Lane Bryant Payment, Shipping and More

When it comes to finding what you want and paying for it, Lane Bryant makes it extremely easy. Lane Bryant accepts all major credit cards, PayPal, Visa Checkout, the Lane Bryant card and the Catherines card.

Shipping and handling charges depend on where you'd like your purchase shipped to and how quickly you need it. Shipping fees are non-refundable. Standard shipping is free if shipped to a Lane Bryant store for you to pick up, and takes between 3-8 business days. In contrast, shipping costs $7.95 if you have your purchase shipped to your home.

The cost for 2nd Day Air is $6 if shipped to a store and $13.95 if shipped to your home. The cost for Next Business Day shipping is $13 if shipped to a store and $20.95 if shipped to your home.

Shipments sent to Puerto Rico, military addresses or other non-continental U.S. addresses should arrive within 7-10 business days. 

For the "Ship to Store" option, you'll receive a "ready for pickup" email when your order arrives at the store. If not picked up within 14 days of being delivered to the store, it will be returned to their warehouse.

If not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it for free at a physical Lane Bryant location or send it back via mail for a refund, minus a $5.95 shipping and handling charge. If you have your original receipt and return your purchase within 45 days (or 60 days if bought with the Lane Bryant credit card), you'll be refunded in full via the original payment method as long as the purchase wasn't listed as "final sale." 

After that time period, if you return an item with the original receipt, you'll receive a merchandise credit for the lowest selling price. The same applies if you return something without the original receipt, no matter when.
