Textbook Returns

 

New textbooks may be returned provided that they are in new condition, unread and unmarked and you have your receipt. After the initial return period (first two weeks), new textbooks will be accepted for return provided they meet the established criteria above and they are accompanied by proof of withdrawal from the course, up to the last day of classes. A 10% restocking fee will apply.

Used textbooks and custom courseware (ie. course manuals) are not returnable at any time.
 
eBooks and Access Codes are non-returnable once redeemed and can only be returned within the first two weeks of classes.  All digital returns are subject to approval by the publisher, which can cause delays in the return process.

Clothing and gifts can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Items must be in their original packaging, condition, and have tags still attached.

Trade Books

Order Pickup and Abandoned Orders

Pickup orders will be held for up to 30 days and then they will be considered abandoned.  After 30 days we will contact you by email to remind you to pick up your order. If it is not picked up within 14 days of this reminder it will be considered abandoned and will be recycled.
