Hollister Return Policy

Hollister aims to provide premium products to all its customers. If you do not like your purchases, they offer a Hollister return policy for goods maintained in the original condition. The policy is available within 30 days (60 days if purchased at a US store), subject to the policy terms of the location of return.

Apparel maintained in its original condition can be returned or exchanged at the store where it was purchased. Note that returns cannot be made across brands, meaning purchases from Hollister Co. can only be returned within the same brand and not across the Abercrombie & Fitch brand.

Returns are also accepted in-store and cannot be mailed to the stores where purchases are made in-store. Merchandise bought at outlets can only be returned at the outlet location within the same brand in the country of purchase
