Satisfaction Guaranteed Return Policy

Due to COVID-19, there may be delays in processing webstore returns. Please allow up to 30 days for processing until further notice.

We want you to be satisfied with your purchases. Our “Satisfaction Guaranteed” return policy means we will either issue a refund or make an equitable price adjustment when merchandise doesn’t live up to your expectations. (See guidelines below) Your NEX understands the importance of hassle-free returns and pledges to make the process as smooth as possible. Please remember to save your receipt, cartons, packing materials and any enclosed manuals.

Guidelines

Merchandise purchased at a NEX or from myNavyExchange.com can be returned to any NEX store within 45 days of purchase for a refund or even exchange. Diamond jewelry returns may be subject to an IGI appraisal prior to issuing a refund. Exceptions to the 45 day NEX Customer Return Policy are altered or tailored uniforms, WGACA/Luxury Vintage merchandise, Luxury Shoe Brands (Golden Goose, Alexander McQueen and MCM designer shoes) and Luxe Gallery handbags, Rolex merchandise, pre-paid cards, music, phone and gift cards, which are not returnable. Pre-recorded movies, music, video games, and computer software are returnable in original unopened factory sealed packaging within 45 days. If defective, they may be exchanged for an identical item. The refund will be processed in the same payment form as the original purchase. A return without a receipt will be issued on an NEX Gift Card at the item’s current NEX price. Refunds made without a receipt can only be made at the NEX’s Customer Service desk.

Diamond jewelry with a Retail value under $2,000 is subject to testing/inspection by an authorized NEX Jewelry Associate/Supervisor prior to issuing a refund. Diamond jewelry with a Retail value of $2,000 or greater will require an International Gemological Institute (IGI) appraisal prior to issuing a refund.

Returns without a receipt and that cannot be determined from the customer’s purchase history are defined as a ‘Blind Return’ ($250 maximum purchase) and will be refunded at the item’s lowest permanent or clearance price during the last 90 days and will be issued on a NEX Gift Card.

NEX is not responsible for lost or misdirected mail. Credit will only be issued for items physically received. Items not purchased from the NEX will be returned to sender. We strongly recommend you insure any mailed returns if the value is over $100.

AppleCare/AppleCare+ Protection Plans are returnable within 60 days of purchase. Requests for returns of these protection plans after 60 days will be referred to Apple for a pro-rated refund for the days remaining on the plan.

Pick/Up Program

What is the Pick/Up program?

The Buy Online, Pick Up in Person program, which we call Pick/Up, is a convenient way to order the items you wish to purchase online at mynavyexchange.com but rather than have them shipped to your home, are available for Pick/Up at your preferred NEX store. Orders placed up to 3 hours prior to store closing will be filled same day.

How does Pick/Up work?

Simply go to myNavyExchange.com, select store Pick/Up and place your order. You will receive an email confirmation acknowledging receipt of your order. A second email will be sent when your order is ready for Pick/Up. Once you arrive at the store, follow the bright yellow & blue signs to the Pick/Up location. Pick/Up locations will vary by location (may not be at the Customer Service area).

Is every item available for Pick/Up?

At this time, only a select number of items are available for Pick/Up. The plan is to add additional products as the program grows in participation.

What if an item is not available?

At time of checkout, the system will check the current availability of all items in your cart. If an item has sold out at your selected store you can a) select another store as a Pick/Up location or b) Change your delivery method to have the items delivered to your home or ship to store for pick up at a later day (typically within 5-7 business days for most locations).

Can I change my store after the order has been placed?

You would need to contact the original store and ask to have the order canceled. To expedite the request, please have your order number available. You would then need to reorder the items selecting the store you wish to use for Pick/Up.

How will I know when my Pick/Up order is ready?

You will receive an email when your order is ready for Pick/Up.

What do I need to bring with me to Pick/Up my order?

You will need your CAC card or dependent card when picking up your order. To facilitate Pick/Up, please have your order confirmation email available for reference.

Where do I go to collect my Pick/Up order?

While most stores will utilize the Customer Service area for Pick/Up, we recommend checking the Find a Store page for your store (located on www.mynavyexchange.com at the top of the page to the left of the image of the cart). This will indicate where your Pick/Up order will be located as well as store hours and directions.

When will I be charged for my order?

You will be charged for your order at time of Pick/Up.

Please note: At the time your order is placed, an authorization is placed against your available credit for the amount of the purchase. While you are not charged, these funds are reserved for this purchase.

How do I cancel an order?

There are several ways to cancel an order. You may call the Customer Service team at the store where you would have picked up your order or, if you are visiting the Store, stop by the Customer Service area and advise an associate that you wish to cancel your Pick/Up order. Please have your order number available to facilitate the process. It can be found on your “Ready for pickup” email.

How do I Return an item purchased through the Pick/Up program?

Simply bring the item or items back to your NEX store’s Customer Service area. Please have your order number available for quicker service. If you are unable to access an NEX store, please contact our Customer Care Center team for directions how to package and return your items by calling 877.810.9030. They are open and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week (except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day).

How will I be refunded if I return an item?

Refunds will be credited against your original form of payment. Should the original form of payment no longer be available, store will issue an NEX gift card for the value of the return.

Should you ship your return to our Returns Center, an associate will contact you for the full credit card information, as that information is not stored in our system.

Substitution Policy

We try to have every advertised item in stock. If out-of-stocks occur, we offer a substitute item at a comparable savings for in-store purchases only. This excludes limited quantity and special-purchase items. If you do not want the substituted item and the original sale item is still available from the manufacturer, we will place a special order for you at the sale price without a special order fee.

Conus NEXs, including Pearl Harbor, do not accept manufacturer’s or NEX coupon that has expired. Overseas NEXs, including Guantanamo Bay, can accept expired cents-off manufacturer’s coupons for up to six months past the coupon expiration date. This will allow patrons in overseas locations to utilize short dated and expired coupons that are often forwarded by support groups in the U.S.
The NEX accepts all NEX generated percent and cents-off coupons. This includes NEX coupons distributed in-store for select products, multi-discount scratch-off cards, NMCRS Benefit Tickets, NEX Facebook coupons, SMS text promotions, and other promotional NEX coupons.
