Returns
What is your returns policy?
All unused materials in good condition (see Restrictions below) may be returned for credit, within 2 years of original purchase. Please remember, if there is even a small amount of damage, we cannot resell the item, so we cannot credit you for it.
A 10% restocking fee will be deducted from the credit.

Preparing your return:
- Make certain the items are in good shape:
- No grease or ink stains
- No writing inside or outside
- No cover or page damage
- Complete a Returns Form:
- A copy was included with your shipment or you may download one.
- Make a copy of the original invoice or packing slip to include with the return.
- Items returned without this may be credited at a reduced rate.
- All credits issued in this manner are final and will not be increased if a copy of the invoice is received at a later date.
Steps for packaging and shipping:
- Use a NEW, sturdy container of appropriate size.
- The US Postal Service, UPS, and FedEx handle millions of packages daily. The packages get tossed about and stacked. Re-used boxes may not be able to stand up to this treatment, allowing damage to book covers and corners. Don’t let your return become a casualty.
- View pictures of damaged returns sent in re-used or non-sturdy containers.
- Carefully package the studies.
- Protect spiral-bound book covers by alternating the direction of the studies so the spirals are not one on top of the other. Use a package wide enough so each book’s spirals do not rest on the book cover below it.
- Add enough filler, packed firmly into all empty spaces, to keep contents from shifting during transit.
- Don’t use newspaper as package filler unless you first wrap the materials with clean paper or plastic. Materials smudged with newsprint ink are not acceptable for credit.
- View pictures and step-by-step packaging instructions.
- Insure the package when you ship it.
- When you ship your returns, USPS Media Mail is often the least expensive method. Make certain you purchase enough insurance to guarantee reimbursement in the event your package is lost or damaged.
