Return & Exchange Policies

When requesting an exchange, we cannot guarantee that the replacement item(s) you wish to receive will be available at the time your request is processed. We highly recommend that you simply return the item(s) you wish to exchange and place a new order for the replacement item(s) on lids.com™/hatworld.com™. By doing this, you will receive your new item(s) faster and with a much better chance that they will be in stock.

What is the Return Policy?  (Top)
Items that have received custom embroidery services require prior authorization in order to be returned. Please contact our Customer Care Department at 1-888-564-HATS (4287). These items may only be returned if they differ in hat style, color, size or embroidery than originally ordered.

If you are unsatisfied with your purchase and have your original receipt or packing slip, we will gladly issue a refund within 30 days of the purchase. Without a receipt or packing slip, you may receive an exchange or merchandise credit in the form of a gift card. Refunds for items returned after 30 days of original purchase date will be in the form of a gift card and will be returned at the current retail price. Items returned after 90 days of purchase will not be accepted. All items must be unworn, unwashed and in new condition to be eligible for a refund, merchandise credit or an exchange.

Clearance Items - All sales are final on clearance items. No refunds, merchandise credits or exchanges will be given by lids.com or by any of our retail stores.

Any discount received as part of a Buy One Get One Half Off promotion will be forfeited if the full price item is returned. Shipping and handling fees, including those to ship hats back to lids.com™ are non-refundable. On a case by case basis, we will issue a credit for reasonable and customary freight charges (up to $4.99) if the returned item is defective or incorrect. Please include a postal receipt in your return package.
