Breaking Down the Shoe Dept. Return Policy

Most retailers complicate their return policies so much so that you give up on the idea of filing a return request and asking for a refund. They usually don’t make an effort to explain everything properly. That’s why DoNotPay is here to help. In this article, we’ll focus on the Shoe Dept. return policy and explain how it works.

Aside from that, we’ll present you with an alternative, more efficient method of filing a return request—using DoNotPay. With us, you can file a request with Shoe Dept. Encore, as well as a plethora of other companies—including Garmin, Shoes.com, and UGG—in no time.

Shoe Dept. Return Policy—General Terms

You have to file a return request within 30 days of the day you receive your shipment. Otherwise, Shoe Dept. Encore will not review your request.

The exception to this rule is if you make a purchase during the holiday season. According to the company’s return policy, any purchase made between November 1 and December 31 will be eligible for return until February 1.

Shoe Dept. Encore only accepts return requests for unworn merchandise that you send in the original box or packaging.

There are a few ways you can file a return request, as shown in the table below:

2. Print out the return form you receive after step one
3. Pack your item (and its original packaging) inside a strong carton box
4. Place the return form and the packing slip inside the box
5. Affix the postage to the outside of the box
6. Ship the box to SHOE SHOW, INC./Internet Administrator, 2201 Trinity Church Rd., Concord, NC, 28027
