Returning The Books

100% Returns for Maximum Flexibility

With our innovative returns policy, you can return 100% of your books each academic term, offering you unparalleled flexibility in managing your inventory. Unlike traditional wholesale return policies that impose limits, our approach allows you to confidently adjust your stock without the worry of hitting a return cap.

When your books arrive at our warehouse, we ensure they are checked in and processed promptly, so you can quickly get back to focusing on what matters most—serving your students and faculty. Our goal is to provide a seamless returns experience that aligns with your bookstore’s needs.
