Old Navy Return Policy – Here’s Exactly How It Works
Old Navy Return Policy
Old Navy return policy lets you swap online purchases for free by mail or in-store. Read Old Navy return policy and send it back.
When we don’t want anything, we ask these questions.
- Can you return Old Navy without receipt?
- Can I return items to Old Navy after 30 days?
- Can I return Old Navy items to Gap?
- How long do Old Navy refunds take?
Furthermore, washing or wearing an item may prevent a return or exchange, and a packing slip or receipt is required for all returns or exchanges within Old Navy’s 45-day window.
Online shoppers can print a return label from the store’s website. Same-box packing is required.
If the tags are still on the item, the consumer may be able to return it for store credit.
Returning or Exchanging Items
We hope you like what you bought, but if you don’t, we’re happy to take a new order or give you your money back. When you use a prepaid return shipping label (only for online purchases) or return in-store, returns and exchanges are free.
Furthermore, at Athleta, you have up to 60 days from the date of shipment to return or exchange items by mail, while at Gap, Old Navy, and the Banana Republic, you have up to 30 days from the date of shipment to do the same.
Items from Gap, Old Navy, or the Banana Republic that require a return or exchange must be sent back to us within 30 days of the shipping date (60 days for Athleta). Additionally, on our Return Policy FAQ page, you can find all the necessary information regarding how to return an item.
