  3. Select the product and a reason for the return
  4. Repeat the third step for each product if there is more than one item
  5. Verify your selections

After submitting, you will see the options for your return based on where you purchased the item. See one of the options below to discover your next steps!

The Express Online Return Policy

After completing the steps for starting a return, the company allows you to conduct Express online returns in two ways:

  • By mail:
    • Print out the SmartLabel shipping label
    • Place the items and the packing slip inside a package
    • Remove any addresses or barcodes from the original shipping
    • Attach the shipping label to the outside of the box
    • Drop off the package at a UPS location and send it to EXPRESS – Returns, 30 Transport Drive, Walton, KY 41094
  • By bringing the items to any Express store in the U.S:
    • Find an Express store near you
    • Bring the products and the packing slip or shipping confirmation email
    • Do it within 60 days of purchase to get a refund

If you choose the first option, note that Express will deduct $6.99 from your refund for the return label cost.

The Express Store Return Policy

If you made a purchase at a store, the company does not allow you to send the items back by mail. Express will accept the products back only if you bring them to any Express store.

If you are wondering how to carry out the Express return without the receipt, there is a chance to get a refund! The store will try to find your purchase in the system, and you will get a refund if they do. If your information is not there, you will get neither a refund nor store credit, but you can exchange the item for another product of the same value.

The Express Factory Outlet Return Policy

The Express Outlet return policy is the same as the standard Express return policy. If you bought the item online, you have 60 days and two ways to send it back—mail it or take it to the store. When it comes to in-store purchases, the item must be returned to an Express store along with the receipt.
