Unfortunately you CANNOT use your discount towards any sale or clearance Adidas products.

Is There a Maximum Dollar Amount Students Can Get?

Yes.

The maximum discount, per transaction, is $1,000.

So, if you don’t qualify for their student discount, be sure to sign-up for the AdiClub which gives shoppers 15% off your next purchase along with free shipping.

Note: As mentioned above, you cannot combine your student discount with any other discount, including the AdiClub 15% off discount.

Dillard’s Return Policy: It’s NOT Great…Here’s Everything You NEED to Know

Updated January 19, 2024 by Kyle James

Dillard’s is considered a top fashion retailer that provides a wide variety of products. However, whether you’re second-guessing your in-store purchase or don’t like how your online order looks in person, you can still return these items by following Dillard’s return policy, but be warned, it’s pretty darn strict. Discover the exact return requirements, some of which are VERY crappy, and many of which are not to be found on the Dillard’s website.

Dillard’s Return Policy: Everything You NEED to Know

How Many Return Days Does Dillard’s Allow?

30 days.

You only have 30 days from when you purchased the item at Dillard’s to return for a full refund.

30 days is NOT a lot of time compared to the competition, who typically offer between 60 – 120 days to make a return.

Any Items That I Can’t Return?

Yes.

Some items are absolutely non-refundable or returnable at Dillard’s and makes their return polices one of the worst in the retail clothing space.

This includes the following:

– Clearance Items: You CANNOT return anything marked down 65% or more.

So be VERY careful buying clearance items, especially from their website, as you CAN’T return stuff if you get it delivered and don’t like it.

Also, if the clearance item has a defect or flaw, you’ll have to try and get an exchange or refund from the manufacturer which becomes a major pain in the butt.

UPDATE: From a commenter, apparently some stuff in-store that is marked down 65% off comes with a terrible 3-day return policy.

They said there’s suppose to be a sign telling shoppers about the 3-day return window and it will also say on your receipt.

But in their case, they NEVER saw a sign indicating the 3-day return policy and they had to escalate the issue to a manager to finally get their money back.

Thanks to the commenter for letting us all know about this issue, an issue that is NOT posted anywhere on the Dillard’s website.

– Items on Sale: Anything that has an additional discount on top of the sale price, is NOT returnable. (i.e. if the item was marked down at 10%, and there’s a limited-time additional 30% off sale)

– Personalized Items: Anything that has your initials added to it or has any writing, embroidery, or engraving on it.

You also cannot return any items that are not in the same condition as when you bought the item (i.e. the item cannot be worn, laundered, damaged, etc.).

Items must be returned in their original, unused condition, with their original tags still attached.

However, if there was a defect caused by the manufacturer, then you CAN still return the item.

Do I Need My Receipt?

Yes.

You need either your original receipt or the Dillard’s proof of purchase label to be able to make a return.

If you lost your receipt, try contacting Dillard’s directly and they may be able to use your credit card to find your proof of purchase.

Can I Get Store Credit if I Lost My Receipt?

No.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear you can receive in-store credit if you want to make a return, but don’t have the receipt.

Like I mentioned above, if you don’t have your receipt, you can try calling Dillard’s customer service to see if they can use your phone number or credit card information to try and look up your order; however, this is not a guarantee.

Can Items Be Worn and Still Be Returned?

No.

Items must be unused and unlaundered to receive a full refund.

Do Tags Have To Be Attached?

Yes.

The original Dillard’s tags that were attached when you purchased the item must still be attached when making the return.

Is There a Dillard’s Holiday Return Policy?

No.

Dillard’s doesn’t appear to have any special holiday return policy.

Therefore, be aware that Dillard’s 30-day return time frame still stands, even if you bought items in and around the holiday season.

How Do I Make an Online Returns?

If you don’t want to return your items in-store, you can still make returns online.

Follow these simple steps to return your Dillard’s order online:

1. Go to Dillard’s Returns page and select whether you want to “Print a Return Label” (only for purchases made online) or “In-Store Purchase Return Label” (only for in-store purchases).

2. Fill out the provided fields. If you are returning an online purchase, you’ll need your order number and phone number. For items bought in-store, you’ll need your original receipt.

3. Print out the return label.

4. Package all your return items in a box, seal them, and attach the return label.

5. Drop off your package at a nearby post office.

Because it will take some time for Dillard’s to process your return request, expect to receive your refund within about a week after you shipped your return package.

Is There a Return Shipping Fee?

Yes.

There is a return shipping fee of $9.95 to ship back the Dillard’s items you’d like to return.

This shipping fee is for the return shipping label, so if you’re looking to get back your full refund value, consider making your returns in-store if you have a Dillard’s nearby.

$9.95 is really steep and the most expensive return shipping fee of any popular clothing store currently online.

How Do I Return a Gift Without a Gift Receipt?

You can return gifts at any Dillard’s store and will receive a gift card for the value of the gift you are returning.

Here’s the Costco Furniture Warranty (HINT: It’s Like Really Good)

Furniture is expensive, no matter where you shop, and furniture at Costco is no different. But what if you purchase furniture from Costco and later decide it doesn’t fit in your space or you simply don’t like it? Or what if you spill red wine on it? Luckily, Costco has a rather generous furniture warranty and return policy for customers. Read on to discover everything you need to know about Costco’s furniture warranty.

Here's the Costco Furniture Warranty (HINT: It's Like Really Good)

What is the Costco Furniture Warranty/Return Policy?

Unlimited.

Costco’s furniture warranty is actually not really a warranty at all, it’s just a REALLY good return policy.

They give you an unlimited number days after the time of purchase for a full refund or exchange on furniture items.

Costco will also accept defective furniture items from defective material or workmanship at ANY time.

Is It The Same for Online Furniture Orders?

Yes.

The same Costco return policy also covers online furniture orders made on Costco.com.

And, furniture pieces with defects can also be returned at any time.

How Do I Return Large Furniture Items Delivered to My Home?

You can return large furniture items by scheduling a pickup of the product to be returned.

To schedule your large furniture piece to be picked up, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign-In or Register for a Costco account.

2. Select Orders & Returns.

3. Choose the Return Items button next to the large furniture item you wish to return and follow the provided prompts to complete your return request.

4. You’ll then be sent an email with additional instructions to schedule a pickup at your home.

Should I Refuse Delivery if an Item is Damaged?

Yes.

If you made an online furniture purchase through Costco.com, you can refuse an item upon delivery if there is damage.

Also, it’s worth noting that Costco’s return policy states customers can refuse products where the item or box shows signs of damage.

So be sure to check the item carefully before signing off on the furniture delivery as it will save you the MAJOR headache of having to return it at a later date.

Can I Return Furniture If I Simply Don’t Like It?

Yes.

You absolutely can return furniture if you don’t like it….at ANY TIME.

Because Costco has a “100% satisfaction guarantee” you can return an item for any reason and they’ll take it back.

But What If I Spill Red Wine on My Couch?

Not a problem.

You’ll probably get some dirty looks from Costco employees if you try to do this, but I’m sure it’s been done before.

Expect to have to wait for a manager’s approval on this type of return.

It’s worth noting that you could run into a manager who will NOT allow your return, in which case, you’ll have to contact the Costco Corporate office.

Can I Return a Couch that My Dog Peed On?

Surprisingly, yes.

This includes damage caused by pets, everyday wear and tear, damage from natural disasters, or other damage caused by the buyer.

I hit up Costco Live Chat and asked this question specifically and was told, “I have seen crazier things be returned.”

Seems like a crazy policy and one that would be easily abused.

Update: Women Returning 2.5 Year Old Couch Sparks Debate

A Seattle women recently bragged on TikTok about returning a couch to Costco that was almost 3 years old and the Internet went wild.

She said she just didn’t like the color anymore and built up the gumption to return it.

She said it was little intimidating as everyone was staring at her, but they verified the purchase in their system and gave her a full refund for the price she paid.

It’s my take that Costco’s return policy is not designed for people who simply decide they don’t “like it” two years later, after they’ve happily lived on it with their kids and pets.

It’s designed to help you out if the item prematurely breaks or wears down before it should.

I feel like the “couch lady” took advantage of a loophole in the system, and if this trend continues, I’m not sure how Costco can keep such a liberal return policy.

Time will tell on this one.

Ask the Reader: Have you ever returned furniture to Costco that you simply didn’t like or was damaged by something you did? Let me know if you met any resistance from Costco.
