Estee Lauder Online Return Policy

START A RETURN

If you are not satisfied with your online purchase, we’re happy to refund your purchase price if the return complies with our return policy.

Products purchased from esteelauder.com must be returned in new or gently used condition and within 30 days from the date the order is delivered. We accept returns for products purchased from esteelauder.com only, and all returns are inspected upon receipt at our warehouse.

• Returns of items that qualified for a free promotional item(s) must be returned with the free promotional item(s).
• Returns will be processed within 3 business days of receipt at our warehouse, and you will receive a credit confirmation with your refund amount once your return has been fully processed.
• For items returned within our returns policy, the purchase price will be refunded to the original form of payment.
• Refunds issued to a credit card, Estee Lauder gift card, Alipay, or for orders placed through Instagram can take up to 7-10 business days to post to your account. If another payment method was used, please reach out to that payment provider or financial institution for more information.
• Refunds for returns received after 30 days are not guaranteed and will be made at the sole discretion of Estee Online. If issued in these instances, Estee Online has the right to provide the refunded amount in the form of an electronic gift card or a refund check.
• If the payment was split between an Estee Lauder gift card and credit card, debit card, or bank-issued gift card, the credit is applied to the credit card, debit card, or bank issued gift card first. If a balance remains to be credited, it will be applied to the Estee Lauder eGift Card.

Please also note:

• Estee Online monitors return activity and reserves the right to deny returns that, in its sole discretion, do not meet the return policy requirements, in instances of abuse, or for items that were re-sent at no cost in a good faith gesture following a report of non-receipt.
• If items that are ineligible for a return are sent back to Estee Online, those items will not be mailed back to you.
• Shipping and delivery fees are not refundable.
• Engraved items and items noted as ‘final sale’ or ‘not returnable’ are not eligible for exchange or return.
• Estee Lauder eGift Cards are issued by ELC Brands Management Inc. and sold by its third-party partner, CashStar, and thus cannot be exchanged or returned to Estee Online. All Estee Lauder eGift Card purchases are subject to CashStar’s return policies.
• If you would like to return or exchange an item you received as a gift, please chat with us. eGift cards, gift cards, promotional items, final sale items, or products purchased somewhere other than esteelauder.com are not eligible for return online.
