Refund Policy




At Five Below, we want you to love every trendy, affordable find—whether it’s a $1 toy, a $5 home decor piece, or an exclusive pick above $5. Our refund policy is designed to be fair, straightforward, and hassle-free, matching the joy of shopping with us. Below’s everything you need to know about returns, refunds, and exchanges.

1. Refund Eligibility

To qualify for a full refund, your Five Below items must meet these clear criteria:
  • Timeframe: Initiate the return within 60 days of delivery (tracked via your order’s delivery confirmation email).
  • Item Condition: Products must be unused, undamaged, and in their original state:
    • No signs of use, wear, or alteration (e.g., unwashed apparel, unopened toys, intact product tags).
    • All original packaging, accessories (e.g., straps, batteries, care guides), and labels are complete and unaltered.
    • No physical damage (scratches, stains, tears) from handling, misuse, or improper storage.
  • Proof of Purchase: A valid order number (found in confirmation emails) or receipt is required for all refund requests.
  • Customized Items: Only eligible for a refund if the customization contains an error from Five Below (e.g., incorrect print, wrong size engraving)—we cannot refund changes of mind for personalized products.

2. How to Start a Return (3 Simple Steps)

We’ve streamlined the process to get you a quick resolution:
  1. Request a Return Authorization (RA) Number: Email our team at service@fivebelowdeals.com with your order number, product name (e.g., “Trendy Tie-Dye Tank Top, Size L”), and reason for return. For defective items, attach 1-2 clear photos of the issue (e.g., broken zipper, faulty electronics) to speed up review.
  2. Get Approved: We’ll respond within 1-2 business days with your RA number and return instructions. If the issue is our mistake (e.g., wrong item shipped, manufacturing defect), we’ll provide a pre-paid shipping label—no cost to you. For change-of-mind returns, you cover return shipping (we never charge restocking fees).
  3. Ship It Back: Package the item securely (use original packaging if possible) to avoid damage in transit. Write your RA number clearly on the outside of the box, and send it to:

    Five Below Returns Department

    32034 Mattson Street

    Cookeville Tennessee 38501

    United States

    We recommend using a trackable shipping service—we aren’t liable for lost or damaged return shipments.

3. Refund Processing

  • Inspection: We review and inspect returned items within 3-5 business days of receipt to confirm eligibility and condition.
  • Refund Timeline: Approved refunds are issued within 5-10 days (faster for digital payment methods like PayPal or credit cards).
  • Refund Details:
    • Refunds are credited back to your original payment method (no mandatory store credit unless you request it).
    • All refunds are processed in United States Dollars (USD), matching your original purchase currency.
    • Partial Refunds: Offered only for multi-item orders where a single product is defective or incorrect—we’ll refund the individual item’s price.

4. Non-Refundable Items

Certain items cannot be refunded to maintain quality and safety standards for all customers:
  • Items returned without a valid RA number (we cannot track unlabeled packages).
  • Used, worn, or altered products (e.g., washed clothing, opened beauty items, played-with toys).
  • Items with missing accessories, damaged packaging, or altered serial numbers.
  • Customized products with customer-approved designs (e.g., personalized phone cases, engraved keychains).
  • Gift cards or store credit (non-refundable and non-transferable).
  • Products purchased from third-party retailers (return these directly to the seller).

5. Refund Denial Appeals

If your refund is denied and you disagree with the decision, you can appeal within 7 business days of the denial email:
  • Email service@fivebelowdeals.com with your RA number, a detailed explanation of your appeal, and any additional evidence (e.g., photos of unused packaging, proof of manufacturing defects).
  • Our team reviews appeals within 3 business days and provides a final decision—we prioritize transparency in our reasoning.

6. Our Refund Promise

Shopping with Five Below should be stress-free—here’s our commitment to you:
  • We’re upfront about eligibility (no hidden rules for our $1–$5 finds or exclusive picks).
  • We communicate every step (you’ll receive emails when we receive your return, complete inspection, and issue your refund).
  • We uphold quality: All eligible returned items are inspected to ensure they’re fully functional and ready for other shoppers to enjoy.
