Additional Information

Refund and Exchange Policy

The business states:
If for any reason you are not happy with your Talbots or Haven Well Within purchase, we will accept returns and exchanges of ticketed, unworn, unwashed, or defective merchandise, and unopened, unused products such as fragrance, candles, etc. with a valid receipt within 60 days of purchase. Merchandise purchased as Final Sale cannot be returned or exchanged.

Talbots Retail stores & our Distribution Center (returns by mail) can only accept returns of merchandise purchased from Talbots Retail stores, online, or phone orders.
Talbots Outlet stores can only accept returns of merchandise purchased from Talbots Outlet stores.

Returns or exchanges made within 60 days will be credited to the original selling price (minus any credits received), to your original form of payment, unless a merchandise credit is preferred. If the original form of payment was a gift card or the merchandise being returned was received as a gift, the method of refund will be a merchandise credit. If your original form of payment was cash or a check, a corporate check may be issued within 7-10 business days, unless a merchandise credit is preferred.

Merchandise credits have many benefits: they never expire, our associates (in our stores and ordering through our catalog) will be able to look up your balance, and your balance will be printed on your store receipt or is viewable at check-out on talbots.com. Merchandise credits are unable to be used to purchase Talbots and Haven Well Within Gift Cards.

If you do not have a receipt and/ or we are unable to locate a record of your purchase, but the merchandise is still ticketed and returned within 60 days as indicated above, a merchandise credit may be issued for the current selling price, including all applicable discounts and promotions. Valid Government-Issued identification is required for returns and exchanges made without a receipt.

Talbots and Haven Well Within Gift Cards are for merchandise purchases only and are unable to be used to purchase other Talbots or Haven Well Within Gift Cards. Gift Cards can be redeemed at any Talbots store, online at talbots.com, or by calling 1.800.825.2687. Gift Cards do not have an expiration date, are not returnable, in whole or in part, and cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash or check (except as required by law), or used as a credit for payment of a Talbots Credit Card.
