How to Exchange Books (Bundles Only)

Updated on

If you purchased  Bundle within the past 30 days and realized that your student needs a different level of printed books, you may be eligible for an exchange

This guide covers how to exchange the full level of printed books that you originally purchased as part of your Bundle with a different level of books.

  • We only exchange books that were purchased as part of a Bundle
    • If you'd like to exchange books that were not ordered as part of a Bundle, you'll need to return the books within 30 days of purchase and place a new order
  • Return shipments must either arrive at our warehouse within 30 days of purchase or be postmarked within 30 days of purchase

1. Review Policy

Review the Bundle return policy before proceeding with your return.

2. Verify Shipment Status

The next steps you take will depend on your book shipment's status. There are three possible statuses:

  • In your possession
  • On the way to you

If the books are in your possession, proceed. If not, you'll need to change your book order before it ships.
