DALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>For military shoppers who need to make a return but are hesitant to visit a store during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is extending its return policy. All purchases made since March 16, 2020, are eligible for returns through July 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile extensive preventive measures have been implemented at our stores to keep the military community safe, we understand that some shoppers may not feel comfortable going to a public place at this time,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange senior enlisted advisor. \u201cExtending the return window gives military shoppers peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

The extended return policy applies only to items purchased in brick-and-mortar Exchanges. Since items ordered online can be mailed back, there is no extended return policy for online orders.<\/p>\n
