Without a valid original receipt

Please note that we are changing our courtesy exchange policy at Express. Effective as of June 14, 2013, where a valid receipt is not provided or the transaction cannot be verified via a customer credit card or phone number, Express will only allow the exchange of a single piece of merchandise. All other terms that apply to courtesy exchanges remain the same.

We will conduct a courtesy search of our database to locate your original purchase utilizing the credit card information associated with the original transaction or your telephone number. If the information cannot be located we will not be able to process a return.

If we conduct a courtesy search and cannot locate your original purchase, you may make an exchange for merchandise equal to or greater in value. The item you are exchanging will be valued at the current selling price to determine the exchange value. If the exchange is for greater value, you will need to pay the difference. We will not issue a merchandise credit and we will not exchange merchandise for items of lesser value.
