Brenna SwanstonShort Answer: Hy-Vee does not have a company-wide return policy. The grocery store chain instead offers individual store return policies that vary by location. That said, most Hy-Vee locations will require a receipt in order to make a return. Many stores also do not accept perishable items for return. To find out more about Hy-Vee’s return policies, see below.
Hy-Vee’s Return Policy
Hy-Vee grocery stores are independently owned and operated, so return policies vary by store. A corporate customer service representative confirmed that there is no company-wide return policy. However, most store locations do have some form of a general return policy. You’ll need to contact your local Hy-Vee for specifics on its return window time limits, product restrictions, and refund policy.
Generally, to return something to Hy-Vee, you’ll need to bring your receipt showing proof of purchase. Many Hy-Vee locations do not accept returns on perishable items. If you discover that your item is spoiled or expired right after bringing it home, the store may issue you a refund, offer a replacement product, or take other corrective action.Â
If your local store does not offer any corrective response, you can contact Hy-Vee corporate at [email protected] or (800) 772-4098 and they may be able to offer assistance.
