right?

5. Amazon

Amazon’s return process is so smooth, you’ll wonder why you ever left your couch to shop. With hassle-free returns on most items, you can send back that inflatable dinosaur costume with the click of a button. And yes, Prime members get extra love here.

6. Target

Target’s return policy is as straightforward as their aisles. With 90 days to return most items and an extended period for RedCard holders, you have plenty of time to realize you didn’t need that fifth set of decorative pillows.

7. Kohl’s

Kohl’s not only lets you return stuff within 180 days, but they also give you Kohl’s Cash for your trouble. It’s like getting paid to realize your mistakes. Now that’s a win-win.

8. REI

REI knows that sometimes your outdoor gear just doesn’t cut it. Their one-year return policy is perfect for those who realize the great outdoors is best enjoyed from the couch.

9. Bath & Body Works

Did that candle smell better in the store? No worries. Bath & Body Works lets you return products at any time, for any reason. Even if you lit it once. Just say the scent wasn’t your vibe.

10. IKEA

With a generous 365-day return window, it’s ok to change your mind! Is that sofa not quite as comfortable 3 months in? No problem – IKEA has your back
