Dollar General return policy
Unused items bought online and shipped to you can be returned within 30 days of purchase, but food and hazmat items are not accepted. You pay the return postage, and refunds go back to your original payment method or onto a Dollar General gift card, with shipping charges not refunded.

This page is a messy capture mixing shipping, delivery and site text, and it covers online orders only. The 30-day window is in the shipping section. Items shipped to you cannot be returned in store, and the page does not say what applies to in-store purchases. Refunds cover the item price plus any sales tax; shipping charges are non-refundable. Orders through DG Delivery (same-day delivery) are handled differently: a self-service refund on the order details page or via Customer Care, with unspecified "restrictions and limitations" and no number of days given. Delivery fees are not adjusted for refunds or returns. The page refers readers to the Help Center for the complete Return Policy, which is not shown here.
Last checked 2026-11-11. Policies change, so check with Dollar General before relying on it.
More than this page shows
Dollar General also publishes 3 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.

No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever Dollar General offers, and sometimes gives you more.

Pricemend reads your receipt, works out your last day to act, and tells you when a price drops.
