Returns by mail – $6.00

It’s easier than you think. Follow these simple steps to return your purchase by mail:

  1.        Detach the top customer portion of the invoice for your records.
  2.        Circle the item(s) that you’re returning and note the quantity and reason(s) for return on your invoice.
  3.        Pack your return securely, in the original package if possible, and include your completed invoice.
  4.        Print out a pre-paid UPS return shipping label.
  5.        Affix your UPS return shipping label to the packaging. Make sure no other tracking labels are shown.
  6.        Take the package to your nearest UPS drop off location.

When you mail your purchase back to us using the pre-paid UPS shipping label, we’ll deduct a flat fee of $6.00 from your order refund for return postage. If you ordered from Piperlime or are returning Old Navy Women’s Plus merchandise or Banana Republic online-exclusive shoes, you will not be charged for return postage – your return is free. You’ll find a return label that came with your package or you can print a new shipping label here.
