What Is the Bloomingdales Return Policy?

Did you buy something from Bloomingdale’s and want to return it?

You should know the Bloomingdale’s return policy to ensure you can return your purchase and get a refund.

According to the Bloomingdales return policy, you can return most items within 90 days to get a refund if the item is still in saleable condition.

What if you don’t have a receipt? What are items you can’t return?

I wrote this guide to answer these questions (and more). I’ll discuss the Bloomingdale’s return policy, including return exceptions and processes.

Let’s begin.

What Is the Bloomingdales Return Policy?

Bloomingdale’s lets you return most items within 90 days for a refund, provided you have the receipt and your purchase is still in saleable condition.

However, the return policy also has special guidelines and exceptions, which I’ll discuss later.

What If I Don’t Have My Receipt?

A Bloomingdales return without receipt is possible, but you won’t get a refund. Bloomingdale’s will only issue a merchandise or store credit based on the item’s lowest selling price in the last 180 days.

The store may ask for your name and address if they don’t have the information on file or can’t find your transaction in the system.

I recommend bringing at least one valid ID when returning merchandise to a Bloomingdale’s location.
