It happens so often that Mango’s “new in” today turns into tomorrow’s promo, and before you’ve even taken the tags off, that full-priced blazer is suddenly on sale. Now you’re left with that “why didn’t I wait a day longer?” feeling.
Here’s some good news: you can get the price difference back if you act quickly, and we’ll show you how.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Mango price adjustment policy, explaining what qualifies and how to submit your request. We’ll also introduce you to Settlemate, a handy app that helps you spot price drops and claim every eligible refund automatically.
What is a price adjustment?
A price adjustment (sometimes called price protection) helps fix bad timing for shoppers. If an item you bought drops in price shortly afterward, a price adjustment lets you get the difference back.
Without post-purchase refunds, shoppers would simply return a full-priced item and buy it again at the lower price. From a retailer’s perspective, processing returns is typically more expensive and annoying than just refunding the difference. Price adjustments can also help build customer loyalty by enabling shoppers to get the best possible deal.
For shoppers, price adjustments serve as a safety net against unpredictable pricing. You get to buy something when it feels right, instead of waiting and hoping a sale shows up at the perfect moment.
That said, retailers don’t just hand out price adjustments left and right. They typically enforce strict eligibility rules, which often include:
- How long you have to request the adjustment (usually 7–14 days)
- What counts as an eligible item
- Which price drops qualify and which are excluded
- How many times an item’s price can be adjusted
What you need to know about the Mango price adjustment policy
Mango offers to refund the difference only if you bought the item at full price. If that dress, pair of boots, or handbag was already marked down at checkout, it won't qualify for a price adjustment.
Below is a breakdown of the key Mango price adjustment policy details:
Despite Mango’s clear eligibility rules, two points tend to confuse shoppers, so let’s clarify them:
- Promo codes: Even if an item was listed at full price, using a discount or promo code at checkout will disqualify it from a future price adjustment.
- Additional markdowns: You can only request a price adjustment the first time an item goes on sale after your purchase. If the price drops further, Mango won’t allow a second adjustment.
How to get your Mango price adjustment refund
Price adjustments at Mango aren’t automatic. If you want the refund, you need to request it by taking the following steps:
- Verify the price drop: Visit the product page on Mango’s website and confirm that the lower price is still active. Make sure that the item matches your original purchase, down to the reference number.
- Check the 14-day window: Mango is strict about timing. If you’re even one day outside the eligibility window, your request won’t be approved.
- Gather your order details: Have your receipt or online order number ready. Without it, customer support won’t be able to review your request.
- Contact Mango customer support: Reach out via the chatbot or call 1-866-666-4664. Clearly state that you’re requesting a price adjustment due to a post-purchase price drop.
- Wait for confirmation: If your request is approved, Mango will refund the price difference to your original payment method.
How to streamline manual price adjustment requests
The biggest problem with price adjustment requests is the constant attention they demand. Most people simply don’t have the time or patience to monitor price changes, keep track of deadlines, and follow up with customer support. Doing so becomes even more difficult if you shop frequently across different retailers, each with its own rules and claim windows.
Another common hesitation is the relatively small refund you might get from a single price adjustment. On its own, it may not feel worth the effort. Over time, though, missing several refunds can add up to a meaningful amount of money left on the table.
That’s where automation makes a real difference. It can remove the most common obstacles to getting your money back, including:
- Not realizing that a certain retailer offers price adjustments
- Forgetting to check prices after purchase
- Missing short refund windows
- Getting tripped up by different retailer policies
- Not wanting to deal with customer support
Price adjustment apps like Settlemate turn the entire process into a background task. Settlemate monitors post-purchase price drops, identifies eligible refunds, and automatically sends price adjustment requests—so you don’t have to.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a Mango Outlet price adjustment policy?
No, Mango Outlet doesn’t offer price adjustments. Outlet pricing is clearance-based, meaning items are already heavily discounted as past-season stock.
How and when will I receive my Mango refund?
Refunds are issued to your original payment method. Once your refund is approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email, and the funds should show up in your account within 3–12 business days, depending on your bank.
Can you return Mango sale items?
Yes, you can return any Mango item if it meets the retailer’s return conditions. Items must be unworn, unwashed, have all original tags attached, and be returned within 30 days. You can’t return personalized items, though.
