What Is The Loft Holiday Return Policy?

Items returned outside of the 30 day window will be reimbursed in the form of store credit or a gift card, or otherwise not accepted.

Note:

In a Twitter thread in 2018, the Loft offered an extended return policy, in which items purchased between November 1st and December 24th can be returned to the store any time between the purchase date and January 31st.

However, in the years since, all indications are that the extended return policy for the holiday has been discontinued.

How Do I Make a Return?

Returns can be made in-store, mailed in, or even internationally.

Making Returns In-Store:

Bring your merchandise in original condition: unwashed, unworn

Bring a receipt or other form of proof of purchase.

Making Returns Online/By Mail:

– Go online and fill out the necessary information to return your selected items

– Print return label or invoice

– Pack your items in their original condition, along with proof of purchase and return label

– Attach your prepaid shipping label.

Note: You can also choose to pay shipping for your package instead of using the prepaid shipping label, which will save the deduction from your refund.

– Drop the package off at your preferred shipping service.

Note: Be sure to get the tracking number so you can track your package to be sure it arrives at the appropriate destination.

Making International Returns:

Contact Customer Service to begin the process of making your return.

Returns shipped with Borderfree will give you a refund on any duties and taxes

Returns shipped with Borderfree will be refunded to you in the original currency used to pay for them.

What Happens After I Make A Return?

After you make your return, it will be processed, and the refund or credit applied if it is accepted.

Refunds will be made in the form of store credit or refunded to the original method of payment.

For returns made in-store, the return can be processed immediately, and the only delay may be the processing of funds to a credit card. The bank may take 5 to 7 business days to fully process the refund and for the money to show up in your account.

For returns made by mail, allow a few days for the package to arrive at the designated processing location. Then allow for the expected 5 to 7 business days for the funds to be returned.

For refunds in the form of a gift card or store credit, mail-in returns will be refunded with an E-Gift Certificate, sent to your email.

International returns may take longer to be shipped and processed, so be sure you allow plenty of time for the shipping.

– You may want to give yourself several extra days for the package to be in transit if you’re shipping overseas.

Does The Policy Change If I Use a Service Like Klarna or Afterpay?

According to consumer reports and Twitter threads by individuals like Knoji, the Loft currently does not accept services like Klarna or Afterpay. They do accept major credit cards, as well as their own rewards program.

As such, their return policies are not really affected by ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ practices.

It remains to be seen if their policies will change in the future, and how that will affect their return policies.

If you want to ask about the possibility of using ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ services, your best option is to contact The Loft Customer Service Representatives for first-hand information.

Final Thoughts

The Loft policy is fairly straightforward, and doesn’t require you to remember changing windows, or different procedures during the busy holiday season.

It does offer a somewhat shorter return window than some other retailers, but it’s still simple and easy to manage.

The biggest difficulty the Loft return policy might have is with its International shipping and returns, due to the extra time required for transport.

You’ll also want to shop later, in order to have time for returning gifts that don’t quite work out after the holiday.

Even so, if you’re one of those individuals who do their Christmas shopping in December, this policy should pose no problems for you.
