Culture Kings allows returns within 30 days of purchase when items are unworn, unwashed, and unused with original tags attached. Items must be returned in original packaging, and a receipt is required. Returns to the United States include a prepaid shipping label, though a $6.95 handling fee applies.

How returns work

You can return in-store purchases at a Culture Kings store with your receipt and proof of purchase. For online orders, you must submit a return request through the online returns portal. Culture Kings will provide a prepaid return shipping label for US customers to mail items back. Customers outside the US must purchase their own return shipping label. All returned items must be packed in original packaging within a protective satchel or outer box.

Exclusions and restrictions

Culture Kings does not accept returns on face masks, intimate apparel, swimwear, earrings, or gift cards due to hygiene conditions or policy restrictions. Footwear returns must include the original undamaged shoebox in an outer protective box; the shoebox cannot be taped or marked. Online purchases cannot be returned in store.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method or as store credit at your option. The retailer does not publish a specific timeline for when refunds appear in your account. Damaged or defective items approved for return receive a free return label and are eligible for a full refund, replacement, or store credit.
