Can I return a package currently at my U.S. address?

Accepted Answer

Yes—we can help you return packages from your U.S. address to the original merchant.

If you’ve already received the package and want to return it from your home country, see this guide on international returns:

How it works:

You request the return.

We help coordinate and ship the package back to the merchant.

If the return is approved and processed, any refunds go directly to you.
