How returns work

To return an item, start your return or exchange online through your account using the return link. Follow the online steps, then print your shipping label and packing slip. Pack your item securely in original or your own packaging with the packing slip inside. Affix the shipping label to the package so no other tracking labels are visible, then drop the package at a nearby carrier location. You can track your return using the link provided in your email.

Exclusions and restrictions

Boston Proper does not accept returns of gift cards, e-gift cards, or altered items. International orders and orders shipped to Puerto Rico cannot be returned at this time. However, items deemed defective by Boston Proper after review may be returned within 30 days of shipment.

Refunds

The retailer does not state how long refunds take to process or when funds appear in your account. If your item was purchased with a gift card, your refund will be issued as a gift card rather than to your original payment method.
