Dooney & Bourke Return Policy

Dooney & Bourke currently provides a 30-day return window for eligible merchandise.

Products must be returned in new and unused condition.

For domestic orders, Dooney & Bourke currently offers a flat-rate return service costing:

$10 plus applicable taxes

The return-shipping amount is deducted from the refund when the company’s online return process is used.

Original shipping and handling charges are not refundable.

Before returning merchandise:

  1. Locate the order number and email address used for the purchase.
  2. Start the return through Dooney.com’s current Returns page.
  3. Keep the merchandise unused and in appropriate condition.
  4. Follow the generated return instructions.
  5. Save the carrier tracking information.
  6. Keep the tracking number until the refund is complete.

How Long Does a Dooney & Bourke Refund Take?

Dooney & Bourke currently states that return processing usually takes approximately 5-10 business days after the returned package is received.

Processing can take longer during high-volume periods.

After Dooney & Bourke processes the refund, the customer’s bank or financial institution controls how quickly the credit appears.

If a return appears delayed:

  • Check the carrier tracking.
  • Confirm the date Dooney & Bourke received it.
  • Allow the stated processing period.
  • Check the original payment account.
  • Contact Customer Service with the order and return information if the refund still does not appear.

International Dooney & Bourke Returns

Dooney & Bourke currently accepts qualifying international returns when unused merchandise is returned within 90 days after it is received.

International orders are processed using Global-e.

Dooney & Bourke directs international customers needing a return to contact the company for a return label and instructions.

The refund is generally credited through Global-e in the same currency and using the same exchange rate as the original purchase.

Original shipping and handling charges are not refundable.

The Dooney Guarantee

Dooney & Bourke currently provides what it calls the Dooney Guarantee.

The company states that its leather goods have an unconditional guarantee against defects in craftsmanship for one full year of normal use.

Customers should register qualifying merchandise after purchase to receive coverage under the current guarantee policy.

A craftsmanship defect is different from ordinary wear, accidental damage, staining, improper cleaning, or another problem that develops through use.

If a relatively new Dooney & Bourke product appears to have a construction defect:

  1. Keep the receipt or order confirmation.
  2. Register the product when required.
  3. Photograph the problem.
  4. Contact Dooney & Bourke or submit a Repair Request.
  5. Wait for instructions before shipping the product.

Dooney & Bourke Repair Program

Dooney & Bourke provides repair and replacement assistance in addition to its one-year craftsmanship guarantee.

Customers can begin by completing the official Repair Request form.

Dooney & Bourke currently asks customers to provide:

  • Product information
  • Photographs showing the item
  • Photographs showing the defect or damage
  • An explanation of the problem

After reviewing the request, the repair team provides the next steps by email.

Dooney & Bourke currently asks customers to allow approximately four to six weeks for a requested repair.

For merchandise purchased more than 30 days ago, customers can also contact service@dooney.com or call 1-800-347-5000 to ask about repair and replacement options.

Do not mail a handbag to Dooney & Bourke until the company provides current repair or shipping instructions.

Dooney & Bourke Product Registration

Customers can register qualifying Dooney & Bourke merchandise through the official Register My Dooney process.

Registration is particularly important because Dooney & Bourke states that products should be registered to receive coverage under its Dooney Guarantee.

Keep the original purchase documentation even after registering the product.

Registration does not necessarily mean that accidental damage, ordinary wear, stains, or every future repair will be covered without charge.

How to Identify Authentic Dooney & Bourke Products

Dooney & Bourke warns that counterfeit merchandise is sold through unauthorized sellers and websites.

The company currently recommends purchasing authentic merchandise through:

  • Dooney.com
  • ILoveDooney.com
  • Dooney & Bourke stores
  • Authorized department stores and resellers

Dooney & Bourke warns consumers to be cautious when an unknown website, online marketplace seller, or social-media advertisement offers merchandise at a price that appears unrealistically low.

When buying from a third-party seller, preserve:

  • The product listing
  • Seller information
  • Receipt
  • Payment record
  • Product photographs
  • Packaging and tags

Use the official Dooney & Bourke Counterfeit Products page when you suspect merchandise or a seller may not be authentic.

Suspected counterfeit products, websites, and sellers can also be reported to Dooney & Bourke at 1-800-347-5000 or through its official contact form.

Dooney & Bourke Order Status and Payment Help

Customers with a Dooney.com account can check an order through Order History.

Guest customers can track an order using the order number and email address.

Current accepted online payment methods include:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Discover
  • Diner’s Club
  • JCB
  • Dooney & Bourke Gift Cards
  • Afterpay
  • Klarna

When an order is initially placed, Dooney & Bourke can authorize the total amount, creating a temporary hold on the payment card.

The company states that the card is charged when the order ships.

If an order ships in multiple packages, charges can also appear separately.

Dooney & Bourke Gift Card Refunds

When merchandise purchased with a Dooney & Bourke gift card is returned, Dooney & Bourke states that the applicable funds are returned to the gift card used for the purchase.

Prepaid credit cards are treated as credit cards rather than Dooney & Bourke gift cards.

Keep a gift card until every return and refund connected to its purchases has been completed.

Never post the complete gift-card number or related information in a public review.

Dooney & Bourke Shipping

Dooney & Bourke offers multiple U.S. shipping levels, including economy, standard, premium, and express service.

The company currently advises customers to allow approximately 24-72 hours for order processing before the shipping transit estimate begins.

Processing can take approximately four to five days during certain busy periods.

Delivery time can also be affected by:

  • Order volume
  • Weather
  • Shipping destination
  • Carrier delays
  • Chosen shipping method

International orders are handled through Global-e and can have different shipping times, customs duties, taxes, and return procedures.

Dooney & Bourke Leather Care

Dooney & Bourke uses several different types of leather, coated fabrics, canvas, nylon, suede, and other materials.

Do not assume that a cleaner or conditioner appropriate for one collection is safe for another.

For example, some Dooney & Bourke leather collections require only gentle cleaning with a soft cloth, while particular materials should not receive creams, polishes, or conditioning products.

Use the care instructions associated with the exact product or collection.

Before cleaning an expensive handbag:

  • Identify the collection and material.
  • Read Dooney & Bourke’s current care guidance.
  • Avoid household cleaners and harsh solvents.
  • Do not saturate leather with water.
  • Test only an approved method when appropriate.

If the item may have a craftsmanship defect rather than ordinary dirt or wear, contact Customer Service before attempting a treatment that could alter the product.

Dooney and Bourke Disappointing Repair Issue

February 19, 2016

Dooney and Bourke, E-mails have gone unanswered and impossible to get a phone rep to talk with. Really disappointed. I only need one riveted repaired. Without that one rivet, the purse is useless.

Dooney and Bourke Not Buying Again

February 11, 2016

Dooney and Bourke, The worst service I have ever gotten from a company. Not sure how they stay in business. I deal with manufacturer and business every day and have never run across such messed up customer service. Will never order a Dooney and Bourke again. Pretty sad for such a big business.

Dooney and Bourke Disappointing Issue

June 2, 2015

Dooney and Bourke, I have bought a Disney Dooney and Bourke handbag from a 100% seeker on Ebay and I am really disappointed because the gold rivet has already come off and it’s been used Once. I have contacted Dooney and Bourke 5 times and they have ignored all my emails so far. I will not let this matter drop. I am so disappointed with the quality of the bag.
