Target Return Policy: Easy Steps to Return a Faulty Product
Target Return Policy:
Most unused items purchased from Target in new condition and returned within 90 days are eligible for a refund or exchange. The return period for items bought on Target.com begins when the order is invoiced, which occurs once any portion of the order is shipped, delivered by a Shipt shopper, or prepared for pickup. Certain items have a different return policy, which is indicated on the receipt, packing slip, or Target policy board. This flexible return policy underscores Target's commitment to customer satisfaction and convenience.

Target Frequently Asked Questions:
1 Can I return beauty products that have been opened?
Most beauty products purchased in-store or online can be returned within 90 days with a receipt, even if opened. If bought with your Target Circle™ Card, the return window extends to 120 days.
2 Can I return multiple items from my Target order in the same packaging?
To return items to Target, you must print a return shipping label. Since Target orders can be shipped in separate packages, you might need to print several return labels. If multiple items are listed on the same shipping label, they can be returned together in one package.
3 Can I return a recalled product to Target for a refund?
Not all recalled products need to be returned to Target for a refund. In certain instances, you will need to contact the vendor directly for a repair, replacement, or refund.
4 Why can't I return the items I purchased through a third-party delivery service (e.g., Shipt)?
We cannot process returns for items bought through a third-party delivery service. Please reach out to the service provider directly to request a refund.
5 How will I be refunded?
Typically, refunds are processed back to the original payment method used for the purchase. If multiple payment methods were used, the refund may be distributed across all of them.
