Forever 21, while very successful in maintaining their trendy brand reputation, are less known for having a great customer service.

Looking around for buyers experiences, it’s not rare to stumble into such reviews:

We dived deeply into the Forever 21 return policy to figure out why.

How many days do I have to return a purchase to Forever 21?

In a nutshell, Forever 21 allows you to return a product in a timeframe of 30 days from the date of purchase for a refund, or for an exchange.

This is the same for purchases done in one of the physical stores, and/or on the online store.

However, this has lately been changed/extended:

The return & exchange window has been expanded to 60 days for online purchases due to Corona Virus related stores closures.

Yet to see if it will change back to a 30 days return.

Hopefully it will not!

In addition to that, and similar to most retailers, the Forever 21 return policy allows customers more days to return items during holiday times, as detailed in their website.
