Alternatively, you may return online orders in person at most Vineyard Vines retail locations.

Exclusions and restrictions

Several categories of items are not returnable. Final sale merchandise includes Whale of a Sale items marked 50% off, clearance items, outlet final sale items, customized items, Whalehouse purchases, and Sample Sale purchases. Gift cards are also non-returnable. Additionally, items showing damage from normal wear, accident, or misuse are not accepted.
