How Do I Return an Item from Target?

Introduction

Did you buy an item from Target but later decide you don't want it? Perhaps you ordered the wrong color or received something that didn't meet your expectations. Target allows customers to return most unopened items within 90 days, while most items sold by Target Plus Partners have a 30-day return window. Note that personalized items, trading cards, specialty gift cards, and select items sold by Target Plus Partners aren't eligible for return. Before starting a return, check the return policy first.

Sign in to Your Target Account

If you've already checked Target's return policy and confirmed that your item is eligible for return, sign in to your Target account to start the process. Simply enter your username and password to sign in.

Go To My Purchases

Once you're signed in, go to My Purchases to view your previous Target orders.

Click Start a Return

Find the order containing the item you wish to return and click Start a Return. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to complete your return request.

Print Your Return Label or Drop Off Your Package

You can return your item through Target's Drive Up service or mail it back. Please print the return shipping label and follow the packaging instructions. If you choose Drive Up, follow the on-screen instructions to let Target know when you're on your way or when you've arrived.

Target will provide a return label from either UPS or FedEx. If you received a FedEx QR code, visit an authorized location and present it. For UPS, attach the label to the package and drop it off at a UPS location.

Return the Item at a Store

You can also return an item purchased from Target to a physical store. If you prefer to return your item in person, use Target's Find a Store tool to search for a nearby location by ZIP code, city, or state. You can also filter the results by available services or browse the store directory. Be sure to check the Store Info before you go.

Target Plus items may also be returned in-store. Make sure the item is in its original condition, and bring your receipt or other proof of purchase. You also need the return barcode to return the item at a Target store.

Are you returning a large or heavy item? You may be able to return it to a Target store or arrange pickup if the item qualifies. Furniture and certain electronics may qualify for pickup. Keep in mind that pickups are scheduled only during business hours. If you're returning a large or heavy item, include the packing slip with your return.

Conclusion

Were you able to return your item to Target? You can return eligible items by mail, through Drive Up, or at a Target store. Once your return has been processed, the refund will be issued to your original payment method. Customers without a receipt or other proof of purchase may receive a merchandise return card instead. If you paid with a gift card, your refund may be issued as a new eGiftCard. Refunds to credit cards typically take up to five days after approval.
