Free returnReviewed within 1 business day

Check before you drop off

Carrier procedures can change. Before drop-off, check this guide and your approval email. If they differ, contact SchoolSteps before handing over the parcel.

The return journey

Six clear steps

Your request is recorded immediately. Approval only activates the free GAP Akis Express drop-off arrangement.

  1. Step 1

    Request from your order

    Go to My Account → My Orders → Order details → Request a return. Select the products and add a reason only if you want to.

  2. Step 2

    Wait for the approval email

    We confirm your request immediately and review it within 1 business day. Do not resend the product yet.

  3. Step 3

    Pack the products

    After approval, you have 3 days to pack and drop off the parcel. Protect the original shoe box and remove old labels.

  4. Step 4

    Drop off and keep the receipt

    Choose a location from the GAP Akis Express store finder, send us the package according to the instructions provided, and keep the receipt and consignment number.

  5. Step 5

    We receive and inspect the return

    When the parcel arrives, we check that the returned products are intact and meet the return conditions.

  6. Step 6

    We issue your refund

    Once the return passes inspection, we issue the refund and email you a confirmation.

Pack it safely

  • Put each product in its original shoe box.
  • Place the shoe box inside an outer bag or shipping box.
  • Remove or cover old courier labels.

What to say at the counter

Show your approval email and give the GAP Akis Express team these details:

Recipient

Reference

You should not be charged. If GAP Akis Express cannot find the account or asks you to pay, do not hand over the parcel—contact SchoolSteps first.

After drop-off

The carrier hand-off and receipt are the proof that your parcel entered the return journey.

  • Keep the Akis receipt and consignment number until your refund is complete.
  • Tracking and marking the parcel received are manual in this version, so updates may not appear immediately.
  • We inspect the returned products after receipt and email you as your return and refund progress.

Something does not match? Stop and ask us.

Do not pay or hand over the parcel if the shop cannot find the SchoolSteps account, or if this guide differs from your approval email.
