The Lowdown on the Gap Return Policy

Did you expect a Gap item to fit better, or did the picture that enticed you to buy something deceive you? Don't be disappointed! DoNotPay is here to help you return your item to Gap. Here is our guide on how you can deal with returns by yourself without bothering with the Gap return policy. If you want to skip the research, let DoNotPay do the hard work for you.

The Basics of the Gap Return Policy

If you want to return an item to Gap, it should be done within 45 days from the purchase—this applies to items bought at Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic. If you buy something from Athleta, you can return it within 60 days of purchase.

The items need to be:

• Unused
• Unwashed
• In their original condition

Items that are damaged or defective can be returned at any time. You cannot return face masks and final sale items to Gap.

What To Know Before Starting the Return Procedure

There are some exceptions that you will need to consider before returning your items:

• Items bought online can be returned online or at a store but cannot be returned to the factory or outlet
• Items marked Mail only or bought on the Instagram or Facebook Shop cannot be returned to the store
• Items bought at the store cannot be returned online
• Swimwear needs to have original price tags and hygienic liner intact
• Sunglasses can be returned only with the original receipt, attached tags, and complimentary case. Defective sunglasses can be returned at any time
• Those who are returning gifts can get a replacement item or Options gift cards instead of a refund

How To Return Your Item to Gap via Mail

Returns to Gap via mail are free. To initiate the process, here is what you need to do:

1. Create a Gap Returns Shipping Label with USPS or UPS using the interactive returns process—If you don’t wish to use the Gap Returns Shipping Label, mail your return to 100 Gap Inc. Direct Gateway, Groveport, OH 43125. Note that you will have to pay for shipping
2. Prepare the parcel securely with the original packing slip and packaging
3. Affix the label on the parcel and remove or cover any other shipping labels

When the return parcel is ready, you can mail it using these carriers:

• USPS—Give it to the delivery guy, drop it off at the nearest post office, or schedule a free pick-up
• UPS—Drop it off at the nearest location

When Gap receives your return items, a refund will be applied to your card. It may take up to ten business days to see the refund in your account.

What if I Want an Exchange?

If you would like an exchange, add the following steps:

1. Browse for the item that you would like to order
2. Contact the Gap customer service to order the item

Your credit card will be billed for the exchange item, and it will be shipped for free. Once your return is processed, you will receive a refund on your card for the amount billed for the exchange item.

How To Return an Item to the Gap Store

If you want to deal with this issue in person, here is what you need to do:

1. Find the store closest to you
2. Bring the item with the invoice or shipping confirmation email
3. Find a sales representative and tell them you want to return your item and ask for a refund or exchange

Items bought at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta can only be returned to the store of the same brand. For example, Gap items can be returned to any Gap retail store but not to a Banana Republic store.
