Step 1:

  • To initiate a formal review of your apparel, you should navigate to the AE Online Returns portal to link your order history or email confirmation to your request.

  • Formally documenting your items through this digital registry is a necessity for the logistics team to generate a USPS shipping label or a digital QR code for a contactless drop-off.

  • Validating your purchase through the official portal allows Real Rewards members to access the "Instant Credit" feature, providing an e-gift card immediately upon initiating the return process.

Step 2:

  • Prior to initiating a return, verify that the items remain in an unworn, unwashed, and undamaged state, ensuring all original labels and hygienic liners are securely in place.

  • Confirm you have your original proof of purchase such as a digital invoice, order email, or history page ready to facilitate a full refund to your original payment method.

  • Compiling these details ensures that even without a paper receipt, the store or warehouse team can accurately verify the purchase price and avoid limiting your resolution to a simple size exchange.

Step 3:

  • To secure professional assistance or to clarify a damaged item claim, you should visit the official Contact Us website to engage with a representative via live chat.

  • Securely packaging your return for mail-in processing allows the warehouse team to verify the contents; please allow for the standard transit and processing window before the credit appears in your account.

  • If you prefer an immediate resolution, you may take your online or in-store purchase to any AE, Aerie, or Factory store location to finalize your exchange or refund at the specialized service counter.
