Champion allows you to return items within 30 days of purchase through their online portal. Items must be unworn, unwashed, unaltered, and in original packaging with all original tags attached.

How returns work

You start your return by using Champion's online portal with your order number and ZIP code. After selecting your refund option, you print a prepaid shipping label and packing slip immediately. Place the packing slip inside the box with your item, then drop off the package with the carrier indicated on your label. You must ship within 28 days of starting your return.

Exclusions and restrictions

Champion does not accept returns on worn, washed, altered, or tagged-removed items. Items without original packaging, purchases from other retailers, and international orders cannot be returned. If your item is damaged or defective due to company error, contact Champion directly instead of using the standard return process, and no handling fee will be charged.

Refunds

You choose your refund method when you start your return: store credit as a gift card emailed to your order address, refund to your original payment method, or instant refund through Reshop. Both the original payment method and instant refund options include a $7.95 fee deducted from your refund amount.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a receipt to return to Champion?

Receipt requirements are conditional, though Champion does not specify the exact conditions. You will need your order number to start a return through their online portal.

Is return shipping free?

Return shipping is free when you use the prepaid label provided by Champion. The label is printed immediately after you choose your refund option in the online portal.

What if I want to exchange an item for a different size or color?

Champion does not offer exchanges. You must return your item and place a new order separately to ensure the size or color you want is available and held for you.

Can I return items I bought from another store?

No. Champion only accepts returns on items purchased directly from Champion. Items from other retailers cannot be returned.

How long does it take to get my refund?

Champion does not publish a specific refund processing timeline. The time depends on which refund method you choose: store credit is emailed as a gift card, while refunds to your original payment method or instant refunds are processed according to those options.

What happens if my item arrives damaged?

Contact Champion directly instead of starting a standard return. Champion will not charge a handling fee when the damage is due to company error.

Can I return items purchased internationally?

No. International orders have their own returns process handled by each region. Champion does not accept international returns through the US process.
