Summary: There can be a lot of unknowns when returning items to Target. We break down the 90 day window, the RedCard extension, and the exceptions.

---

Returns for Most Items:

- Target accepts returns for a refund or exchange within 90 days for most unopened items in new condition.
- Target Circle Card holders (debit or credit) and Target Circle 360 members get an extra 30 days to return nearly all items bought with their Target Circle Card, making it 120 days in total.
- Target Owned Brand items can be returned within one year with a receipt, and baby and wedding registries have up to one year after your event date to return most new, unopened items.

Returns at a Target Store:

- Bring the item and the return barcode (from your packing slip, order details page, or receipt) to Guest Service at a Target store.
- Team members at the store can also look up receipts using your original payment method.
- Without a proof of purchase, Target may issue a merchandise return card for an approved return. It can only be used in Target stores, and a government issued ID is required to get one.

Returns by Mail:

- When an item needs to be mailed back, Target provides a free return mailing label. Some items, such as hazardous materials, are only returnable in store and can’t be mailed back.
- View your order details to print a prepaid return mailing label.
- You can keep track of the return’s status on the order details page.
- You will receive an email notification when Target receives your return, letting you know when to expect your refund.

## Target Return Policy With Receipt: How Long Do You Have?

- With a valid receipt, most unopened items sold by Target in new condition and returned within 90 days are eligible for a refund or exchange.
- The return window for items sold on Target.com begins once you receive your items. This occurs when the order is delivered to you, delivered by a Shipt shopper, or picked up in store.
- Some items may have a modified return policy, which will be noted on the receipt, packing slip, Target policy board (refund exceptions), Target.com, or in the item description.
- Items that are opened, damaged, or do not have a receipt may be denied a refund or exchange.

## Target Plus™ Partner’s Return Policy:

- Most unopened items sold by a Target Plus Partner in new condition and returned within 30 days are eligible for a refund.
- The return window for items bought on Target.com from Target Plus Partners also begins once you receive your items.
- All items sold by Partners must be returned to Target, either in-store or by mail.
- Some items sold by a Target Plus Partner may have a modified return policy, which will be indicated on Target.com.
- Items that are opened or damaged may be denied a refund.
- In-store returns without an eligible receipt will be denied.
- Some items may have a shorter return window, so check the Shipping and Returns section of the individual item description.

For items sold by Target, electronics and entertainment items (excluding Apple and Beats products) must be returned or exchanged within 30 days, and all Apple and Beats products, including mobile phones, within 14 days.
