Target returns: 90 days, 30 days, or a full year?

All three are correct. Which one applies to your item depends on who sold it and whose brand is on it — and that is not something a single return-policy number can express.

The three windows

90days from delivery — sold by Target

Item must be unopened and in new condition.

"returned within 90 days will receive a refund or exchange"

target.com — Returns & Exchanges · verified 2026-08-20

30days from delivery — sold through Target Plus

Unopened, new condition, and proof of purchase required. Target Plus is the third-party marketplace: the item ships from another seller.

"returned within 30 days will receive a refund"

365days — Target Owned Brand items

Receipt required. Applies to Target's own brands, such as Good & Gather or Threshold.

"can be returned for up to one year with a receipt"

And two ways the window disappears

Final sale — no return at all

"final sale items and cannot be returned"

target.com · verified 2026-08-20

Opened, damaged, or no receipt — may be refused

Target states these may be denied a refund or exchange, and that an item found ineligible on inspection may be charged back after a refund was already issued.

What this looks like in practice

You buy a blender on target.com. Can you return it in 60 days?

If Target sold it and it is unopened — yes, you are inside the 90-day window. If the same product page was fulfilled through Target Plus, you are 30 days past the deadline. The product page looks the same either way. The answer does not.
