  3. 3Download the QR code or print the prepaid USPS return label from the Returns Portal.
  4. 4Package your items securely and take the package to any post office (with QR code) or drop it in any USPS mailbox (with printed label).
  5. 5A $3.99 return shipping fee will be deducted from your refund for mail returns.
  6. 6To return online purchases for free, bring them to any physical H&M store with your order confirmation or packing slip.
  7. 7Monitor your refund status — in-store refunds process within 14 days; mail refunds may take up to 30 days.

When You Can Get a Refund

  • Items must be in their original, unused condition — unworn, unwashed, and unaltered.
  • Tags and labels should be attached, though items without tags may be accepted at manager's discretion if clearly unworn.
  • Proof of purchase (receipt) is required for a refund to the original payment method — without a receipt, only exchanges at current selling price are offered.
  • In-store purchases must be returned to a physical H&M store — they cannot be returned by mail.
  • Online purchases can be returned for free at any H&M store or by mail using the prepaid USPS label ($3.99 fee deducted from refund).
  • H&M Home items purchased online must be returned by mail only — they cannot be returned in-store.
  • Items picked up in-store (from online orders) must be returned in-store, not by mail.
  • Only the original cardholder can receive a refund to the payment method; others will receive store credit or an exchange.

All Refund Methods

  • Original payment method (credit card, debit card): refund processed within up to 14 days for in-store returns, up to 30 days for mail returns
  • Store credit or exchange at current selling price if no receipt is available
  • Gift card refund for items returned with a gift receipt
  • Klarna purchases: return reported via H&M Account Page, Klarna handles invoice hold and refund processing

Partial Refunds

  • You can return individual items from a multi-item order and receive a refund for only the returned items.
  • The $3.99 mail return shipping fee is deducted from your refund — return in-store to avoid this fee.
  • Sale or discounted items are refunded at the price actually paid.
  • Without a receipt, exchanges are offered at the current selling price, which may be lower than what you paid.

Dispute Process

  • Contact H&M customer service at 855-466-7467 for refund issues or to expedite processing.
  • Use the live chat on hm.com for real-time support with return and refund questions.
  • For Klarna payment disputes, contact Klarna directly through their app or website after reporting the return on your H&M Account Page.
  • If H&M does not resolve your issue, dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer.

Additional Notes

  • Non-returnable items: final sale items (cannot be returned or exchanged in-store or online), undergarments (final sale for hygiene reasons), swimwear with broken hygienic seal, and gift cards.
  • Final sale items can only be exchanged in-store, not refunded.
  • Designer collaborations and limited collections may have shorter return windows — e.g., Glen Martens x H&M items must be returned within 3 days (in-store) or 7 days (online).
  • H&M tracks non-receipt returns via photo ID to prevent abuse — excessive no-receipt returns may be refused.
  • H&M Members earn 1 point per dollar spent and receive a 10% discount on their first purchase, but there is no special return shipping discount for members.
  • Exchanges must be done in-store — H&M does not offer exchanges by mail.
  • Three-packs of undergarments are considered 'opened' (and thus non-returnable) once the packaging is broken, even if the individual items are unused.
