Free shipping and returns: what 58 home goods and decor stores offer

• We read each store's homepage and its shipping and returns pages once, in November 2026, and recorded what it offers for standard shipping to the United States.
• Offers only for members, subscribers, first orders, discount codes or a limited-time sale don't count as a store's free-shipping minimum.
• Every figure comes with the store's own wording, and anything we couldn't match to it was left out.
• Stores that block automated visits, or whose pages only work in a full browser, were skipped rather than worked around.
• The stores are established direct-to-consumer brands, so the figures describe them rather than very small or brand-new shops.

How unclear cases were handled

• One page, several countries: glossier.com lists its free-shipping minimum for about fifteen countries. Only the US one ($40+) was counted.
• Offers for some shoppers only: free shipping for members, subscribers, first orders or with a code isn't counted as the store's minimum.
• Amounts written differently: "25 USD", "$25.00" and "$2,000" are all read as amounts, and a window given in months is converted to days.
• Returns: a window for refunds counts; one for exchanges only doesn't. Returns count as free only when the page says so: a "prepaid label" alone isn't enough, since its cost can come out of the refund.
• Food and drink returns are left out: food usually can't be returned, and the windows these stores state are for equipment.
• A figure we couldn't match to the store's own wording was left out rather than guessed. That's why some stores show "Not clear" or "Not stated".

"Not clear" and "Not stated" mean the store's pages didn't say it plainly enough to count. Stores change their terms: each figure is as the store's page showed it when we checked.
