How to Get a Refund — Step by Step

  1. 1In store: take the items and your Zara QR or receipt to any Zara store (someone else can go for you).
  2. 2By drop-off (online purchases only): request the return in the Returns section of your account, or via the 'Manage Your Order' link in your order email if you checked out as a guest.
  3. 3Zara emails instructions and the labels (or a barcode/QR code) for each package.
  4. 4Pack the items in any properly sealed packaging and drop them at the shipping company's location before the return period ends.
  5. 5You'll get a confirmation email when the return is completed; your reimbursement invoice is in your order detail.

When You Can Get a Refund

  • Items must be new, unworn, unwashed and unaltered, with all internal garment tags attached.
  • Return in the same market/region where you bought the item; items bought in Puerto Rico or outside the US can't be returned in the US.
  • In-store returns need your Zara QR or receipt; Zara does not accept in-store purchase returns without a receipt.
  • Online purchases can be returned free at any Zara store, or at a drop-off point for $4.95 per return request (deducted from the refund).
  • Drop-off (mail) returns are only for online purchases; online orders paid at a store register must be returned in a store.
  • Undergarments and swimwear must be in their original packaging with the hygiene sticker attached; accessories, cosmetics and perfumes must be unused and in original packaging.
  • Registered users can request an online exchange and must send back the original item within 14 days; online exchanges aren't available for PayPal or Apple Pay purchases.

All Refund Methods

  • Refunds go to the original payment method, for both online and in-store purchases
  • If the original payment method isn't available, store staff will indicate an alternative (merchandise credit, which doesn't expire)
  • Purchases paid only with a gift card are refunded as merchandise credit (to a Zara Gift Card)

Partial Refunds

  • The $4.95 drop-off return cost is deducted from your refund; return in store to avoid it.
  • Expedited shipping paid on the original order is not refunded.
  • If you send items in different packages, refunds may be issued at different times.

Dispute Process

  • Contact Zara customer service through the Help Center on zara.com or by chat.
  • Call Zara US customer service at 1-855 635 9272.
  • If you don't see the credit within 14 days, show your return confirmation email to your bank so it can help trace the refund.

Additional Notes

  • Monogrammed or customized products cannot be returned or exchanged.
  • Sale merchandise is sold 'as-is', subject to applicable law.
  • Price adjustments are not honored for marked-down merchandise.
  • Return online purchases at a Zara store to avoid the $4.95 drop-off fee.
  • Zara may refuse returns or close accounts if it suspects fraud or excessive returns.

Zara package delivered in wrong location and likely stolen. Zara and delivery company won’t refund. Credit card company won’t dispute

Location: Texas I spent almost $200 on Zara to a university mail center. They delivered when the mail center was closed and left it out in the open to the rest of the residence hall (in which the university is in) instead of in the drop off area. I go to the mail center and tell them. They said they
