What Zales says
Returns are allowed within 30 days from the purchase (shipment) date and exchanges within 60 days of the purchase (shipment) date for jewelry, and within 30 days from the purchase (shipping date for online orders) date for watches.

The 30 days applies to returns. Exchanges get 60 days for jewelry but 30 days for watches, and exchanges must be done in a Zales store (returns can be handled via Zales.com). A banner on the page says holiday purchases made 10/20/2026 to 12/24/2026 can be returned through 1/24/2027. Gift-receipt returns (gift card or exchange) are allowed within 30 days. Items must be in original condition with packaging and paperwork. Refunds go to the original payment method, and the page says online refunds are processed in about 5 business days. Free mail-back label is offered for online orders; the alternative pre-printed label is not prepaid. The page doesn't say whether in-store purchases are covered for returns and does not address price adjustments (there is a separate Price Match Policy link).

More than this page shows
Zales also publishes 6 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 Zales offers, and sometimes gives you more.
