Do Everlane Orders Qualify for Free Returns?
Everlane offers returns on most items within 30 days of delivery, and certain orders may qualify for free returns depending on the product type, collection method, and promotional terms.

How Free Returns Typically Work at Everlane
Everlane generally provides a prepaid return label for U.S. customers on orders that ship from and are returned within the United States, covering the cost of the return shipment for eligible items. After logging into your account and starting a return online, you receive instructions and a label if you qualify. The package must be sent back within the stated return window with all original tags and packaging intact. Items such as intimates and certain accessories may have specific handling requirements, and some promotions or gift-with-purchase items may affect return eligibility. Regional programs and limited-time offers can change the availability of free return options, so it is best to verify details in the return instructions provided for your order.
Step-by-Step Return Process
- Log in to your Everlane account and go to the order details page.
- Select the item(s) you want to return and choose the reason.
- Review the return instructions and shipping label availability.
- Pack the item securely with all tags and original materials included.
- Ship the package by the deadline and retain tracking proof.
- Track the return label status and await refund processing after we receive the item.
Key Eligibility Factors
- Item must be returned within 30 days of delivery.
- Item must be in original condition with tags attached.
- Original packaging and accessories should be included when applicable.
- Exclusions may apply to sale items, intimates, selected bags, and final-sale products.

International Returns and Exceptions
For orders shipped outside the United States, Everlane typically requires the customer to cover return shipping unless a specific regional promotion or localized program states otherwise. Duties, taxes, and any applicable brokerage fees may be the responsibility of the recipient in certain countries, and customs processing can affect timelines. Some items, such as jewelry or sale merchandise, may be labeled as final sale internationally. If you are unsure about return eligibility for an international order, contact Everlane support with your order number and destination country for precise guidance.
Clearance, Sales, and Final-Sale Items
Clearance and marked-down items often carry stricter return conditions, and some may be marked final sale with no returns or exchanges. Always check the product page or the return instructions for the exact terms before completing a purchase. If an item is labeled final sale, you generally will not be able to return it for a refund or exchange, even if it arrives damaged; in those cases, Everlane’s customer support may offer alternative solutions on a case-by-case basis.
Damaged or Incorrect Items
If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, Everlane usually requests photos and details through their support channel to verify the issue. Once verified, they typically offer either a replacement or a refund, including return shipping coverage when applicable. Responding promptly and providing clear images can help expedite the resolution. Keep all original packaging and tags until you confirm whether you will keep the item, as incomplete packaging can affect resolution options.
Refunds and Timing
After an item is received and inspected, refunds are issued to the original payment method and generally appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer. Store credit options may be available in some cases, and any applicable shipping charges are handled according to the return method selected at initiation. Promotional credits or discounts tied to a returned item can influence the refund amount, so review the return confirmation carefully.
