How returns work

You can return items in store with your receipt and original payment card, or by mail using a Tillys return label. For mail returns, you may drop your package at USPS locations or request free carrier pickup through the USPS website. When you initiate a return online, you will receive a return label and tracking number.

Exclusions and restrictions

Bikes, surfboards, paddleboards, snowboards, and snowboard boots and bindings must be returned by mail only, not in store. For warranty claims on sunglasses and watches, you must contact the manufacturer directly. Tillys does not publish a broader list of non-returnable items beyond these categories.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 1 to 2 billing cycles. If you paid with a gift card, you receive store credit as a Tillys Gift Card instead. If you purchased through Amazon or TikTok and return in store, you may receive store credit, though original payment refunds apply for mail returns.
