How are bag fees handled at DSW?

In some metros, laws require a fee for any bags used at checkout. If shoppers are in one of these metros, they will be prompted to enter a bag fee. After processing the order, go ahead and take a photo of the receipt and upload it to the app. 

Bag fees are generally found on the store receipt. If you cannot locate them, ask your cashier for the total amount that was charged. Enter that total and continue processing the order. If you did not need to purchase bags for the order, simply put the fee total as $0 and finish processing the order. 



 



Can items be returned?

Yes, all items can be returned to the store where they were originally purchased.
Note: DSW has the right to accept or refuse returns for any items.

To complete a return for a DSW order:

    •    Present the original receipt and your Shipt card at Customer Support.

    •    Write the order number on the receipt and take a picture of it after the store attendant has completed the return.

    •    Email the picture to support@shipt.com.
