Allbirds allows returns within 30 days of purchase. You can return items by mail, though you are responsible for return shipping costs unless you purchased return coverage at checkout.

How returns work

To return an item, you start the return process through Allbirds' online system and receive a return shipping label. You then mail the item back using that label. Return shipping costs are your responsibility unless you bought return coverage at the time of checkout.

Exclusions and restrictions

Allbirds does not accept returns on gift cards, insoles, worn or washed items, or items without original product tags attached. Socks, underwear, and accessories may be returned only if the packaging remains unopened.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original form of payment. The retailer does not publish the timeframe for when refunds appear in your account.
