How long do I have to return items to Pacsun online?

Sarah, a college student from Texas, recently bought two pairs of jeans during Pacsun's back-to-school sale. When they arrived, one pair was too tight. She panicked - would she miss the return window?

According to Pacsun's 2024 policy updates, you have 30 days from the delivery date to initiate returns. Retail Dive's 2023 report shows this aligns with the average (28 days) for teen apparel retailers.

  1. Check your order confirmation email for the exact delivery date
  2. Visit Pacsun's returns portal within 30 days
  3. Select the items you're returning and print your prepaid label

Does Pacsun accept returns without tags?

  1. You have original purchase proof (email receipt works)
  2. The item shows no signs of wear
  3. You contact support via chat before mailing
