Pick/Up Program

What is the Pick/Up program?

The Buy Online, Pick Up in Person program, which we call Pick Up, is a convenient way to order the items you wish to purchase online at mynavyexchange.com and pick up at your preferred NEX store. Orders will be filled within 24 hours (please allow extra time when store is closed, such as Thanksgiving).

How does Pick/Up work?

Simply go to myNavyExchange.com, select store Pick/Up and place your order. You will receive an email confirmation acknowledging receipt of your order. A second email will be sent when your order is ready for Pick/Up. Once you arrive at the store, follow the bright yellow & blue signs to the Pick/Up location. Pick/Up locations will vary by location (may not be at the Customer Service area).

Is every item available for Pick/Up?

At this time, only a select number of items are available for Pick/Up. The plan is to add additional products as the program grows in participation.

What if an item is not available?

At time of checkout, the system will check the current availability of all items in your cart. If an item has sold out at your selected store you can a) select another store as a Pick/Up location or b) Change your delivery method to have the items delivered to your home or ship to store for pick up at a later day (typically within 5-7 business days for most locations).

Can I change my store after the order has been placed?

You would need to contact the original store and ask to have the order canceled. To expedite the request, please have your order number available. You would then need to reorder the items selecting the store you wish to use for Pick/Up.

How will I know when my Pick/Up order is ready?

You will receive an email when your order is ready for Pick/Up.

What do I need to bring with me to Pick/Up my order?

You will need your CAC card or dependent card when picking up your order. To facilitate Pick/Up, please have your order confirmation email available for reference.

Where do I go to collect my Pick/Up order?

While most stores will utilize the Customer Service area for Pick/Up, we recommend checking the Find a Store page for your store (located on www.mynavyexchange.com at the top of the page to the left of the image of the cart). This will indicate where your Pick/Up order will be located as well as store hours and directions.

When will I be charged for my order?

You will be charged for your order at time of Pick/Up.

Please note: At the time your order is placed, an authorization is placed against your available credit for the amount of the purchase. While you are not charged, these funds are reserved for this purchase.

How do I cancel an order?

There are several ways to cancel an order. You may call the Customer Service team at the store where you would have picked up your order or, if you are visiting the Store, stop by the Customer Service area and advise an associate that you wish to cancel your Pick/Up order. Please have your order number available to facilitate the process. It can be found on your “Ready for pickup” email.

How do I Return an item purchased through the Pick/Up program?

Simply bring the item or items back to your NEX store’s Customer Service area. Please have your order number available for quicker service. If you are unable to access an NEX store, please contact our Customer Care Center team for directions how to package and return your items by calling 877.810.9030. They are open and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week (except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day).

How will I be refunded if I return an item?

Refunds will be credited against your original form of payment. Should the original form of payment no longer be available, store will issue an NEX gift card for the value of the return.

Should you ship your return to our Returns Center, an associate will contact you for the full credit card information, as that information is not stored in our system.

Substitution Policy

We try to have every advertised item in stock. If out-of-stocks occur, we offer a substitute item at a comparable savings for in-store purchases only. This excludes limited quantity and special-purchase items. If you do not want the substituted item and the original sale item is still available from the manufacturer, we will place a special order for you at the sale price without a special order fee.

Conus NEXs, including Pearl Harbor, do not accept manufacturer’s or NEX coupon that has expired. Overseas NEXs, including Guantanamo Bay, can accept expired cents-off manufacturer’s coupons for up to six months past the coupon expiration date. This will allow patrons in overseas locations to utilize short dated and expired coupons that are often forwarded by support groups in the U.S.
The NEX accepts all NEX generated percent and cents-off coupons. This includes NEX coupons distributed in-store for select products, multi-discount scratch-off cards, NMCRS Benefit Tickets, NEX Facebook coupons, SMS text promotions, and other promotional NEX coupons.
The NEX accepts percent-off and cents-off scratch-off coupons from the other Military Service Exchanges.
The NEX accepts a manufacturer’s coupon and NEX coupon, or coupon from another Military Exchange Service, on the same item. The combination of the two coupons cannot exceed the price of the product; money is not returned to a customer on the redemption of two coupons which exceeds the price of the product.
