How it works

Frequently asked questions

General questions

Oops handles online, in-store, and gift returns to almost any retailer (including furniture and oversized items).

We'll pick up and return your items for you, whether that means shipping them to the original vendor or bringing them back to the store.

If you have an oversized item to return, just let us know when scheduling your pickup so we can plan accordingly.

We ask that your return items aren't hazardous or illegal, per our terms of service.

On the off chance we're unable to return your purchase, we'll get in touch and make it right.

If you have questions about what you can return, call, text, or email us and we'll help you out.

Yes! We'll return all the gifts you don't want to keep so you can get what you really wanted instead. Usually, the retailer will provide you with a gift card or store credit equal to the value of your gift return.

Just upload, text, or email us the gift receipt or proof of purchase, or just leave it out with your gift return pickup.

No gift receipt? No problem. We'll work with you and the original retailer to help you navigate post-holiday return policies so you can swap your gift for something you'll love.

Every return pickup is insured up to $1,000, so you can rest assured you'll always get your money back.

Return protection starts the moment you leave your items on your doorstep and covers accidental damage, theft, and the possibility of getting lost in transit.

If we're aware of an issue with your return, we'll contact you directly. If you have concerns about your return status, you can always get in touch.

If you're making a return, we'll need a return label, receipt, or QR code in order to process your pickup.

The good news? You don't have to print a thing. Just upload a screenshot or photo when scheduling your pickup.

You can also text or email us a copy of your return label or QR code, if you'd prefer.

Making an online return? You'll need to initiate the return with your retailer first. You can usually do this on the retailer's website or by contacting them directly. Be sure to check your return policy for details.

Questions? Contact us for help.

We'd love to take donations off your hands! We'll pick up clothes, furniture, toys, household goods, decor, and more.

Just select "Donation" when scheduling your pickup and be sure to let us know if your donation is oversized (won't fit in the back of a standard SUV).

We ask that all donations weigh 50 lbs. or less. If you have a donation that's bigger than this, contact us and we'll do our best to help you out!

We sure do! We return in-store purchases to almost any retailer, with the exception of Costco, which requires the member to be present. We hope to handle your in-store Costco returns soon!

If you're returning an in-store purchase, just attach your receipt to your return item(s) or take a upload a picture when scheduling your pickup.

We'll typically process your return within 3 business days of your pickup. The original retailer will then issue your refund (check your return policy for an ETA).

When initiating your Amazon return, you may be required to select a drop-off location, such as Whole Foods, Kohl's, UPS, or an Amazon return center.

While we can return to any location, UPS is best, so we recommend choosing a UPS drop-off when requesting your QR code from Amazon.

We'll make sure your return gets to the right place no matter what!

Still have questions? We'd be happy to walk you through it. Just give us a call at 801-890-2897.

We'll pick up all your extra cardboard too—we reuse and recycle them all! Just select "Cardboard boxes" when scheduling your pickup.

We ask that cardboard pickups are limited to 5 boxes total, one of which can be oversized (longer than 4 feet on any side).

If you have more boxes than this, or your boxes are larger, get in touch and we'll do our best to accomodate you!

No need to break down your boxes. Just be sure they're free of trash and packing materials.

When scheduling a return or donation pickup, you'll be asked for an item description. This information helps us identify and process your item(s).

The best details to provide here include:

  • Item type
  • Color
  • Size (if clothing)
  • Where it was purchased (if returning)

Here's an example of a great item description:

  • "Black size 6 leggings from Lululemon"

Here's an example of a not-so-good item description:

  • "Clothes from Lululemon"

If you're scheduling multiple items for pickup, be sure to include specific descriptions of each. This helps us identify how many items you're returning/donating and ensure each is accounted for when we pick up and process them.

Anything that won't fit in the back of an SUV is considered an oversized item.

We ask that you limit oversized items to one per pickup, keep them under 50 lbs., and make sure a single person can reasonably lift them.

If you have questions about a specific item or want us to take something that falls outside these parameters, contact us directly.

Nope! You can always schedule returns on a pay-as-you-go basis. You'll pay only $1 for your first pickup, then $8 for each pickup after that.

You can return or donate multiple items in a single pickup. These can be different purchases from different retailers (note that each purchase should have its own return label or receipt).

Oops currently picks up returns, donations, and cardboard boxes in the greater Salt Lake City and Phoenix metropolitan areas. We service Utah's Wasatch Front, including Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, and Summit County, as well as part of Maricopa County in Arizona.

We're growing quickly and excited to bring Oops to new regions soon!

Questions? Contact us for help.

Before we can complete your return pickup, you'll need to provide a return label, QR code, or receipt for your purchase.

You can usually find these by looking up your order status or logging into your account on the retailer's website.

If you lose your receipt or have trouble accessing your order history, contact your retailer directly. They should be able to help you out and provide replacements if needed.

Nope! The beauty of Oops is that you never need a box or printed label.

We'll bring you a reusable bag at the time of your first pickup, so you can put everything in there moving forward. If you don't have an Oops bag yet, just place all your pickup items together on your porch.

When leaving your items out, be sure to include all related parts and accessories. If an item has multiple parts (for instance, an electronic device that comes with a separate charger), clearly group or attach these so we know they should all go back together.

If you have specific questions about your pickup, get in touch and we'll help you out.

After we pick up your return, we'll bring it to our warehouse for processing before sending it back to the original retailer.

This is usually done within 3 business days, but inclement weather and other factors may occasionally result in a delay (if you need it done sooner, contact us directly).

You'll get an email after your return is processed and out of our hands. Once the original retailer receives it, they'll handle your refund.

You can always check the status of your return in your account dashboard.

You'll receive an email confirmation after scheduling your pickup with Oops. We'll also send you a reminder the night before.

On the day of your pickup, you'll get text message updates when your driver is on the way, along with a planned ETA and a link to track your driver.

You'll also be notified when your pickup is complete and when your return is dropped off to the original retailer. Returns are usually processed within 3 business days of your pickup.

Head to your account dashboard to view your pickup history or check status updates.

We'll typically process your return within 3 business days of your pickup.

Once the original retailer gets it back, they'll issue your refund (usually to your original payment method).

Occasionally, we'll be reimbursed directly for an in-store return. If this happens, we'll send you the full amount through Venmo or another payment method that works best.

Refund timelines vary by retailer and whether you're making an online or in-store return. Check your retailer's return policy for details.

Occasionally, a retailer will ask for the original payment method to be present at the time of a return. If this happens, we'll typically receive a gift card and will Venmo you the full amount of your refund.

Don't have Venmo? No worries—we'll always find a way to get you your money back. Our team will reach out directly to help coordinate your refund if needed.

Absolutely. If your return window is closing and you need to expedite return shipping or drop-off, just contact us after scheduling your pickup and we'll be sure to process your return right away.

Tip: It's always best to return your items sooner rather than later to allow for shipping time and return processing on the part of the original retailer.

This will depend on the retailer, so check your return policy for details. Some merchants offer store credit for purchases returned after the return window has closed. Others may not accept your return at all.

We'll always do our best to help you get your money back, but if we do end up with an unreturnable item, we'll contact you directly to let you know your options. This often includes bringing the item(s) back to you or donating them on your behalf.

Donations

We'd love to take donations off your hands! We'll pick up clothes, furniture, toys, household goods, decor, and more.

Just select "Donation" when scheduling your pickup and be sure to let us know if your donation is oversized (won't fit in the back of a standard SUV).

We ask that all donations weigh 50 lbs. or less. If you have a donation that's bigger than this, contact us and we'll do our best to help you out!

We accept all kinds of donated items, including (but not limited to):

  • Clothes
  • Toys
  • Games
  • Household goods
  • Home decor
  • Kitchen items
  • Blankets
  • Books
  • Jewelry
  • Seasonal decorations
  • Tools
  • Small appliances and electronics

There are a few exceptions, though. We can't take anything hazardous or illegal, medications or prescription drugs, food items (unless part of a designated food drive), cleaning products, flammable or toxic materials, large appliances, or broken/unusable items.

We'll bring your donated items to a variety of local charities, including Deseret Industries, Friends of Big Brothers Big Sisters Utah, the Other Side Academy, and other nonprofit organizations that give back to those in need.

We also host one-time donation drives (we collected more than 620 lbs. of food for Utah Food Bank over the holidays!). Community impact is important to us, so we're continuing to develop partnerships with local nonprofits that make a difference.

If your local donation center won't accept it, we won't be able to donate it on your behalf. Here are a few types of items we unfortunately can't accept:

  • Car seats
  • Tires
  • Batteries
  • Weapons and ammunition
  • Hazardous or illegal items
  • Medications and prescription drugs
  • Food items (unless part of a food drive)
  • Cleaning products and other chemicals
  • Flammable or toxic materials
  • Large appliances, such as stoves and refrigerators
  • Broken, damaged, or unusable items
  • Household trash

Not sure if your item can be donated? Get in touch and we can answer any specific questions!

Need a charitable donation receipt for a tax write-off? Contact us directly and we'll get you one!

Yes! As a rule, we ask that you keep your donations to a maximum of 50 lbs. per item and that each item can be reasonably lifted by one person.

If you have something larger to donate, such as a piece of furniture, get in touch with us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Anything that won't fit in the back of an SUV is considered an oversized item.

We ask that you limit oversized items to one per pickup, keep them under 50 lbs., and make sure a single person can reasonably lift them.

If you have questions about a specific item or want us to take something that falls outside these parameters, contact us directly.

While we support a number of local charities and can't guarantee that your donation will go to a specific place, we love expanding our network of nonprofit partners!

If you have a particular charity to recommend, please email us so we can evaluate a potential partnership if it seems like a great fit.

If you have a monthly or annual plan, all you need to pay is your membership fee. As an Oops member, you get unlimited pickups of all your returns, donations, and cardboard recycling.

You can also choose to pay per pickup, in which case, you'd pay $1 for your first pickup and $8 for each subsequent pickup. Our rates are the same for all pickup types, including donations.

You can always bundle your pickups, so if you have returns and donations at the same time, we'll come get everything at once!

Recycling

We'll pick up all your extra cardboard too—we reuse and recycle them all! Just select "Cardboard boxes" when scheduling your pickup.

We ask that cardboard pickups are limited to 5 boxes total, one of which can be oversized (longer than 4 feet on any side).

If you have more boxes than this, or your boxes are larger, get in touch and we'll do our best to accomodate you!

No need to break down your boxes. Just be sure they're free of trash and packing materials.

Most customers use us to pick up their online shopping boxes—for instance, if you splurge on week on Amazon and can't fit all the boxes in your recycling bin, Oops is your solution. We'll pick up all kinds of corrugated and non-corrugated cardboard. We reuse 98% of the boxes we collect for return shipping!

We ask that you limit cardboard to 5 boxes per pickup, one of which can be oversized (longer than 4 feet on any side).

We're here to help you offload online shopping boxes that won't fit in your recycling bin—sorry, we don't offer large-scale recycling services for businesses!

You don't need to break them down, although this is always helpful. Just be sure to remove all trash and packing materials.

Nope! While it's always helpful to have your boxes broken down, it's not necessary. Just be sure to remove any packing materials and trash before your pickup.
We reuse 98% of the cardboard boxes we pick up to ship back online returns for our customers. The other 2% are recycled, usually because they've seen some action and are ready to be retired.
Unfortunately, we don't offer bulk recycling for businesses at this time.

Packaging

Nope! The beauty of Oops is that you never need a box or printed label.

We'll bring you a reusable bag at the time of your first pickup, so you can put everything in there moving forward. If you don't have an Oops bag yet, just place all your pickup items together on your porch.

If you have specific questions about your pickup, get in touch and we'll help you out.

When we stop by to complete your first pickup, we'll bring you a blue reusable Oops bag. You can put all your returns in donations in there moving forward.

The bag is great for a couple reasons. It helps protect your items from inclement weather and keeps everything together so our drivers know exactly what to pick up.

That way, you'll never have to worry about returns and donations getting mixed up with deliveries or anything else on your porch (this doesn't happen often, but we want to bring you that extra peace of mind!).

When we come by for your pickup, we'll take your full bag and replace it with a new one that you can use for next time.

If you're making a return, we'll need a return label, receipt, or QR code in order to process your pickup.

The good news? You don't have to print a thing. Just upload a screenshot or photo when scheduling your pickup.

You can also text or email us a copy of your return label or QR code, if you'd prefer.

If you have questions about whether or not your item can be returned, it's a good idea to check your retailer's return policy.

While some retailers may accept damaged or incomplete items, many do not.

If there's bad weather on the day of your pickup, you can use your reusable Oops bag to protect your items from the elements.

Don't have an Oops bag yet? You will soon! We're working to distribute them to all of our customers (woohoo!).

In the meantime, you can put your items in a plastic bag or another weather-resistant container.

While every return is insured up to $1,000, we appreciate you helping us keep everything safe and dry—insurance is always best when you have it but don't need to use it!

Occassionally, heavy snow and dangerous driving conditions may make it difficult to complete your pickup on time. If we need to reschedule your pickup due to inclement weather, we'll reach out in advance to find another time that works.
