Uniqlo Return Policy—How Does It Work?

According to their return policy, Uniqlo accepts only requests you make within 30 days of the shipping date. You can see the shipping date either on your packing slip or in the order confirmation email. For in-store purchases, the 30-day countdown starts from the day you buy the product in question.

There are no restrictions on which items you can return. The only exceptions are items labeled as “final sale” at the time of purchase.

They do have a restriction on the condition of the product. The item you wish to return has to be:

  • In its original packaging
  • In its original condition—unwashed, new, and unused
  • With all the tags still on

There are two ways you can make a return:

  1. Online
  2. In store

The way of returning a product depends on where you made the purchase.

In-store returns are more straightforward—everything happens on the spot. You will have to go to the same store you’ve bought the item in.

In March 2021, Uniqlo closed over 50 stores across the U.S. due to COVID-19. If there’s no longer a store at your convenience, you can ship your product. Do not ship the product to the warehouse the company uses for online returns. Instead, there’s a list of stores that accept mail returns, and you should pick the one that’s closest to you.

The waiting period depends on what method you’ve used to make the request. On the FAQ page, Uniqlo states it takes them up to 14 business days after the product reaches the warehouse to process your online return request.

If you choose to ship an item you’ve bought in store, the company needs two to four weeks to review your return request.

If you do so during an in-store return, you will be able to exchange items on the spot.
