How returns work

You can return in-store purchases at a physical store location, or return any eligible purchase by mail. For mail returns, contact Customer Service to obtain pre-approval and a shipping address. If your item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect, you may use a provided FedEx label for drop-off instead. In-store returns for online orders are not available.

Exclusions and restrictions

Straight razors are final sale and not returnable, with the exception of Dovo Disposable Blade straight razors, which may be returned within 30 days. Gift cards are non-returnable and may only be redeemed. The retailer does not publish other product exclusions.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method or as a gift card, at the retailer's discretion. Credit card refunds may take up to one full billing cycle to appear. If you received a gift with a gift receipt, you may exchange it for merchandise or store credit instead of receiving a refund to the original payment method.
