Talbots Return & Refund Policy

Talbots Return Policy

Customers are able to return Talbots items as long as they begin the return process within 60 days of purchasing the item in question. For returns to be accepted by Talbots, the product must be either defective in some way or unworn, unwashed, and still ticketed.

Certain products such as candles and fragrances must be unused and in their original unopened packaging to be accepted as returns. The Talbots return policy states that returns made according to these conditions will be fully refunded to the original payment form that was used to make the purchase. Customers have the option of choosing merchandise credit rather than a refund to their original payment method if they prefer. Customers who made their original purchase with either cash or check have to wait a period of 7 to 10 business days until they will be refunded via a corporate check.

While customers should have their receipt when they wish to return an item, returns can in some cases be processed and refunded without a receipt. If a customer has no receipt or way to verify the purchase but has not removed any of the tickets from the item, it's possible for a merchandise credit to be issued as a refund for the item. In this case, customers will have to present a valid government ID so that the return can be processed.

Talbots accepts returns both by mail and at retail store locations. However, customers should note that returns are only accepted at retail stores if they were purchased at retail stores. Items purchased online cannot be returned in-store.

How to Return an Item to Talbots

The process for returning a Talbots item varies depending on whether a customer decides to return an item in a store location or by mail. Customers returning an item at a store location simply need to come in with the item and their receipt. They can then see a customer service representative at the store to have their return processed.

You can use the return portal on the Talbots website to get your return started. The Talbots return portal can be used to get a return started on an item that was bought online, by phone, or via an order placed with the Concierge at a store location.

To start a return using the return portal, you will need to provide your order number and your email address. Then, you need to provide a few pieces of information on your item and your return. When you use the return portal to handle your return, you should note that you will be charged a shipping and handling fee of $8.95 if you use a USPS label that is pre-paid to return your item.

Additionally, customers can also return their items by mail. In this case, customers should find the Return Form that came along with the package they received when their order was delivered. They will need to fill out this form and include the reason why they have decided to return the time on this form. Customers will then need to label their package and ship it to the Talbots returns department. The address for Talbots returns is given below:

1901 East State Road 240
Greencastle, IN 46135-7825

If customers mail their return to this address, it could take some time before the refund appears in their account. Customers may have to wait as long as two billing cycles in this case before they see that the refund amount is credited to their account and appears in their bank or credit card statement.
