Overstock Return & Refund Policy

Overstock Return Policy

Overstock accepts return items, but the customers will typically need to begin the process of returning the item before 30 days have passed since it was originally purchased. There are also numerous items sold by Overstock that are not returnable.

Another thing customers wishing to return items need to keep in mind is that the return policy is different on items bought directly from Overstock than it is on items bought from 3rd party sellers. There are 3rd party sellers using the Overstock website to sell items, and customers who buy from these vendors must consult the return policy of the 3rd party seller.

Who has to pay for shipping?

The costs of return shipping are paid by Overstock if the item is returned because it is defective in some way. However, customers will have to pay for return shipping if they decide to return a product that is not defective. When refunds are processed, they are typically credited to the payment method that was used to purchase the item. It may take up to around five days for refund amounts to be credited to the card that purchased the returned item. Refunds also may take longer due to processing times at the particular financial institution from which the payment card was issued.

In terms of 3rd party vendors, the Overstock return policy directs customers to the Marketplace Seller page for the seller. This page should detail the refund and return policy of the 3rd party vendor.

1. You will first need to log into your account so that you can initiate your return. Remember that you must do this within 30 days of purchasing or receiving the item in question.

7. You can choose "Get Mobile Code", "Print Label", or "Email Link". If you choose "Get Mobile Code", you don't have to print out your label yourself. Instead, you can take your package in to UPS.
