Understanding Carters.com Return Policy
Carters.com has what they call a "Happiness Policy" on goods sold. If, within 90 days of the original purchase, you aren't completely satisfied with the product, you can return it for a full refund or exchange. If it's beyond that 90-day window or you don't have the receipt or packaging information, Carters will still exchange the items for the current selling price. This policy applies to all new, non-worn items that are purchased through Carters or OshKosh.
How to Make Returns
Carters.com accepts returns via mail and in retail outlets.
Making Returns to a Retail Outlet
To return a damaged item to a retail outlet, take the item along with the packaging slip and receipt to your nearest retail location and request a refund or exchange. If you made the purchase, make sure you take the credit or debit card you used to make the purchase with you. If the item was a gift, make sure you have the gift receipt.
Making Returns Via Mail
If you wish to make your return via mail, or you don't live near a retail outlet and need to use mail to make the return, follow these steps:
- Review the complete return policy to make sure you are sending in all the documentation needed (such as receipt, packaging information and card used to make the purchase).
- Use the interactive return tool to prepare and print a return label.
- Ship the item and the receipt to the address on the website.
- Carters will refund the money to your account. Please note, using the prepared label will deduct $6 from your refund amount.
- If the item was a gift, you will receive a merchandise credit instead of a monetary refund. This credit will be emailed to the email on file for the order.
