Exchanges & Returns

  • Exchanges
    • It's free to exchange items for a different size, based on stock availability (this excludes Giveaways). If you are based outside the US you will need to pay duties and taxes on your replacement item.

      To exchange an item, simply specify the new size you require when you request your Returns Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number through your account. For exchanges outside the US, you will be prompted to tick a box on the 'REVIEW & CONFIRM' page. You will see a breakdown of cost and this authorizes THE OUTNET to deduct the total taxes and duties from the original card used to place your order.

      Please note that we are only able to offer size exchanges. If you wish to exchange your item for an alternative style, we suggest that you return it for a store credit and purchase the new item separately.

  • Returns
    • THE OUTNET charges customers a return cost of $7.95. Please note, outbound shipping charges are non-refundable (except for the return of faulty goods).

  • Holiday season policy
    • To make gift purchasing even easier, our returns policy is extended during the holiday season for all orders placed between Wednesday, November 9, 2011 and Saturday, December 24, 2011.

      Returns and exchanges will be accepted until Sunday, January 8, 2012, and we offer store credit refunds on returns until Sunday, January 15, 2012.

      For more information, please contact customer care.

  • Receiving a refund
    • When requesting your RMA number through your account, you can select a card refund to the original purchaser's credit card or store credit on your THE OUTNET account.

      Your refund excludes the cost of return (with the exception of faulty goods) which we deduct to cover the cost of return shipping.

      If your order has been sent to a destination within New York and New Jersey, all sales taxes will be refunded. Outside the United States and Canada, customs duties and sales taxes are non-refundable through THE OUTNET. However, you may be able to recover these by contacting your local customs bureau directly.

      Please note, card refunds can take up to 10 days to show on your statement due to the processing times between card issuers.

      Store credit is valid for 12 months and will automatically be deducted at checkout when you next shop at THE OUTNET.

      Occasionally THE OUTNET runs a free shipping promotion on the website for a limited period of time. For items returned that were purchased during this promotion, we will not refund outbound shipping costs (as this was free) and you will still be charged a return shipping fee as normal.

  • Important Information
      • If you want to return an item(s), you must request a RMA number online within 14 days of receiving your order. Items should then be returned within 14 days of receiving your RMA number.
      • Please send all the items you wish to return from an order in the same shipment. Your return will be processed quicker and avoids you having to pay more than one return cost.
      • Items should be returned in their original packaging so they are adequately protected in transit. Shoe boxes should also be protected as they are considered part of the product and your return may not be accepted if the box is damaged.
      • Please note that items must be returned from the same country to which they were delivered.
      • We recommend that items are returned to us via DHL or UPS so that they are protected and insured during transit. However, you may return the goods by any secure means. Please email Customer Care if you are using an alternative returns option. Our returns address is:

  • Our Policy
    • Items should be returned new, unused and with all THE OUTNET and designer garment tags still attached. Returns that are damaged, marked or altered may not be accepted and may be sent back to the customer.

      Where provided, belts and any designer packaging such as authenticity cards, dust bags and leather tags should be included with your return. Please email customercare.usa@theoutnet.com if any of your purchases have been delivered without THE OUTNET tags. All items returned should have a RMA number. Unidentified returns may be returned to the sender.

      Exclusion

      Items purchased in Pop-Up sales can only be returned for store credit (this includes items purchased in a Clearance Sale). Giveaways and items purchased in Going, Going, Gone sales are final sales. However, with both Going, Going, Gone sales and Pop-Up sales, we will attempt to honor exchanges, based on stock availability.

      Late Returns

      A RMA number should be requested within 14 days of receiving your order. You should then return your item(s) within 14 days of receiving this number.

      Returns outside these timeframes may be accepted at the discretion of THE OUTNET and may only be refunded as a store credit. Please note that RMA numbers requested later than 14 days after dispatch will also be granted at our discretion.

      Shoes

      All shoes must be tried on a carpeted surface until you are certain you are keeping them. Shoes should be returned unmarked and in their original, undamaged shoe box as this is considered part of the product. Shoes that are returned without a box, in a damaged box or with scratched soles may not be accepted and may be sent back to the customer.

      Lingerie & Swimwear

      Briefs, swimming costumes and bikini bottoms should be tried on over underwear, without removing the protective adhesive strip. Returns may not be accepted if this strip has been removed or if items are soiled and may be sent back to the customer.

      Faulty goods

      Goods are classified as faulty if they are received damaged or where a manufacturing fault occurs within six months of purchase. Please note that items that are damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty.

      Where possible, we will offer to repair faulty items. If you would like to exchange your item, please be aware that we can only replace it for the same product in the same size, subject to availability. You will receive a full refund if the item cannot be repaired or replaced.

      For all faulty items outside of our Returns Policy, please contact customercare.usa@theoutnet.com
