The North Face customer service can help with online orders, shipping, returns, refunds, warranty claims, repairs, product defects, XPLR Pass accounts, discounts, store purchases and product-safety questions. The North Face is owned by VF Corporation, but most consumer problems should begin with The North Face customer care or warranty team.

The North Face Returns and Refunds
The North Face currently accepts eligible returns within 30 days of purchase. Items must be unused, unwashed and unaltered. Online customers can start a return by signing in or using the order-status page with the order information.
The North Face does not currently offer direct online exchanges. An online order may be exchanged at a The North Face store or outlet, subject to the store’s requirements and available inventory.
Online purchases paid through PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay or Google Pay are not eligible for in-store returns. Use the online return process for those orders. A refund generally returns to the original payment method. When a gift card or reward was used, the applicable amount may be issued by email as a gift card.
Keep the return tracking number until the refund is complete. The refund is initiated after the distribution center receives and reviews the package, but the customer’s bank or card issuer may require additional time to post the credit.
The North Face Warranty and Repairs
Most The North Face-branded products are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The “lifetime” refers to the practical and reasonably expected life of the product, not the purchaser’s lifetime.
Footwear and products from The North Face Renewed series generally have a one-year warranty for manufacturing defects. Warranty coverage is normally limited to the original owner, and proof of purchase may be requested.
Warranty coverage generally does not include:
- Normal wear and tear
- Fading or material breakdown from extended use
- Rips, tears, burns, holes, stains or accidental damage
- Improper washing, storage or product care
- Negligence, misuse or excessive use
- Unauthorized repairs or alterations
- Products purchased from an unauthorized seller
Submit clear photos with the online warranty claim. The warranty team generally reviews a claim before asking the customer to ship the product. Do not mail an item or dispose of damaged gear until instructions are provided.
The initial claim review may take several business days. An approved claim may result in a repair, replacement or gift card, depending on the item and available options. Repairs commonly require several weeks and can take longer during peak periods.
Broken Zippers, Buckles and Product-Care Questions
A broken or defective zipper may qualify for warranty review. Submit a claim with photos showing the complete product, damaged area and product label.
For a broken or missing buckle, contact
US_Warranty@thenorthface.com with the purchaser’s name, mailing address, product photo, buckle description and a close-up image when available.
Follow the care label attached to the product. Incorrect washing, drying, storage or cleaning can damage waterproof coatings, insulation, fabric, seams and other components and may affect warranty eligibility.
Purchases From Dick’s, REI or Another Retailer
If the product was purchased from Dick’s Sporting Goods, REI, another sporting-goods store, a department store or an online marketplace, the seller normally controls the initial return, exchange and refund process.
The North Face warranty may still apply to an eligible manufacturing defect, but the company may request proof that the product was purchased from The North Face or an authorized retailer. Marketplace or secondhand purchases from unauthorized sellers may not qualify.
Keep the receipt, seller name, order confirmation and product listing. For a suspected counterfeit product, contact the retailer or marketplace and payment provider before sending the item or additional money to an unknown third party.
XPLR Pass Account and Rewards Help
Contact customer service for help with XPLR Pass login problems, missing points, rewards, account information or suspected unauthorized account activity. Points and rewards may take time to appear, and returned purchases can result in point adjustments.
If you suspect unauthorized access, change the account password and secure the connected email account. Do not give anyone a one-time verification code or password over the phone, by text or in a public comment.
Product Safety and Recall Help
Check the official product-recall page when a product presents a possible fall, fire, choking, injury or other safety hazard. Compare the exact style number, size, color, model and purchase period with the recall notice.
If the product matches a recall, stop using it as directed and follow the official remedy instructions. Do not attempt to repair safety equipment or continue using recalled apparel, footwear or gear when the recall advises consumers to stop.
