Estee Lauder Online Return Policy

START A RETURN

Your satisfaction is important to us. If you are not satisfied with your online purchase, we are happy to refund your purchase price if the return complies with our return policy.

We accept returns for products purchased from esteelauder.com only, and all returns are inspected upon return. Products purchased from Esteelauder.com must be returned in new or gently used condition and within 60* days from date of purchase. Additionally, returns of items that qualified for a free promotional item(s) must be returned with the free promotional item(s). If you are returning a gift order and do not want the refund to be issued to the original form of payment, please chat with us. Please note: 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 Lauder. All Estee Lauder eGift Card purchases are subject to CashStar’s return policies. Shipping and delivery fees are not refundable. Esteelauder.com 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.

*Refunds for returns received after 60 days are not guaranteed and will be made at the sole discretion of Esteelauder.com. If issued in these instances, Esteelauder.com has the right to provide the refunded amount in the form of an electronic gift card or a refund check.

For items returned within our returns policy, the purchase price will be refunded to the original form of payment. If the payment was split between a Esteelauder.com 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.

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. If you would like to return or exchange an item you received as a gift, please chat with us and we will be happy to assist. Please note: eGift cards, gift cards, promotional items, final sale items, or products purchased somewhere other than Esteelauder.com are not eligible for return online.

Exchange Instructions
