1. Start Your Return
If you have an account with us or you are a Vans Family member, log into your account and go to your order history to initiate the return process.
If you purchased as a guest, click on the Track My Order link, enter your 8 digit Order Number and the email address you used on your order. Once you are in the Order Details Page click on the 'Create a Return/Track my return' button.
2. Choose your options
To complete the return order, you will need to:
1. Select the item(s) to return.
2. Select the reason for the return.
3. Select the return method.
4. If you have chosen home pick up you'll need to schedule the return with the carrier.
3. Prepare your Return label or QR/Barcode
Opted for the digital code? On the return confirmation page, click on the 'Download Your Code' button. This will generate the QR/Barcode you need to show in the drop off point. You'll also receive this via email to your chosen email address.
No need to print anything; simply show your confirmation email at your preferred drop off point and they'll print and attach the label to your parcel.
Choose Home Pick up? On the return confirmation page, click on the 'Print Return Label' button. This will generate the label you will need to print to return the item(s). If you do not have access to a printer, please contact us.
4. Pack
Pack the items you would like to return. We encourage you to reuse the original shipping package in respect for our environment. Seal securely and attach the return label on the outside of your package.
Please make sure all old shipping labels, stickers, and other materials have been removed from the outside of the package or covered up.
5. Give it to the carrier
Drop off the package at the preferred selected location within the opening hours. Please present your downloaded barcode and they will print it and stick it to the parcel.
For home pick up, please wait for the carrier to pick up at your address. Make sure someone is at home when the carrier is scheduled to come to pick up the package.
You'll receive a confirmation of this in your inbox along with a tracking number.
See The Carrier Did Not Pick up my Booked Return, if the carrier failed to pick up the package at the scheduled time.
6. Receive updates
You'll be able to track you return right up until it has been fully processed.
You'll receive email updates as soon as your returned products have been received, and processed. This might take up to 2-3 business days after we've received your return.
If there's anything wrong with your return (e.g. products not corresponding to your purchase, products returned with a decreased commercial value, etc.), we will inform you via email.
7. Receive refund
Once your return is inspected and accepted by our quality assurance team, we will release your refund to your original form of payment. The whole process, from when you've handed the parcel to the carrier to when the refund is visible on your account, can take up to 14 days.
Note:
If you do not want to follow the procedure described above, you are free to choose your preferred return method. Please keep in mind that, if you make a return using a carrier of your choice, instead of using our free returns option, the cost of returning the goods will be at your expense, you will bear the risk of damage or loss of the goods during a return until the goods reach us and that the return and refund process may take longer.
We recommend that you use the above procedure for your returns. Alternatively, you can send us a request to withdraw from your purchase by using the Model Cancellation Form set out in Section 7 of the Terms of Sale.
You can view your order number on the order or shipping confirmation email we sent to you. If you are an account holder, you can log into My Account and click on Orders to find your order number.
