NOTE: When you return your books by shipment, they must be sent to the address above or delivered in person in one of our stores. We do not accept any returns that are delivered to any kiosks, post offices, etc.

If you refuse to receive the item or do not pick up the item within the pick-up deadline, we will deduct the cost of the return shipment (DKK 45) from the amount you receive as a refund.

 


 

The order payment will be refunded to you within 14 days from when your return notification reaches Customer Services. (Please note that at the beginning of a new semester, your refund may take a while longer).

In cases where we receive the returned products earlier or where you send us documentation of the products having been shipped (e.g., a receipt from the postal services), we will refund the payment immediately following this. Documentation for sending us your products can be emailed to academicbooks@academicbooks.dk - remember to include the order number and specify the returned products.

You are responsible for the products you are returning until we have received them in Customer Services. This means that you will need to cover any costs should the products be damaged or lost in transit. The costs of sending us the products are non-refundable.

If you need to return a wrongly delivered or damaged product, we will pay your shipping costs.


 

About the condition of the returned products

When you make use of your right to regret a purchase from academicbooks.dk and wish to return the books, please note that to receive a full refund the books need to be in the same condition as when you received them, meaning that they should be in a normal condition for new books and as such possible for us to sell again to another customer.

If the books you return carry signs of use or are damaged in any way, we will make a case-by-case assessment of the value of each product with regard to being able to sell it again at full price.

Based on this assessment, we will decide if your refund will be 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, or 0% of the original order payment for the product.

Examples of signs of use or damages which could result in a reduction of the product value are folded page corners, marks on the cover, a broken back (from e.g., folding the book backward as when taking photocopies), bent or torn cover or pages, or writing in the book.

Remember, these are only guidelines and examples of damages that will result in a reduced refund. If you are uncertain of what to expect, you can try to compare with your own expectations as a customer buying a new product - would you want to pay the full price for the product you are returning or would you expect a reduction due to the condition of the product?

Should the book be in a condition which we assess makes the product unsellable even at a reduced price, e.g., if you have written in the book, you will not be able to get a full or reduced refund of the order payment for the product, and you could instead try to resell the book via a used book website or store.

Please note: By returning only part of a book bundle, the collective discount will no longer apply.
