SKIMS Return Policy: 30 Days, $6.00 Fee & Holiday Returns

SKIMS keeps its US return policy short, but a few details decide whether you get your money back and whether you pay a fee. Here is what the official SKIMS returns page says for US orders.

How long you have to return SKIMS

You can make a return within 30 days of placing your order, for either a store credit or a refund ¹. Note that the clock starts when you order, not when the package arrives. The full policy adds that new, unworn and unwashed merchandise can be returned within 30 days with proof of purchase ¹.

What condition items must be in

Items must be in original condition, unworn, unwashed and with their tags still attached ¹. That includes liners: all tags and liners must still be on the item, and anything without tags should come back in its original packaging ¹.

SKIMS handles every return case by case and has the final say on whether an item is unworn and unwashed ¹. Products marked Final Sale can't be returned ¹.

The $6.00 return fee and how to avoid it

Domestic returns cost a $6.00 return shipping fee ¹. There are two ways around it:

• Choose store credit. The fee is waived when you select store credit as your form of return payment ¹.
• Join SKIMS Rewards. SKIMS offers free returns to SKIMS Rewards members who download the SKIMS app ¹.

Original shipping fees are not refunded either way ¹.

How to return a SKIMS order

Online orders can be returned three ways ¹:

1. Happy Returns Return Bar: start the return online, pick the items and the reason, then bring them to a Return Bar and show the QR code Happy Returns emails you ¹. You don't need a box or label, and the refund or store credit exchange starts at drop off ¹.
2. By mail ¹.
3. In person at a SKIMS store location ¹.

A few restrictions apply. Combined returns are prohibited, and SKIMS can't generate return labels for APO/FPO addresses ¹.

Outlet and in-store purchases

SKIMS Outlet purchases may only be returned at SKIMS Outlets or on skims.com, and items bought at regular SKIMS stores or on skims.com can't be returned at an outlet ¹.

Bought something in a SKIMS store? You can return it online or in a store, but an online return only works if you gave your email address at checkout for a digital receipt or linked the purchase to your SKIMS account ¹. Without that, the item can only go back to a SKIMS store ¹.

Refunds, store credit and exchanges

Refunds go back to the original method of payment only, including prepaid credit cards, or you can choose store credit ¹. Gift returns are always issued as store credit ¹.

SKIMS doesn't describe a separate exchange process; through Happy Returns, swaps are handled as store credit exchanges ¹.

If you paid with Klarna and choose store credit, your Klarna payment plan stays active and still has to be paid off ¹.

If SKIMS agrees to a refund after 30 days, or you have no proof of purchase, the money goes to a SKIMS gift card unless local law requires otherwise ¹.

Holiday returns for 2026

Orders placed between Oct 29 and December 31, 2026, can be returned through Feb 1, 2027 ¹. The extension doesn't apply to items bought as final sale or to collab items ¹.

Tips before you send it back

• Try shapewear and bras on carefully, and leave the liners in place; removed liners can make an item non-returnable ¹.
• Pick store credit if you'll shop SKIMS again, since it waives the $6.00 fee ¹.
• Give your email at checkout in a SKIMS store so you keep the option to return online ¹.
• Very frequent or unreasonable returns can lead SKIMS to reject future orders or returns ¹.
