The Children's Place gives you 45 days to return unworn items with the receipt and original price tags — and unlike many retailers, it enforces this deadline strictly, with no stated exceptions.
A Strict 45-Day Cutoff, No Exceptions
The Children's Place's own policy states there are no exceptions to the 45-day return window — once it passes, an item can't be returned. Both the receipt and the original price tags need to be attached, and the item must be unworn and unwashed; missing either one means the return will be refused.
