How returns work

To return an item, log in to your Zazzle account and visit the Returns and Order Resolution Center. Select the product you wish to return, specify your reason, and indicate whether you want a replacement, account credit, or refund. For damaged or defective products, you will need to upload digital images. Returns are processed by mail, with prepaid labels provided only for Zazzle Promise cases; you pay for return shipping on other orders unless you have qualifying coverage.

Exclusions and restrictions

Zazzle does not accept returns of face masks and face shields for health and safety reasons. Embroidered products have a shortened 10-day window if you need to request a refund of the stitch file conversion fee, which requires contacting Zazzle and returning the product within that period.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method or as Zazzle account credit. Refunds to your original payment method take 5 to 7 business days to appear. Account credit is processed in 1 business day and remains valid for 1 year.
