Steps
-
Create the return online
Sign in to your ASOS account, open the order, and start a return within 28 days of delivery. If your order came in several packages, the 28 days count from the last one.
-
Pack the items with tags and seals on
Keep tags attached and hygiene seals unbroken. Items sold by an ASOS Brand Partner go back to that brand directly, so check your order confirmation email first.
-
Print or save your return code
ASOS emails a QR code or a return label, depending on your location and the drop-off options near you.
-
Drop it at a carrier location
Take the parcel to the carrier location shown in your email. ASOS aims to refund within 14 days of receiving it.
What ASOS is known for
ASOS is a very large online-only fashion store. It sells its own labels, including ASOS DESIGN, ASOS Curve, ASOS Petite, ASOS Tall and ASOS LUXE, next to a long list of other brands such as Free People, Mango, Oh Polly, Princess Polly, Nike and adidas. That mix is the main reason people shop it: one cart can hold a going-out dress, sneakers and a coat from three different labels.
The look is trend-led. Expect occasion wear, going-out outfits, casual basics and streetwear, with edits that change by season. Dresses are a big draw, especially for weddings, parties, prom and homecoming, and the range also covers tops, two-piece sets, coats and jackets, jeans, sweaters and cardigans, skirts, swimwear, jumpsuits, shoes and accessories.
How ASOS sizing works
Because ASOS sells many brands, sizing follows each brand's own chart. Every product page has a Size Guide with a body-measurement chart and an international conversion chart covering US, UK and EU sizes. Open it before you add to cart, especially when you are mixing labels in one order.
ASOS gives a short checklist for finding your size: look at the model height and the size she is wearing under the photos, read the Product Details for fit (regular or oversized), skim customer reviews, and try the Fit Assistant, which is powered by Fit Analytics and works after you log in. For general measuring help, our guide to picking your size when shopping online walks through the basics.
Specialty sizing is built in: Curve and Plus, Petite, Tall and Maternity each have their own edit, so you can start from the range cut for your body.
Shipping to the US
As of October 2026, US Standard shipping is $10.00 and takes 5 to 8 business days, with up to 14 business days for Alaska and Hawaii. Express is $14.99 and takes 3 to 4 business days.
ASOS Premier costs $19.99 a year and needs an ASOS account. It gives free Standard shipping on orders over $20 and free Express shipping on orders over $50. If you order a few times a year, that is worth a quick look at checkout.
Some items ship from different warehouses, and items sold by an ASOS Brand Partner ship separately from the partner. That can mean two or three parcels from one order, so track each one on its own.
Returns and refunds
You have 28 days from delivery to return an item, and refunds go back to your original payment method. ASOS aims to refund within 14 days of receiving the parcel. The refund covers the item price.
Guest-checkout returns have a $4.95 fee taken from the refund, and some qualifying orders return free. Logging in before you check out also unlocks the student discount. ASOS Brand Partner items return free, directly to the brand.
Final sale and hygiene items are the exception. That covers items marked Final Sale, opened or used face and body products, underwear, swimwear and some jewelry once the hygiene seal or labels are broken, and worn or damaged items. Try things on the way you would in a store and keep the tags and seals intact.
Tips for shopping ASOS
A few habits make an ASOS order smoother.
- Log in before checkout so returns stay free of the guest fee and the student discount can apply.
- Check your order confirmation email for items sold by an ASOS Brand Partner, since they ship and return on their own.
- Open the Size Guide on every product page, even for a size you wear often, because brands differ.
- Read Product Details for fit notes such as regular or oversized before you pick a size.
- Try on at home within the first few days so the 28-day window never feels tight.
If you love the ASOS look
The ASOS look is trend-led and easy to dress up or down: a satin midi for a wedding, a matching set for a night out, a structured coat for the commute, and a pair of wide-leg jeans for everything else.
The PeachSunday team carries pieces in a similar spirit, with new styles added daily and free US shipping on orders of $65 or more. Start with dresses and two-piece sets, then add a layer from jackets and coats.
