Dillard’s return policy

  • Timing: 30 days from purchase date
  • Return shipping charge: $9.95. You can return items purchased online or in-store for free to a Dillard’s store.
  • Refunds for mailed returns: Shipping and handling is not refundable, refunds credited to original form of payment seven to 10 days after shipment. You can alternatively request a refund to a Dillard’s gift card.
  • Gift returns: Refunded to a gift card.
  • Products not eligible for returns: Clearance merch marked down 65% or more, merch on sale with an additional discount, personalized merchandise, merchandise that’s been used or worn, merchandise with tags removed.

Dillard’s return policy is fairly restrictive — definitely something to know if you plan to shop Dillard’s. The highlights are that you need to make the return within 30 days of purchase and you must have a receipt. If you return an online order, you can pay for the return shipping yourself or use Dillard’s shipping label for $9.95, which is deducted from your refund.

Joyce,

Log in to your account on Dillards.com and click on Check Order Status at the bottom of the page. You should be able to print a return label from there. You will be responsible for the postage, though.

Diane, I'm not sure if where you purchased the shoes (in store or online), and if you have a receipt. I would call Dillard's directly to discuss your situation: 1 (800) 345-5273. Good luck! ~Catherine

Wondering if Dillards would return boots if one boot was hurting your foot? They fit but every time I have worn them the night and day after my foot gets swollen on the side where your arches are located. Its just the one foot too. I know itsthe boot. Would Dillards return this item even after wearing them a few times?
