January 21, 2022 / Change in American Girl Return Policies
There have been changes to American Girls' previously very generous return policy. Years ago, returns used to be unquestioned and unlimited, regardless of the time of purchase; this was later reduced to only allowing returns of items two years after the initial purchase, and then to one year after purchase.
The policy is now as follows (some policies may have been in place for some time):
Returns are only allowed within ninety days of purchase. (Added as of March 3rd, 2022)
Create Your Own products (dolls and outfits) and dolls purchased with ear piercings are not returnable or refundable.
Any shipping and processing fees are non-refundable.
Items designated as on final sale (Clearance/Last Chance) cannot be returned.
American Girl will only accept returns of products that have been purchased directly from American Girl. Products purchased at other locations (e.g. Barnes and Noble, Tuesday Morning, Amazon, specialty boutiques in Indigo/Chapters) should be returned to the original place of purchase.
Returned gifts should include the name and address of the original purchaser; AG will attempt to locate the original order information to verify proof of purchase, but the purchaser will not be notified of the item's return. If there is a retail gift receipt, a copy should be included with a return.
Merchandise credit will be issued if the purchase cannot be verified through the company rather than a refund.
Refunds or credits will be issued for the purchase price, current list price, or prorated price depending on the item or items returned.
American Girl reserves the right to assess the final value of items returned.
Refunds mailed back to the company with a pre-paid label through American Girl will have $6.95 deducted from the refund for their use.
All returns are monitored and may be limited or denied by the company.
