How long does Sunglass Hut take to refund?

Once the warehouse receives your return it takes **2–3 business days to process**, and refunds normally appear on your card within **5–15 business days** depending on your bank. In-store returns are usually faster — the associate processes it at the register and you'll get a confirmation email. If you paid by gift card, a replacement e-gift card is emailed to the address on the order.

Can I return Sunglass Hut to Macy's?

Only if you bought them at a Sunglass Hut counter **inside** a Macy's store — those purchases follow Macy's return policy, not Sunglass Hut's, and Macy's may charge a **$9.99 mail-in return fee** for non–Star Rewards members. Standalone-store or sunglasshut.com purchases cannot be returned at Macy's; they must go to a standalone Sunglass Hut location or back to the warehouse via UPS.

Can I return Sunglass Hut without a receipt?

You can bring the item to a Sunglass Hut store in original packaging without a receipt, but you will **not receive a cash/card refund** — only an exchange or store credit at the current selling price. For online orders the team can look up the receipt via the email address or credit card used at checkout, so reach out to customer service before assuming the item is non-returnable.

Does Sunglass Hut refund shipping?

No. **Original shipping fees and non-refundable taxes are excluded** from the refund — only the product cost is returned to your payment method. Return shipping itself is free if you use the prepaid UPS label from their online returns portal. In Colorado, the state retail-delivery fee is also non-refundable by law.

What if my Sunglass Hut order never arrived?

For orders marked 'delivered' by the courier but not actually received, you have **15 days from the delivery date** to raise a claim. Contact customer service at 1-800-786-4527 (US) or customer.care@uk.sunglasshut.com (UK) with your order number. Miss the 15-day window and the claim is far harder to win — escalate via your card issuer's chargeback process if Sunglass Hut refuses.

Can I exchange Sunglass Hut online?

Not by mail. **Sunglass Hut does not offer mail-in exchanges for online orders** — you have to return the item for a refund and place a new order separately. Exchanges are only processed in standalone Sunglass Hut stores (not department-store counters or airport stores), and the new item must be of equal or greater value, with you paying any difference.

What is the Sunglass Hut Oops Coverage?

If you damage your sunglasses within **12 months of purchase**, bring the damaged pair and proof of purchase to a standalone Sunglass Hut store and you can buy an identical (or equivalent value) replacement at **50% off**. You must surrender the broken pair. Note this is a discount, not a refund — for genuinely defective products, the separate 24-month Assured Quality promise gives you a free replacement.

What if Sunglass Hut ignores my refund request?

Escalate in writing to customer.care@uk.sunglasshut.com (UK) or onlinesupport@sghcares.com (US) with your order number, return tracking, and a clear deadline (e.g. 14 days). If you paid by credit card, open a **chargeback** — UK buyers can use Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act for orders over £100, and US buyers can dispute under the Fair Credit Billing Act. EU buyers have a separate 14-day distance-selling right of withdrawal.

Hi Sunglass Hut team,

I'm writing to request a refund for my recent Sunglass Hut subscription charge.

Under applicable consumer-protection law (the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or US state auto-renewal laws — whichever applies in my jurisdiction), I'm exercising my right to cancel and to recover the payment in full. Please confirm by reply that the cancellation has taken effect and that the refund will be processed to my original payment method.

If your policy allows a pro-rata refund for any unused service, I'd appreciate that being applied here.

Best,
[your name]

Wait 7-14 days, then escalate
If you haven’t heard back in 14 days, see “If they refuse” below — Section 75 is the next stop.
