We look forward to helping with your return, but things are taking a bit longer these days. In order to keep our Orvis Family safe, and meet your needs, we have implemented new safety procedures in our warehouse and contact center. We are still accepting returns, but please expect delays of 2-3 weeks due to staffing and safety requirements. We will notify you via email as soon as your return has been processed and when you can expect your refund to be issued. If you have not yet received your refund, please allow us time to finish processing that for you and we will update you as soon as your refund has been issued. Thank you for your patience.
Welcome to the Orvis Answer Center! You'll find answers to our most frequently asked questions here.
Shopping & Billing
- Why isn’t my Promo code applying to my order? Not all items may be eligible for discount with your promotional code; eligibility varies by style and brand and is subject to change at any time. Certain brands have elected not to participate in promotional offers; these include, but are not limited to: Barbour, YETI, Dubarry of Ireland, Leatherman, and Brackish. Promotional offers do expire and cannot be used towards prior purchases.
- Are prices the same in store as in the catalog and online? Retail pricing on items remain consistent across Orvis Retail Stores, Catalog and Website. On occasion, however, Orvis retail stores, website, and catalog may each have their own sale pricing based on inventory availability.
- Item’s price was reduced after I purchased it. If the price of an item is reduced within 14 days of purchase, you (upon request and with original receipt or a reference through our Order Management System) may be issued a one-time price adjustment for the difference in the form of an Orvis Gift Card. Items within the online Tent Sale do not qualify for price adjustments.
- What if I made a purchase at an Independent Dealer? Orvis is partnered with more than 400 dealers nationwide, who each manage their own pricing and sale efforts. Price change/adjustment requests for purchases originating at a dealership are not honored by Orvis directly. Please contact the dealer for returns or price adjustments.
- Why does Orvis charge Sales Tax on my order? Orvis is registered to do business and required to collect and pay sales tax on merchandise, and shipping and handling in all states that currently charge a sales tax. We do not charge sales tax on orders shipped to Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. We charge tax on merchandise only in Idaho, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. Every state has its own laws and regulations regarding online commerce and taxation, and Orvis must collect all required taxes accordingly.
- Can I add to the balance of a Gift Card? No, Gift cards are issued for the original purchase amount. Additional balance amounts cannot be added to the card, but if you want a Gift Card for an additional amount, you’re welcome to order a new Gift Card.
- How can I replace a lost or stolen Gift Card? Unfortunately, we’re unable to replace lost or stolen Gift Cards, and this is noted on each Gift Card. Please feel free to contact Orvis Customer Service and we’ll be happy to review the situation with you to see how we can help.
- Help! I deleted my Email Gift Card! Please contact our friendly Customer Service team by Chat, Email or phone with the recipient’s email address and we’ll be glad to try to help you!
- Are there purchase limits on Gift Cards? Yes. The maximum value that can be purchased on a gift card or email gift card is $2,000. Additionally, you may only purchase up to $10,000 of gift cards in total within a 24-hour period.
- Can I redeem my Gift Card for Cash? Orvis does not refund gift cards for cash except where states require cash redemption for small amounts. The following table shows the only states with exceptions and rules that allow for gift card refunds.
