How to Return Items to COS
Returning items to COS is easy. Here are the steps to follow:
- Package the Item:
Place the item you want to return in the original packaging if possible. Make sure the item is clean, unworn, and has all the tags on it. Include your completed return form inside the package. - Visit the UPS Website:
Go to the UPS website and book your return. You can print out a return label from there. Don’t forget to schedule a pickup if needed. Screenshot of the UPS website page shared below
- Return Cost
COS charges a $25 fee for each return. This fee will be taken out of the refund you receive. Even if you return multiple orders in one parcel, the $25 fee applies to each order. - Wait for Your Return Confirmation Email
After COS receives and processes your return, they will send you a confirmation email. This can take up to 14 days, so hold on to your receipt until you get that email. Once you get the email, you’ll know the refund is on its way.
Refund
When you return an item, the refund will be processed in the same way you paid for it. Here’s what you need to know:
- Card Payment & Klarna: Once COS processes your refund, it should show in your account within 14 days. But often, it happens faster.
- PayPal: If you paid through PayPal, your refund will be processed as soon as the warehouse receives your return. PayPal will also send you a separate confirmation email.
Note: If you don’t get your return or refund confirmation from COS within 14 days, you can contact them for help.
Important Return Restrictions
There are a few things you cannot return to COS:
- Makeup and Skincare: These cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
- Underwear Briefs, Bodies, Pierced Jewelry: These are non-returnable unless they are faulty.
- Swimwear: You can return swimwear, but it must have the hygiene strip intact.
Also, items bought online cannot be returned in COS stores. Likewise, if you bought something in a store, you can’t return it through the online return service.
How to Return Dangerous Goods
If you bought items that are considered dangerous goods (like nail polish or certain perfumes), you need to follow some extra steps. Here’s how to return these items:
- Pack the Product Securely:
Make sure to put the item in a box and attach the “LQ Dangerous Goods” label. If you use the original box, the label should already be on it. If not, print a new one. - Fill the Box with Paper or Filler:
Add enough paper or other filler to keep the product from moving around inside the box. - Follow the Normal Return Procedure:
After packing, you can follow the regular return procedure explained earlier.
Repeated Returns
COS allows returns to give customers a flexible shopping experience. However, if COS notices that someone is returning items very often or if they think the customer is buying things just to resell them, they might deactivate that account.
If this happens to you and you think it’s unfair, you can contact COS Customer Care to resolve the issue.
Exceptions During Store Closures
If you couldn’t return an item because the store was temporarily closed, COS has extended the return window to 45 days from the time the store reopens. You can check store hours by visiting their store locator on the website.
