Pro Tips for Hassle-Free Returns

From one shopper to another—these are my go-to tips:

  • Returning multiple items? Send them separately and track each one.
  • Save your receipts or emails – always. They’re your return insurance.
  • Leave tags on until you’re totally sure.
  • Don’t delay – get returns out early to stay within the refund window.
  • Keep your packaging – especially for gowns, gifts, and home items.

Common Questions

Final Thoughts

Anthropologie’s return policy is pretty customer-friendly—but you’ve got to follow the rules. Knowing the differences between regular, specialty, and final sale items is key to avoiding return frustration.

Happy shopping—and even happier returning (if needed)!

Please Note: Return policies can change over time. While this article aims to provide accurate information based on the policy at the time of writing, it’s always a good idea to double-check the return policy on official Anthropologie website for the most up-to-date return policy details.
