Extended Holiday Return Policy

American Girl® is dedicated to helping you make this season unforgettable. We want to make sure that your holiday online shopping experience is as joyful and convenient as possible, so we’ve extended our return policy through the holiday season.

Our limited-time holiday return policy applies to purchases from September 3, 2024 through December 31, 2024. To get a full refund, initiate a return for the item(s) within 90 days of delivery or by January 31, 2025 (whichever date is later).

All other stipulations of our Standard Return Policy including non-returnable items, products designated “final sale”, etc. apply.
