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.
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.
We’ve streamlined the process to get you a quick resolution:
-
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.
-
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).
-
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

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