Reebok Return Policy: 30 Days Online, Free Store Credit and a $5 Card-Refund Fee
Reebok gives you 30 days from delivery to return or exchange unworn items bought on Reebok.com, with a prepaid label provided the moment you start the return. The choice that matters is how you want your money back: store credit and footwear exchanges are free, but a refund to your original payment method carries a $5 handling fee. There is also an Instant Refund option that pays you before you ship — for $5 plus a small fee, and only if you get the parcel to the carrier within 7 days. In-store purchases get a longer 60 days at any Reebok store. This guide explains the four refund options, the two clocks, and what cannot be returned.

How to Return an Item to Reebok
- Check the 30-day clock and the condition. Your item must be unworn, unwashed and unaltered, with all original tags attached and its original packaging — the shoe box included for footwear — and you must be within 30 days of the delivery date. Final sale items cannot be returned at all.
- Start the return online. Go to the returns portal at returns.reebok.com. You will need your order number and the ZIP code it shipped to. You get a prepaid label and a packing slip right away. If you already started one, use the Return Status link in your return confirmation email to reprint your label, track it, or cancel and start over.
- Choose how you want to be refunded. Pick one when you start the return: Store Credit (free, refunded as a Reebok Gift Card), Footwear Exchange (free, swap shoes for a different size or colour), Original Payment ($5 handling fee deducted), or Instant Refund ($5 plus a small Reshop fee, paid before you ship). You will see any applicable fees and your estimated refund amount in the portal before you confirm.
- Pack it with the packing slip inside. Put the packing slip in the box — returns without one take noticeably longer to match to your order. Pack the item in its original packaging, with the shoe box for footwear, and attach the prepaid label.
- Drop it off and watch your email. Reebok emails you at each step. Your return request stays open for 28 days — after that it expires and the prepaid label stops working. If yours has expired, cancel it from your Return Status page and start a new return for a fresh label. Most refunds are issued within about five days of your package starting to move with the carrier.
How Long Do You Have to Return Items to Reebok?
The standard window is 30 days from delivery, and it is your deadline to start a return — not to have the parcel back at the warehouse. That distinction matters, because the portal gives you a prepaid label immediately and your return request then stays open for 28 days. Start inside the 30 days and you are covered, even if the parcel takes a few days to arrive.
Two other clocks run alongside it. If you choose the Instant Refund, you have only 7 days to get the package to the carrier — that is the earlier date shown in your return confirmation, and it is different from the 30-day window. Reshop emails you before it runs out and you can extend it once. Miss it anyway and the refund reverses. Every other option runs on the 30-day window only. And the 28-day return request expiry is a third clock: if you start a return and then sit on the label for a month, the request expires and the label stops working — cancel it and start a new one.
In-store purchases play by a different rule entirely: 60 days from purchase, returned to any Reebok store, unworn with tags on and footwear in its original box. In-store purchases cannot be returned through the online portal, so do not try to start them there.
What Are Reebok’s Four Refund Options?
Reebok is unusual in making you choose your refund method up front, and the choice changes what you pay. The four options, exactly as Reebok publishes them:
- Store Credit — free. Refunded as a Reebok Gift Card, with no handling fee. Gift cards and store credit arrive by email the same day the refund is issued. This is the cheapest way to get your money back if you plan to shop at Reebok again.
- Footwear Exchange — free. Swap shoes for a different size or colour, with no handling fee. Exchanges are available on shoes only. For clothing and accessories, return the item for a refund or store credit and place a new order for the size you want — that way the size you need is held for you rather than waiting on the return to land.
- Original Payment — $5. Back to the card or method you paid with a $5 handling fee deducted. The refund is issued after Reebok receives and inspects the item, and card refunds then take another 3 to 5 business days to post — that part is your bank’s timing, not Reebok’s.
- Instant Refund — $5 plus a small fee. Your money goes back to your original payment method right away, before you ship, instead of after Reebok receives the item. The standard $5 handling fee applies, plus a small Reshop fee which you will see before you confirm. Powered by Reshop, the partner that funds instant refunds. You must ship within 7 days, you can extend once, and if you miss the deadline the refund reverses.
Original shipping charges are not refunded on any option. That is the one cost Reebok never gives back, whichever refund method you choose.
What Can’t Be Returned to Reebok?
Reebok’s published acceptance rules are short, and anything outside them may be declined and returned to you:
- Final sale items — cannot be returned or exchanged for a refund or store credit, full stop.
- Worn, washed or altered items — the item must be unworn, unwashed and unaltered.
- Items with tags removed — all original tags must still be attached.
- Items without original packaging — the original packaging must be included, and the shoe box for footwear.
- Items bought elsewhere — only items purchased on Reebok.com can be returned through the portal. Department store, reseller or marketplace purchases go back to wherever you bought them, under their policy. Each international Reebok site runs its own returns.
- Items past 30 days from delivery — the window is the deadline to start the return. Reebok does say to get in touch if your 30 days just ran out — the window is the standard policy, but Reebok would rather hear from you than leave you stuck with something you cannot wear.
If your item arrived damaged, defective or wrong, do not start a standard return at all. Contact Reebok instead and it will make it right — and you will not pay a handling fee for Reebok’s mistake.
How Are Refunds Issued and How Long Do They Take?
Reebok publishes a clear timeline, and it is faster than most rivals. End to end, most returns take about nine days from the day you start one to the day the refund is issued. The steps:
| Stage | Timing |
|---|---|
| You start the return | Right away — prepaid label and packing slip issued immediately |
| You drop it off | Your return request stays open for 28 days |
| We receive and inspect it | On arrival — you get a “we’ve received your return” email |
| Your refund is issued | About 5 days after you ship, counting from the day the package starts moving with the carrier. |
| It reaches your account | Card refunds take 3–5 business days to post; gift cards and store credit arrive by email the same day. |
Two things stretch that timeline: carrier delays, and a missing packing slip. A return without a packing slip still works, but it takes longer to match the package to your order, which delays the refund. If you took the Instant Refund, you already have your money and this timeline just settles it. Holiday and peak periods run longer than the usual five days.
Is Returning Different for Store and Online Purchases?
Yes, and the difference is bigger than at most retailers. An item bought on Reebok.com gets 30 days from delivery, a prepaid label, and four refund options including the Instant Refund. An item bought in a Reebok store gets 60 days from purchase — twice as long — returned to any Reebok store, unworn with tags on and footwear in its original box. But the store route has no online portal, no prepaid label and no Instant Refund: you carry the item to a store yourself.
The two routes do not cross. In-store purchases cannot be returned through the online portal, and online purchases returned in store are not part of the published process — the portal is the route for online orders. A third route, the department store or marketplace, belongs to that seller entirely: Reebok states plainly that it is not able to process returns for items it did not sell you directly. If you bought Reebok at a department store, a reseller or a marketplace, return it there.

Conclusion
Reebok’s return policy is fast and flexible, but it rewards the shopper who picks the right refund option. Store credit and a shoe exchange cost nothing; a card refund costs $5; an Instant Refund costs $5 plus a small fee and puts a 7-day shipping clock on you. The 30-day window is your deadline to start, the 28-day request expiry is the deadline to ship, and the 60-day in-store window is twice as generous as the online one. Start the return in the portal, put the packing slip in the box, and if you want your money back for free, take the store credit.
