Multinational sportswear retailer

Lululemon Athletica Inc. ( ; all lowercase[1]) is a US-Canadian[2] athletic apparel retailer with headquarters in British Columbia and registered office in Delaware. Established in 1998 as a retailer of yoga pants and other yoga apparel, it has expanded to sell sportswear, lifestyle apparel, accessories and personal care products. The company has 574 stores internationally and also sells online.

history [edit]

The Lululemon Athletica Store on Fifth Avenue, New York City

Founded in 1998 by Chip Wilson in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Lululemon opened its first standalone store in November 2000.[3][4] Wilson designed the name to include a lot of Ls to make it sound western to Japanese buyers who often have trouble pronouncing the letter. He later commented that he “found it funny to watch [Japanese speakers] try to say it”.[5]

The company’s IPO took place in July 2007 and raised $327.6 million through the sale of 18.2 million shares.[6][7] Christine Day, a former co-president of Starbucks, became chief executive officer in 2008.[6]

In 2013, the company was named to Fortune’s list of Fastest Growing Companies for the third year in a row.[6] In December 2013, founder Chip Wilson announced his resignation as chairman and that TOMS Shoes President Laurent Potdevin would become CEO.

In 2014, Lululemon opened its first store in Europe, a flagship store in Covent Garden, London.[8] In February 2015, Wilson announced that he was stepping down from the board[9][10] and that Michael Casey, former executive director of the board, would replace him.[11] In 2018, Laurent Potdevin resigned as CEO and from the company’s board of directors due to misconduct.[12][13]

In 2019, Lululemon announced an investment in Mirror, a fitness startup that sells an interactive mirror with a camera and speakers for at-home workouts. The companies planned to create new content for the device, starting with meditation classes.[14] In June 2020, Lululemon announced a $500 million deal to buy Mirror, capitalizing on the growing trend of people doing virtual workouts at home instead of going to the gym due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]

Administration [edit]

From its inception through 2015, Lululemon has incorporated elements of the Landmark Forum into its leadership and development training.[16] According to a company source, seventy percent of managers are hired internally.[17] Store managers are responsible for their store’s layout, color coordination, and community involvement.[17]

Products [ edit ]

Lululemon sells athletic apparel like tops, yoga pants, shorts, sweaters, jackets, and underwear[4] as well as hair accessories, bags, yoga mats, water bottles, and personal care products like deodorant and dry shampoo.[18] Lululemon trademarked its original fabric Luon, which contained a higher than average amount of nylon microfiber, in 2005.[4] Since then, the company has made different types of fabrics, including compression and moisture-wicking designs.[4] Lululemon is best known for its leggings, which first popularized the brand.

Lululemon maintains a research and development laboratory called “Whitespace” at its headquarters. It has around 50 employees, including scientists and physiologists.[4][19]

In 2019, the company launched a luxury streetwear brand called Lab in some of its stores.[20] The company planned to double its men’s business beyond women’s and accessories over the next five years and compete against other athletic apparel brands such as Nike and Under Armor.[21]

marketing [edit]

Originally known for women’s yoga apparel, by 2019 Lululemon had grown by attracting more male customers, adjusting its product and marketing strategies accordingly, and planning to increase brand awareness among men.[22] It has been stated that the company uses “holistic guerrilla marketing” to make customers feel like they are part of a larger community by wearing Lululemon clothing.[23] Lululemon uses social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as one of its main methods of marketing the company and its products. Lululemon also has its “Sweat Collective,” which allows fitness trainers to get 25 percent off their order.[24]

Lululemon has a wide network of stores around the world with 270 (as of 2018). Also, it sells all its products online to offer customers a better shopping experience. In terms of product development, Lululemon is also trying to develop new fabrics to provide customers with a more comfortable using experience, such as: B. the Nulu fabric. Lululemon also increased its liquidity through 2018, making it easier to raise capital and take advantage of market growth opportunities.[25]

controversy[edit]

False advertising[edit]

In November 2007, The New York Times reported that Lululemon was making false claims about its Vitasea apparel product; The company had claimed that the clothing made from seaweed offered “anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, moisturizing and detoxifying benefits” [26] but lab tests found no significant differences in mineral content between regular T-shirt cotton and Vitasea fabric. 26] Lululemon was subsequently forced to remove all health claims from its seaweed-based products marketed in Canada following a request by a Canadian regulator, the Competition Bureau of Canada.[27]

Product Quality[ edit ]

In 2013, some customers complained that the clothing was of poor quality, with some items being “too see-through”, having holes and falling apart after a few uses.[28][29] In December 2010, Lululemon recalled some of the store’s reusable bags, which were made of polypropylene, following reports of high levels of lead.[30] In 2013, Lululemon recalled its black yoga pants that were unintentionally transparent and “too skinny”;[31][32] the recall, which accounted for approximately 17 percent of all women’s pants sold in its stores, impacted its financial results.[33] ] ] The resulting financial loss and damage to the brand led to the forced departure of the company’s Chief Product Officer, Sheree Waterson,[34][6] and its CEO, Christine Day.[6][35]

Statements from the founder[ edit ]

Founder Chip Wilson has made numerous controversial statements. In a 2004 interview, Wilson mocked the Japanese pronunciation of the company’s name.[36] In 2013, he said the company doesn’t make plus-size clothing for women because it’s too expensive.[37] To explain the excessive pilling in the brand’s clothing, he accused some customers of wearing Lululemon’s clothes improperly or having body shapes that didn’t match his clothes.[38] In an interview for Bloomberg TV in 2013, he stated that some women’s bodies were unsuitable for the brand’s clothing.[38] Die Zeit called the statements “fat disgrace”.[39]

Comments like these reportedly led to Wilson’s resignation as chairman.[40] In June 2016, Wilson released an open letter to shareholders, stating that the company had “lost its way” and gave up market share to Nike and Under Armor after being denied an opportunity to speak at the company’s annual meetings. 42] Since then, Wilson has used his Elevate Lululemon website to criticize the brand and the business.[43][44]

litigation[edit]

In 2012, Lululemon filed a lawsuit against Calvin Klein and supplier G-III Apparel Group for infringement of three of its yoga pant design patents.[45] The lawsuit was somewhat unusual, as it involved a designer seeking intellectual property protection for clothing through patent rights. The case was settled out of court that same year.[46]

All Lives Matter[edit]

In 2021, a Business Insider report revealed that an unnamed company director urged employees to create an All Lives Matter campaign to display on its website in response to the murder of George Floyd. The staff pushed back, but were told to go ahead and create a mockup using the copy of All Lives Matter. However, they also created a mockup of the Black Lives Matter artwork, which ended up being chosen instead. The director apologized to 200 members of the company via a conference call and subsequently left the company.[47][48]

Why wasn’t my book printed?

Books that do not comply with Lulu’s membership agreement may be rejected by our printing partners.

What is a UPP order line item error?

Commercial printers use RIP (Raster Image Processing) servers to convert PDF files into printable images. UPP Order Line Error, also known as RIP Error, is generated when a PDF file cannot be processed through the RIP server and cannot be printed. This error indicates that something is wrong with the file being processed, but unfortunately does not indicate the cause of the error; However, we know that large files, corrupted fonts or graphics, file code errors, and other corrupted data can cause the RIP to fail.

Can Lulu tell me what’s wrong with my PDF or help me fix it?

Lulu cannot provide specific information on what is wrong with a PDF file that cannot be RIPped. Our printing partners throw a simple error indicating which file caused the error. However, if a file causes a RIP error, you will receive an automated email and a member of our support team will get back to you shortly. If it would help you, please reply to this message. We’ll be happy to run some tests on your project to try to find out more about the cause of the error if we can pinpoint the problem.

Lulu cannot always repair files that fail the RIP process. The best first step is to use the information below to create a new PDF.

Ways to minimize the chance of RIP failure:

Don’t let your file size get too big.

Crop images in a graphics program. Do not crop images in your page layout program, as the entire graphic file becomes part of the document, increasing file size and processing time.

Keep your document simple. Do not use complex color mixtures and intricate graphics.

Do not mix Type 1 and TrueType fonts in the same document.

If available, use preflight tools to identify common issues before uploading your file to the publishing tool.

Use reliable PDF creation software.

Use the right settings.

How do I get an invoice?

After placing an order, registered users can download an invoice from their order history.

Between an amazing return policy, price matching, weekly sales and more, quality workout gear is much more achievable. Take a deep breath and exhale because your next Lululemon shopping spree will be completely stress-free when you read these Shopping Secrets from Former Employees.

Take a look at these Lululemon shopping secrets you need to know for your next purchase.

Lululemon adds a new product to its website every Tuesday at around 6:15 p.m.

If you want to treat yourself and splurge on the new, new, according to The Krazy Coupon Lady, Lululemon adds new products to the “What’s New” section of their website every Tuesday around 6:15 p.m. No discount is given, but the retailer always starts with limited stock to stimulate demand, which means the item will most likely be sold out. We suggest that you don’t wait if you want and need something urgently.

The return policy is pretty lenient, even if it’s outside the return window

Spending over $100 on a pair of leggings can seem reckless, but Lululemon’s return policy is very forgiving. According to a Yahoo article, the brand will take back almost anything outside of the return window and trade it in for something new. The retailer clearly stands behind their products and genuinely cares about quality assurance and customer satisfaction.

Lululemon’s We Made Too Much sale starts every Thursday morning

Did someone say sell out?! According to The Krazy Coupon Lady, Lululemon has its weekly “We Made Too Much” sale that starts every Thursday morning. This includes online and in-store discounts, and apparently the best time to shop online is between 11am and 12pm. online and in the morning when you shop in-store.

Out of stock items can be purchased directly from any store in the country, plus free shipping

Waiting for something to go on sale can seem like a dangerous waiting game, as popular sizes are always the first to sell out. According to this Yahoo article, if an item in your size is sold out, go online and select “Find in store”. Next, call the store (within your country) and ask them to send a charge. You pay for the item over the phone and receive the sales price in the shop. Best of all, the store will ship the item directly to your home with FedEx absolutely free.

Lululemon always adjusts the price when in-store items appear cheaper online

Lululemon doesn’t like to mislead its customers. So if you come across an item online at the store that is cheaper, the store will match the price without questions as stated on The Krazy Coupon Lady. The same is true when you buy something online that appears cheaper in store. Just bring the online receipt and people there will honor the lower price.

Try snagging a discounted gift card to save 5-7% on your purchase

Treat yourself to a discounted Lululemon gift card if you’re trying to be frugal. There are certain websites like GiftCardGranny that usually offer a range of different savings. If you shop through one of these sites you can save around 5-7% on your purchase and many offers are e-gift cards meaning you don’t even have to wait for them to arrive in the mail.

Lululemon offers free hems and repairs—even if you’ve purchased a used item

Lululemon offers free hems for tops and bottoms, and you don’t even have to show tags or a receipt. Even if you bought the item used, the dealer will make this change if you wish. Another shopping secret is that Lululemon will also mend any torn seams or holes, meaning your leggings will truly last you a lifetime.

If you change your mind, online returns always have free shipping

One of the biggest disadvantages of online shopping is the cost of returning an item that doesn’t fit. Luckily for you, Lululemon not only offers free shipping, but also free returns. All online orders come with a prepaid returns label, so you can rest assured that even if it wasn’t right the first time, you’ll eventually get the right size.

Enter your phone number at checkout so you can make returns without a receipt

Receipts can be easily misplaced, but Lululemon allows returns without a receipt if you follow these steps, according to The Krazy Coupon Lady. Make sure you have an online account and include your phone number at checkout when checking out. This records your transaction so you don’t have to worry about not getting your money back if you lose your receipt.

The brand loves to surprise customers with random acts of kindness

Lululemon has a surprise and delight policy where every store is given the opportunity to “surprise and delight” every customer in the store for any reason.

Join The Sweat Collective to receive perks and discounts

If you teach group fitness, personal training, or run a community running club, you can join the Sweat Collective to receive discounts on your purchases. Lululemon wants you to redo his attire, so see if you qualify for these perks.

Discounts for military/first responders and medical personnel

Lululemon is offering a 25% discount to North American active-duty, reservist military members and their spouses, veterans, active-duty emergency responders, and nurses, physicians, and paramedics working in hospitals, acute care facilities, and long-term care facilities. You must present a valid government issued ID at the time of purchase and the discount is only valid in stores!

Black items are the hardest to find on sale

Black leggings, tank tops and bras are rarely found on sale or in the outlets. If you find these coveted pieces on sale, we encourage you to buy them right away! This also leads to the point that if you really love a pair of black pants or leggings, it can be a good idea to bite the bullet and buy full price.

Shop at the outlet

If you’re lucky enough to have a Lululemon outlet nearby, then check out the premises first before heading to a regular Lulu store. Although many of these items will be on the colorful side, there’s no doubt that you’ll definitely make some savings!

Use the Lululemon app

Download the Lululemon app to make your in-store shopping experience even better! You can scan barcodes on items you like to open a product description, ratings, and reviews page on your phone. Also, you can check online stock if your size is not available in store.

Updated: 4/5/2019 | lululemon return policy

lululemon sent a letter to patrons explaining that their shipping and returns process is being delayed. Some customers see returns waiting to be processed within weeks or even months. Please be patient during this difficult time. The lululemon crew is working on a rough schedule to comply with the social distancing requirements set out by the local government where the returns warehouse is located in Washington state.

Response times via live chat, phone, and email are taking longer than usual. We recommend emailing the Guest Education Center (GEC) with any issues with your orders.

Thank you for your consideration and attention.

lululemon activewear is expensive, and often you want expensive purchases to last a lifetime. Sometimes it doesn’t, and lululemon understands that (or at least it should). That’s why they stand behind their products and strive to make it right when things go wrong.

If the quality is not good enough, you are entitled to a return or exchange at lululemon. Read on to learn more about how lululemon returns work and if your item qualifies for the warranty promise.

What is lululemon’s return policy?

lululemon’s returns policy allows buyers to return full price products within 30 days for a refund using the original form of payment. The item must be in new and original condition.

The rip tag and product tag must be attached in order to receive a refund.

There are certain items that are considered final sale, even at full price. These non-refundable items include:

water bottles

Men’s and women’s underwear

socks

Swimwear without a protective lining

For online orders, lululemon offers free shipping AND returns.

How do lululemon returns work?

Stores allow you to submit your receipt within 30 days for a full refund on full priced goods. A representative will be happy to process your refund in the original form of payment if the refund is made within 30 days.

Online you need to login to your account and go to your order page. From there, click on “Order Details”.

If your item is eligible for a refund, you will have the option to click Return Item.

Fill out the form and download a return label. Drop off your return at your nearest USPS or Fedex office and allow approximately 7-15 days (or nearest billing cycle) for your return to be processed on the original payment form.

Are there any exceptions to the lululemon return policy?

There are some exceptions to refund payments that are beyond lululemon’s control. For example, if I buy online with PayPal and return it to the store, they usually refund with whatever form of payment I prefer. I usually go back to my debit card because it’s linked to my PayPal account.

I also once returned an item that I bought internationally. They ended up refunding the ticket price in store and not the actual value of the item I bought it from.

I bought a pair of leggings in Vancouver, BC, Canada for $98 CAD and returned them in Seattle, Washington for $98.

After that, I realized I had made money by returning it in the US!

Added to this is lululemon’s promise of quality, which extends to all items, even if they are sale items. The lululemon quality promise guarantees that its products will work for at least 5 years.

Now they’ve ruled out their popular Align leggings because they’re so fragile. You can always try to return them. You never know if you’re going to get a forgiving sales rep.

What about sale items?

All sale items, often referred to as “We Made Too Much” or WMTM, are FINAL SALE.

WMTM items cannot be exchanged or returned. Sale items are identified with a purple sticker on the label and the price ends with a number 9 (see image below).

If something is on sale, make sure you love something before you buy it. Try it in store. If you’re having trouble finding an item, call the store and speak to an educator (Lululemon employee) who will help you locate the item to try before you buy.

You can also use the lululemon app to find out where a specific sale item is in stock.

Are there exceptions to the WMTM return policy?

lululemon has been sued in Australia for its return policy on WMTM items. It was deemed misleading by consumers and they were fined A$32,400.

Under Australian Consumer Law, defective products entitle a customer to a refund or exchange.

Ultimately, lululemon will replace any faulty item in any country.

How does the lululemon guarantee work?

However, the lululemon guarantee applies to all products, including WMTM goods.

Guarantees are granted on a case-by-case basis. lululemon will normally attempt to repair your product prior to refund or exchange. They do this by outsourcing to seamstresses who can fix seams, buttons, zippers, etc.

If a product can’t be repaired, you’ll receive a refund, a gift card for current value, or exchange your item in-store for something new.

The period within which lululemon is willing to honor its product warranties can range from 2 to 5 years.

It depends on the educator or GEC representative you are interacting with and whether the product you are bringing in is damaged due to normal wear and tear OR whether it is actually a manufacturing issue.

If the damage is due to normal wear and tear, they most likely will not honor their quality guarantee.

Contact GEC to inquire if your item falls under the warranty policy.

What does a Lululemon repair look like?

The repaired seam will never look like the original and in some cases even worse! If the stitching is visible anywhere and looks awful, I recommend speaking to a manager and getting a refund or a replacement pair.

Below are some examples of how a broken seam is repaired.

When is lululemon’s quality guarantee null and void?

Here are the reasons why lululemon would not live up to its quality guarantee:

Products with advertising screen prints and designs. This would mean that you most likely received this item for FREE.

. Altered items (e.g. hemmed pants and jackets, sleeves, any other customizations to your clothing not made by lululemon)

Products older than 5 years.

Products without a receipt. However, you may be able to find a friendly educator or Guest Education Center (GEC) representative who is willing to trade in an item for you. GEC is lululemon’s customer service department, available via email, phone, and live chat.

The item is fake. Educators can tell when something is not authentic and make no guarantees about replicas.

UPDATE: As of September 2019, Lululemon has made pilling a quality issue. This means that if your product contains pills, you are no longer allowed to return it due to manufacturer defects or quality issues. This is really unfortunate because many of their Align leggings eventually pill.

Craftsmanship: Mindful Intent

It takes hundreds of hours of meticulous tailoring to create a garment that fits and works so well it almost feels like wearing nothing at all. Every single detail, from the way our gear wicks sweat away from your skin to how we get seams out of the way, is thought through with relentless attention. There are no shortcuts and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

If our product doesn’t work for you, we’ll take it back.

gift receipts

Gift vouchers are available for all online orders. To create a gift receipt, go to your order detail page – you can find it by tracking your order once it has been dispatched from our distribution centre.

Gift receipts allow the recipient to make an in-store exchange or receive a refund in the form of a lululemon gift card (in-store and online). Returning gift receipts is subject to lululemon’s return policy.

refund timing

When we receive and process your package at our warehouse, we will refund you within 3-10 business days and email you when this transaction has taken place. Please note that banks may require additional time to process and clear the transaction, so the credit may not appear until your credit card’s next monthly billing cycle.

*Note: If you paid with a prepaid credit card and no longer have the card, contact the GUEST EDUCATION CENTER to initiate the return. Otherwise the credit will be credited back to the prepaid card.

You can’t walk into a yoga studio or trendy health club these days without seeing someone wearing Lululemon. The Canadian athleisure brand has taken the yoga world by storm, earning a solid reputation for their luxurious workout gear and cult following.

Of course, their attention to quality at the highest level, delicious details and brand awareness comes at a high price. Some of us hesitate before spending $50 on a sports bra or $100 on a pair of leggings. Will they fit right? Can I return them? How long do Lululemon leggings last? What if they don’t live up to all the hype?

If you’re confused about Lululemon sizing, returns, warranties, exchanges, alterations, and customer service, I’m here for you. Lululemon is a brand unlike any other, and their unique way of doing things can be a little intimidating for the uninitiated.

After years of indulging in high-end gym apparel, I’ve learned all the ins and outs of getting what I pay for with Lululemon. And to be honest, I was quite impressed. Whether it’s your guilty pleasure or a regular investment, Lulu yoga gear should work both on and off the mat. Here’s everything you need to know about Lululemon clothing:

Lululemon sizing

A lot of people get confused by Lululemon sizing because it’s based on the old-school numeric sizing spectrum (size 2-12) rather than XS to XL. Some bottoms also include size 0 and 14-20. To make things a bit more confusing, leggings are listed in sizes 0-20, while tops can be listed by numeric size (0-20) or alpha size (XS-XL).

Each product is a little different due to proprietary fabrics and unique silhouettes. That being said, Lulu’s sizing charts tend to be fairly accurate, and most customers report a near-perfect fit when taking their measurements correctly.

There are separate size charts for bras, tops, shorts, socks, pants, coats, lingerie, skirts and swimwear so you can really get your size right. Here are the quick links:

How to recognize the size of Lululemon

The easiest way to determine your Lululemon size is to buy a basic sewing tape and take your measurements.

Sports bra size

Sports bras also have a numerical size (2-14), but the size chart will help you figure them out based on clothing size (XXS-XXL) and band size (28-42). They even have a bra quiz to help you find the best size for you.

Measure your band size by wrapping the measuring tape around the smallest part below your breasts.

Lululemon designs bras with cup size in mind, but this is listed with each model rather than requiring a measurement.

For example, the Energy Bra is designed for medium support of B-D cups, while the AirSupport Bra offers high support of C-DDD cups. If you search for e-cups, you’ll see a DDD label for the same fit but with a different name.

Lululemon tops size

Tops are primarily based on bust or bust measurement. Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust to get this measurement. Then use your standard top size as a guide. When in doubt, choose a larger size so you don’t get squeezed out of your range of motion.

Pants and leggings sizes

The size of the bottoms is based on three measurements:

waist

hips

length (inseam)

Measure your waist by placing the flexible tape measure around the narrowest part of your stomach. Do this after exhaling and maybe even after a meal to make sure you don’t accidentally measure too restrictively.

To measure your hips, stand with your feet together and guide the tape measure down to the top of your hip bones. Wrap tightly around the widest point of your hips.

The inseam is the distance from the crotch to the top of the hem. Each product has a different length and some have different options. Luckily, Lululemon offers a free hemming service for leggings and pants, as well as many other products. So you don’t have to worry too much about this one.

Keep in mind that Lulu sizes do not necessarily correlate to your dress size or the standard jean size of other clothing items.

Lululemon size guide

If you think you’re between sizes or really can’t figure out which fit is best for you, I highly encourage you to take advantage of Lululemon’s great customer service. You can book a free online video chat online for sizing help, or ask in store for assistance so a Lulu expert can help you find the perfect fit.

The great thing about Lululemon is the attention to detail, both in product design and customer service. They genuinely want to help you find the perfect fit and will go to great lengths to do so. I was guided by customer service in taking my measurements and finding my exact size during the online purchase. In store, the experience is even better. So don’t be afraid to ask for help!

How does Lululemon fit?

When it comes to fit, each product is slightly different. Most Lulu customers report that Lululemon pants fit true to size. The Lululemon reviews section of each product is usually the easiest way to tell, as reviewers are asked for their “usual size” and “ordered size.”

Do Lululemon leggings run large or small?

As a rule of thumb, Lulu tights, leggings, and tops run true to size, but joggers and sweatshirts can run larger or smaller depending on how roomy or “relaxed” you prefer the fit to be.

For example, someone who wears a size 4 in jeans might need a size 6 in certain leggings like the Wunder Under High Rise Tight, but they might prefer a 4 in the Relaxed High Rise Jogger because they tend to run in the larger size . Likewise, many women in sizes 10-12 prefer a 12 for Wunder Under Tights and a 10 for Joggers.

How do I know if my Lululemon leggings are too small?

Luxtreme and Luon fabrics are exceptionally stretchy, but once put on should be matte and knee-high. If you can partially see through the fabric, it is best to enlarge it so it doesn’t restrict your movement or reveal your feminine parts.

You can stretch the Luon fabric widthways with your hands to see if light shows through, showing you what the sheen of a too-small fit can look like. Anything shiny or see-through is a sure sign that your leggings are too small.

Size recommendations and give away Lululemon

If you don’t have a tape measure or are buying as a gift, you can also deviate from the model size recommendations listed under each product.

For example, these full length, mid rise dance studio pants were photographed on a model named Hayley who is 5ft 7″ and wears a size 4. This method isn’t foolproof, but it can make it easier to gauge where you or the person you’re buying fits the size spectrum.

As you will see below, the return policy is quite generous and if you buy the wrong size as a gift, you don’t have to worry. When in doubt, buy a Lululemon gift card. Gift cards never expire, have no transaction fees, and they’ll love it just as much.

Lululemon Return Policy

If you ordered the wrong size or fit, or just don’t love your new gear, don’t sweat it. The great thing about Lulu’s return policy is that all newly purchased goods can be returned in-store or by mail for free.

How to make a Lululemon return

Lululemon returns are really straightforward. Online you can simply use the self-service return option. For in-store returns, bring your receipt and new gear. In both cases, your equipment must be unwashed, unworn and still have the tags attached, otherwise it will not be accepted. In the case of bathing suits and underwear, the sanitary pad must still be intact.

A Lululemon online return typically takes 3-5 business days, while a personal return is instant. Don’t worry, you can fully return items purchased online by taking them to a local store as well.

The return window is exactly 30 days after purchase. Lulu’s return policy is generous during the holiday season: anything purchased between October 21st and December 24th can be returned or exchanged through January 23rd.

final sale item

However, anything purchased from We Made Too Much sales is a final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. Most Lululemon outlet stores have the same policy.

If you have ordered an “As New” product, you can return it via the “As New” returns portal. The process is really simple: just enter your order number and last name to find eligible returns. Unfortunately, in this case you will have to pay for the return shipping.

Lululemon Exchange Policy

If you accidentally got the wrong size or color, Lulu gear can only be exchanged in person at a Lululemon store. If you want to exchange an item you bought online, you can also do this in store or simply return it and order a new one.

Exchanges work very much like returns: you have 30 days from the date of purchase, items must be unworn and unwashed, tags must be attached, and you need your proof of purchase.

We Made Too Much items are still on sale and cannot be exchanged, so make sure you get the right size or you’ll end up gifting them or reselling them on Poshmark.

Lululemon Customer Service

Lululemon has one of the most responsive customer services around. Whether you’re shopping online or in person, you’ll get a special experience from experts who really know what they’re talking about and seem genuinely passionate about the product. On my recent visit to a local Lulu store I had leggings and a sports bra fitted and was very impressed with the friendliness and professionalism.

Your new virtual shopper is surprisingly helpful with sizing, styling, gift ideas, and other recommendations. You can also book a personal shopping appointment at your local store.

They also offer live chat, phone, and email customer support for questions you can’t find answers to in their FAQs. The Guest Education Center provides a quick and easy way to ask questions via live chat with Lululemon educators.

When will Lululemon be refilled online?

There are many rumors about the exact times and days that Lululemon will replenish its gear options. Online, this is typically around 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Tuesday afternoon or evening. That’s when Lulu fanatics have the best chance to jump on new products and sold-out items.

In stores, some say the same is true. Others say stores restock three times a week (usually Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays). But the truth is that every store is different. Perhaps you can ask your favorite local Lulu rep for the inside information.

Lululemon changes

Lulu’s commitment to customer service and quality products is more than just talk. They actually support their products with supplemental change services in all of their stores. Yes, you can have your yoga gear hemmed or altered by a professional Lululemon tailor for FREE!

This is how it works:

Try on pants or a top in the store, or bring a Lululmeon garment you’ve already purchased (no tags or receipt needed). the shoes you want to wear with the outfit so they have the right hem length

Some feature items cannot be hemmed if they have cuffs, drawstrings, buttons, zippers, etc. Lululemon’s professional tailors will seam them and you will be provided with a “hem receipt” to keep until you collect your gear in approximately 3-7 days depending on the store

Lululemon Guarantee

Quality is at the heart of everything Lululemon does, so it’s no surprise they offer a Lululemon Guarantee to back up their products. If something doesn’t work or last past its reasonable lifespan (e.g. your leggings rip within a few months of purchase) they will take them back and replace them for you.

This kind of “Lululemon Lifetime Guarantee” is actually called their quality promise. It’s all about durability and function, but of course the guarantee doesn’t apply to everything bought used or new.

Lululemon clothing is designed to be durable and durable in the activities it’s designed for: yoga, running, working out and sweating. With the right size and care, these products should really provide many years of regular use. If there is a manufacturing defect or a lower quality garment, Lulu stands behind its products 100% and will replace it.

This is another reason why Lululemon fans are so excited about this brand. They practice what they preach and back their luxury price tags with genuine functionality and style.

How long do Lululemon leggings last?

On average, Lululemon leggings will last 2-5 years with proper care. Some women I know have had their Lulus for almost 10 years! Yogis and runners often brag about how durable their leggings really are. They stand up to daily wear and tear and stand up to regular washes (if you wash them properly).

The only reasons a pair of Lululemon leggings wouldn’t last many years are: 1) they were improperly washed or cared for, 2) they were wrongly sized to begin with and/or they had weight fluctuations that altered the fit, or 3) there was a manufacturing defect where the promise of quality comes into play.

moral of the story? Wash your Lulu leggings cold or on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid exposing leggings to sharp objects that could affect the durability of the fabric. And be sure to wear them all the time to enjoy the quality of the product for as long as possible.

Lululemon reviews

Lululemon clothing has some of the best reviews you will find for any sports brand. From the fit, to the style, to the feel, to the function, customers usually rave about it in the review section of online products or in person at the gym.

All you have to do is scroll down under any product listing or simply ask anyone you spot with the signature A-shaped logo. Every woman I’ve ever asked, “Were those Lululemon leggings worth it?” replied, “Honestly, they were worth every penny.”

There’s a reason they say, “Once you go Lulu, you never go back.” Cheap yoga gear just can’t keep up.

Final Thoughts

Whether or not you have an extra chunk of change for new yoga gear at the end of the day is a matter of personal choice. But if you want to treat yourself or find a trusty pair of soulmate leggings to wear every day, Lululemon is the place to be.

Worst case, you don’t like the fit or size and you can return it worry-free. If they are too long, you can have them hemmed. If they don’t sustain regular use or start breaking before the garment’s lifetime is up, Lululemon will even honor its warranty and give you a new pair. There really isn’t much to lose with Lulu! In my experience, they live up to all the hype and more.

Namaste!

One of the main reasons I don’t “buy all Lululemon” is because I’ve had a consistent experience with pills.

No matter what I do, my lululemon Align leggings pill in between and sometimes on the front and back of my thighs. It’s unsightly, itchy, and quite annoying considering I paid over $100 for it.

My thighs rub against each other 24/7. This promotion is endearingly nicknamed “Chub Rub”. It doesn’t matter if you’re thin or fat, chub rub can happen to anyone.

This could be because of your size or because your bones are aligned in an odd way.

Even when I was 15 pounds lighter, I still had chub rubs. Chub friction is the main cause of pilling.

Other causes include regular wear and tear, overuse, and brushing against abrasive surfaces such as stone, cement, velcro, or brick.

I was fortunate enough to be able to test ALL the Lululemon fabrics listed below. I have listed a description of the fabrics along with how to prevent and remove pilling if it occurs. Read the descriptions to find the perfect fabric for your lifestyle.

Other lululemon substances PILLS

Herringbone: Pills like crazy! I’ve had my fishbones for 3 years and they pill as soon as I start walking around in them. The pilling can be easily removed with an electric razor and the leggings are said to be made of Luon. They’re also thick enough that shaving and pilling won’t thin the fabric. Pique: This fabric resembles the herringbone pattern but is slightly thinner. The fabric has a more compressive fit than herringbone and doesn’t pill as much. Pilling can also be removed with an electric razor.

How to remove pilling from leggings

#1 With an electric fabric razor

This is our favorite way to remove pilling from my gym wear. We use a corded electric shaver so we don’t have to buy batteries.

If you want it completely wireless, we recommend the rechargeable cloth shaver from Magictec. It’s compact, USB rechargeable, and highly rated on Amazon.

When using an electric fabric razor, keep the pressure of the razor light against the fabric to avoid creating a hole in the fabric.

It should take less than a minute for your leggings to feel like new again (see image below).

#2 With a disposable razor

I haven’t tried this method but it seems to work. Keep a disposable razor handy to remove pilling if it occurs.

I would keep it in one area with all my sewing and knitting tools. Also, consider using it on other garments that pill, like sweaters and shirts.

Lululemon Athletica is a Canadian athletic apparel retailer based in Vancouver. His name is all lowercase, e.g. B. lululemon athletics. It started in 1998 as a retailer of yoga pants and other yoga wear but has since expanded into activewear, lifestyle clothing, accessories and personal care products. The company has 491 locations around the world and now sells online. A common question asked by people and customers is what shipping companies they use. It is precisely this question that is answered in this essay. So who does lululemon use for shipping?

Lululemon and Damco, a logistics service provider, have reached an agreement. In almost 150 countries, they use USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Lasership or 946 carriers for international orders around the world.

Shipping

Shipping time and charges accurately reflect the total time it takes to process an order. It’s also important to note that Lululemon ships all orders four days after the order is placed. Also countries like North America and some parts of Canada may experience shipping delays due to the cold weather.

Standard shipping takes two to six business days in total and is free. Expedited shipping takes two to four days in total and costs $20. Finally, priority shipping takes two to three business days to arrive and costs $30.

taxes and duties

Lululemon cannot provide estimated duties and taxes as this information varies from country to country. Please note that if you order online, you will be responsible for all duties, taxes and customs fees. If your order is then refused, you will still have to bear the cost of returning the goods.

PO Box or a rural shipping

Lululemon ships to PO boxes and rural areas. On their website they mention that they cannot and do not guarantee expedited shipping when shipping to PO boxes or to rural areas. They also mention that when shipping to rural areas, they can’t deliver hazardous materials like aerosols or hairsprays – things that are easily damaged and can cause a fire. They also ship to military bases, but delivery can take up to 45 business days.

Shipping of hazardous materials

You cannot order hazardous products like aerosols if you live in Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico. All hazardous materials, including aerosols, must be shipped via normal ground shipping if located outside of North America. Shipping is free if you live in Puerto Rico. After leaving Lululemon’s distribution center, your order will arrive within 2-7 business days.

delivery time

Your items will be processed and shipped as soon as possible after you place your order. Don’t worry, they will send you tracking information as soon as your product arrives. Please note that regular international shipping rates never include taxes or duties, which may vary by location.

Lululemon International Shipping Report

On the postmen.com website, a reviewer ran a project where he would basically rate all of the popular brand’s international shipping policies. In this case, they’re testing international shipping through sportswear company Lululemon, which ships to Hong Kong. The order was placed on November 18th and they received a shipping notification the same day. They chose TGX Hong Kong (standard delivery) and it was promised that the clothes would be delivered to the customer within 1-3 business days.

The customer received their clothes within two business days on November 20th, which we think is really impressive. The packaging was average and didn’t have any special protection against the harsh international shipping, but it also doesn’t come with a clear shipping label. If you wish to return it, you cannot also return Lululemon clothing by post.

Finally, Lululemon is also very inconsistent when it comes to shipping times, making it difficult to track. Shipping time is a bit TOO conflicting (e.g. they say 1-2 biz days in FAQ, 1-7 biz days before checkout, then 1-3 days during checkout).

Conclusion

Lululemon is a brand that is widely known and respected for its quality and breathable training gear. In addition to their clean image, their shipping policies are transparent, making them a fun company to shop from. Although the majority of Lululemon’s products are shipped by sea (75 percent according to experts), the remaining percentage still results in significant carbon emissions from the use of flights for transportation.
