Returns Policy & Refunds
Our returns policy is as follows:
- We offer free* returns
- Returns must be made within 30 days from the delivery date
- All merchandise must be unwashed and unworn with the original hangtags attached
- Proof of payment must accompany the return
- All garments are subject to inspection
*If you're returning from a country outside of the EU and EEA you will be subject to return postage costs.
Note: subject to your right to cancel and your statutory rights, products excluded from return are: headwear, face masks and gift cards. Swimwear must be returned with hygienic liner intact.
We totally understand that sometimes you might change your mind about something you’ve bought from us. This is why, subject to these terms, we allow returns in exchange for a full refund within thirty (30) days of the date you received the items from us. It doesn’t matter whether you purchased the product in store or online.
There are some circumstances where we cannot accept a return, so please read the below carefully before buying your items. This does not affect your statutory rights which we’ve set out in our Terms of Sale. Your consumer rights may vary depending where you made your purchase.
If we choose to accept a return and provide a refund beyond 30 days or in the event there’s no proof of purchase, we may, at our discretion, apply your refund to a lululemon gift card or in accordance with applicable local laws.
1.1. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RETURN?

· accompanied by your proof of payment (either your store or e-receipt or confirmation of your guest profile details where we can locate this for you).

1.3. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN’T RETURN?
There are some items that, sadly, we can’t accept returns for (the “Excluded Products”). We let you know this in our Terms of Sale (which you agree to at the time you buy your products from us) but just to remind you…
The Excluded Products that we cannot accept are:

· Bodysuits (where the hygienic liner is no longer intact)
· Swimwear (where the hygienic liner is no longer intact)
· Sale or markdown items (for items bought in store)

This does not affect your statutory rights. For more information, please see section 12 our Terms of Sale.
1.4. DO I HAVE TO PAY TO RETURN MY ITEMS?
We currently offer free returns for all items.
We may look to expand our returns options in the future (and some may come with a small price to pay) however we will let you know at the point of sale and/or return what these costs will be.
Please note, when you’re returning your items to us, we do not refund you for your shipping (subject to your statutory rights). This applies to all shipping methods including but not limited to standard delivery and expedited delivery. We are also not responsible for any costs incurred when you head to one of our stores to exchange or return your items, including but not limited to travel costs and parking charges.
1.5. WHERE CAN I RETURN MY ITEMS?
If you bought your items in one of our standalone stores, you can return your items to another standalone store in the same country of purchase.
If you bought your items in one of our shop-in-shops (e.g. Harrods), you need to return your item to a shop-in-shop store. We recommend returning your items to the shop-in-shop store that you made the purchase in.
If you bought your items online, you can return these to any standalone store in the country of purchase.
If you bought your items using Klarna online, you must return these via our online portal. Unfortunately, we cannot accept your return in store.
1.6. WHAT IF I BOUGHT MY ITEMS VIA eShopWorld (“ESW”)?
If you bought your items via eShopWorld, you’ll need to set up your return via the ESW platform here. Returned Products must be in new condition with hangtags attached and must be accompanied by the original receipt or invoice. All returned Products are sent at your own risk. Please note, we cannot accept exchanges or instore returns for items bought via ESW.
For more information on ESW’s returns policy and how to return, please see ESW's Terms and Conditions.
1.7. WHAT IF I BOUGHT MY ITEMS USING A PROMO CODE?
If you used a promotional code on your order and want to return some, or all, of the items, we will refund you the cost and deduct the proportionate amount of discount from the original value.
Please note that promotional codes are one time use only and cannot be reused in the event you return your items. This also applies in the event that you exchange your items with us in store.
1.8. WOULD THERE BE A TIME WHEN I CAN’T RETURN MY ITEMS?
All of the items you’re looking to return are subject to inspection by our educators. If it looks to us as though the item has been worn or washed, then we have the sole right to reject the return.
Also, as we’ve said above, we can’t accept any returns for any Excluded Product or any returns made after thirty (30) days of receipt by you – subject to your statutory rights, or in the event of a quality issue, subject to the requirements set out in our quality promise in Section 3 below.
1.9. MY ITEM HAS BEEN PERSONALISED – CAN I STILL RETURN IT?
We do not accept returns on any items that have been personalised (whether bought online or instore). This does not affect your statutory rights.
1.10. WHAT PROOF OF PURCHASE IS REQUIRED FOR A RETURN?
Except as noted otherwise, proof of purchase is required for all returns. Proof of purchase is acceptable through the original order’s packing slip, paper or online receipt, delivery confirmation, or your profile purchase history (for lululemon account holders).
1.11. WHY CAN’T I SELECT THE ITEMS I WANT TO RETURN ON THE PORTAL?
If you’ve followed all of the steps above and cannot select the items you want to return, it is either because a) it is an Excluded Product or b) more than 30 days have passed since the delivery date. This means that the return is not valid and unfortunately, we cannot accept these.
If you believe there is an error or if you would like to exchange items due to poor quality (see our quality promise to you in Section 3 below), please visit one of our lululemon stores or contact our Guest Education Centre for help.
1.12. WHAT HAPPENS IF I STILL SEND YOU MY RETURN AFTER THE RETURNS PERIOD?
If you send your items back to us outside of the returns period, we are still unable to refund you. Therefore, if we have received your items back outside of the returns period, we will credit you via an eGift Card sent to the email address linked to your order.
If you try to return your items in-store after the returns period, we will be unable to assist you and your return will be rejected.
If we receive items that are not related to your original return request, we will send these back to you. Please note, lululemon are not responsible for any items returned not in accordance with this Returns, Refunds and Repairs Policy.
1.13. WHAT IF I SEND THE WRONG ITEM OR NON-LULULEMON PRODUCT BACK FOR A RETURN?
lululemon is not, and will not be, responsible or liable for the wrong items being sent back to us during a return process. This includes the wrong lululemon item sent back to us from your order, non-lululemon items and/or any personal possessions which may be given or sent to us in addition to the products so please make sure you double-check your return and any pockets for any valuables!
1.14. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO GET MY REFUND?
Once we receive your return at our warehouse, it normally takes around 5-7 business days to process your refund. We’ll send your refund back to your original payment method.
Please keep in mind that it can often take 3-10 business days for the funds to appear on your statement from the date that we process your return.
1.15. WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE MY RETURNS SHIPPING LABEL?
We totally understand that sometimes things get lost.
If you need a new returns label, you can get a copy of your label at any time through accessing your returns information via our returns portal here, or find it attached to your return confirmation email.
1.16. CAN I RETURN MY ITEMS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY?
Unfortunately, we can’t accept returns in another country from where you purchased the item, but it may be possible for you to exchange your items in one of our stores in another country.
If we are able to accept your exchange in another country, we will need to see a copy of your proof of purchase and exchanges will be at the value of the product in the country where you are doing the return.
1.17. I PAID FOR MY PRODUCT IN CASH – DO I GET MY REFUND IN CASH?
We have an obligation to try and prevent fraud – this means that we are only able to offer refunds to your original payment method.
While we accept a number of payment methods, including cash, we also have to be mindful of security, asset protection and our other legal obligations. This means that we reserve the right at our discretion to refuse to accept cash transaction where the value of the cash transaction exceeds:
· UK - £2000 (two thousand Great British Pounds);
· EU - €2000 (two thousand Euros);
· Other markets – the equivalent of €2000 (two thousand Euros) in local currency.
the “Cash Limits”.
We also have the right to restrict or refuse cash purchases over the Cash Limits. In some circumstances, you may be able to pay in cash above the Cash Limits however, this is entirely at our discretion, and you must have a Guest profile with us.
In some cases, we may not have sufficient levels of cash in our stores – we do this to maintain safety for our staff. If you are trying to obtain a refund in cash and we do not have sufficient levels to refund you, we may offer to refund you the balance on to a Gift Card or suggest you split your refund between different stores and/or locations.
