Effective immediately, shipping will be reduced to a flat fee of $5.95 for UPS ground shipping no matter the size of the purchase. Returns can now be made via a USPS mailbox or a UPS drop-off location. Returns will be accepted up to 21 days after merchandise was shipped to the customer.
In addition to the lowered shipping fee, Gilt has expanded its return policy to offer its customers the option of a credit card refund.

Gilt Groupe has also expanded the categories in which it will accept returns to include handbags, wallets, sunglasses, ties, belts, cufflinks, and jewelry, in addition to all sizable items.
"Creating a world-class customer service experience has always been of utmost importance to Gilt's success," said Kevin Ryan, Founder and CEO, Gilt Groupe.
