Eligibility
If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you are eligible to return the item(s) for a full refund within 90 days of the date the order was shipped.
For returns requested over the 90-day grace period, the cost shipping and restocking will be deducted from your refund.
All items must be returned in the same condition they were received, regardless of the return date.
All returns must be requested by the original purchaser. However, you can specify a different contact to be the point of contact for the return authorization itself.
We do not accept returns of clearance products.
Credits, Refunds, and Exchanges
Refunds will be issued in the same method as the original payment, or, if requested, in AAB Store Credit. In the event that multiple payment methods were used, your refund may be issued across all methods used.
For purchases made with a credit card, a refund will be issued to the credit card number used and may be subject to a processing fee.
Refunds will be processed within 30 business days of receipt of the returned goods.
You may exchange your returned items with other items by using your refund in the form of Store Credit.
Returns Due to Non-Delivery
If books are returned or AAB due to non-delivery (i.e. incorrect or incomplete shipping information or refusal of delivery), you may be charged the cost of return shipping.
If items are returned to AAB due to an internal processing error on the part of AAB, we will cover the cost of return and re-shipment to the correct address.
Promotional Terms & Conditions
When a promotional item included in the original transaction is NOT returned but other items on the order are, the value of the promotional item will be deducted from the refund amount. For example, if you wish to return an order in which free Partner Packs were included but do not return the Partner Packs, the value of the Partner Packs you keep will be deducted from your total refund.
Items purchased using a promotion, discount, or custom pricing will be refunded for the amount at which they were purchased.
Returned items will not count towards any bulk purchasing or sales-related discount program.
