Love it or return it — it’s that simple. We want you to feel amazing in your pieces, and if something isn’t quite right, we’ve made returns easy.
We accept returns for an exchange, store credit, or refund on eligible items sent back within 14 days of delivery. Choose store credit and we’ll add a 10% bonus to your return value — automatically.
We highly recommend adding Checkout+ at checkout.
Checkout+ includes free returns on eligible items and protects your package in the event it is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. Return shipping is covered — please note that shipping on exchange orders is not included.
If Checkout+ is not selected, you can still return or exchange your items — a $12 return label fee will apply. Please note that if Checkout+ is not selected, RIOT is not responsible for packages that are lost, stolen, or damaged once marked delivered by the carrier.
Final sale items are not eligible for returns or exchanges. When purchasing a final sale item, Checkout+ applies to package protection only.
A few quick notes:
-
Shipping costs and package protection are non-refundable

Checkout+ includes free returns on US orders only. Please see information on International Returns below.

A $12 return label fee applies if Checkout+ wasn’t selected. If items from the same order are returned in separate shipments, additional fees may apply

- Store credit is issued as a digital gift card and is valid for one year after date of issue
- Returns are processed within 5–7 business days from the date they arrive at our warehouse. Exchanges are processed once your return has been received and inspected — if approved, your exchange order will ship within 1–2 business days after inspection.

To be eligible for return, exchange or store credit, your return request must be submitted within 14 Â calendar days from the date your order was delivered.Â
Returns received outside of this window will not be accepted.
All returns must be submitted and approved through our return portal. Return requests are reviewed and approved within 1 business day, Monday through Friday.
Please note that return labels expire on the 7th day from when they are issued, so we kindly ask that you ship your item back before the expiration date. If the return closes, a new label will not be provided.

Restocking Fee Policy
In special cases where we make an exception to our standard return policy, a 20% restocking fee may apply. These exceptions are granted at our discretion and are not guaranteed.
The fee helps cover the cost of processing, inspecting, and restocking items that fall outside our standard return workflow. It will only be applied to the item or items being returned.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to uphold our policies while maintaining a smooth and consistent return process.
Important Note on Return Eligibility
We take hygiene and product integrity seriously. For the safety and satisfaction of our community, we are unable to accept returns that show signs of wear. This includes:
- Â Any stains, including light markings from trying on
- Â Scents or residue including deodorant, perfume, body odor, oils, makeup, lotions, or washing powder
- Â Removed or missing hygiene liners
- Damage or visible wear
All returns are carefully inspected. If an item is received in less than perfect condition, it will be sent back to you. We document all ineligible returns with photo and video for transparency. Once a return is deemed ineligible, exceptions cannot be made.
In special cases where we make an exception to our standard return policy, a 20% restocking fee may apply. These exceptions are granted at our discretion and are not guaranteed.
RIOT monitors return activity across all accounts. Customers with an unusually high return frequency may be flagged at our discretion. We reserve the right to limit or deny returns from accounts that show patterns inconsistent with our policy.
RIOT reserves the right to reject any return received outside of the return window or not in original condition. Items that do not meet our policy will be sent back.
Thank you for helping us maintain a clean, high-quality experience for everyone.
