Dollar General Return and Refund Policy

You can return any item you bought from the Dollar General website as long as you do it within 30 days of the item's delivery. It is important to note that it is not the purchase date.

If you return the item within the stipulated period, you are eligible to receive a refund of the item's full price. However, they will deduct shipping fees as well as handling charges among other fees.

As far as items that cannot be returned for a refund, only gift cards from Dollar General fit into this category.

Your refund will be made to the same method of payment you used to pay for the order. If the return is due to a manufacturing defect or shipping mistake, then the shipping fee will also be refunded.

Dollar General Return and Refund Process

Once you understand Dollar General's return policy, you can initiate the return process so that you can receive your duly deserved return.

There are two ways through which you can return a Dollar General item. You can either return in to a brick and mortar store if you bought it at a physical store or mail it of you bought if from the online store.

The process of returning a Dollar General order via mail is as follows:

  1. Ensure that the item is in pristine condition.
  2. Print the shipping label and make a copy for you to keep. You will have to pay for the shipping label in advance for you to print it.

  4. Attach your billing name, order number, and address to the package. Attach the shipping label from Dollar General to a side of the package. Ensure that you make no changes whatsoever to the shipping label.

If you return the package to a physical store, then all you have to do is drop off the package at the customer support desk. You will be refunded to the original form of payment within 30 days of returning the package. You will also receive any deducted sales tax plus the full amount of the item.

Tracking Your Refund

Once the returned package reaches Dollar General, you can start tracking your refund. Unfortunately, Dollar General does not have a tool through which you can track your refund.

You will have to constantly check your payment accounts for the refund. The best way to track your refund is to contact Dollar General customer support.
