How Do I Return an Item to Dick's Sporting Goods?

Dick's Sporting Goods now offers safe curbside returns for items purchased online or in-store where you leave the item in the trunk of your car and call an attendant when you arrive who will ask for your order or receipt number and then come out and pick up the item without you having to leave the car. The other alternative for online purchases is mailing in your item. However, online purchases will require that you visit the website to get a return label.
