How To Return a Talbots Purchase by Mail

Complete the Return Form
Specify the reason for the return by providing the specific code (as detailed in the Return Form)
Make sure there are no pins or staples embedded in any item of clothing you are returning
Include the Return Form and original receipt
Affix the prepaid shipping label to the outside of the package
Give the package to your postal carrier or ship it directly via USPS

Please note that Talbots will deduct an $8.85 shipping and handling fee from any subsequent refund you receive. If you prefer to ship the item with another carrier—provided it is prepaid and insured—you can send it to Talbots Returns, 1901 State Road 240, East Greencastle, In 46135-7825.

Are There Any Limitations to the Talbots Return Policy?

Yes—not all products can be returned. The eligibility depends on what they are, how they were purchased, and their condition. You may not return items that meet any of the following criteria:

Products marked as “Final Sale” when purchased
Worn or washed clothing
Opened or used items, such as candles or fragrances
Gift cards

Does Talbots Offer Refunds?

You may qualify for a full refund provided you meet a few specific conditions. If you return an item within 60 days of the purchase, you are entitled to a full refund to the original payment method. You will only receive merchandise credit if you originally bought the product with a gift card or received it as a present.

How Long Does It Take To Receive a Refund?

Refunds for purchases made with a credit card will be issued immediately and will only be subject to delays resulting from the processing performed by your bank. It may take two to four weeks for the refund to appear on your bank statement. If you bought the item with cash or a check, Talbots will issue a refund in the form of a corporate check within seven to ten business days.

Do You Need a Receipt?

If you lost the receipt for an item you want to return, you may be eligible for merchandise credit. You must provide a government-issued photo ID to return a product without a receipt. To qualify, the item must meet the following two criteria:

Purchased within 60 days of the return
With its original tags

How Do Returns Affect Style Points?

Talbots credit card holders who return items will have their Style Points deducted in equal measure to the refund. For example, returning an item purchased for $100 will result in a deduction of 100 Style Points.
