Returns & Refunds

All textbooks bought during the summer months for the upcoming school year can be returned for a full refund until September 30 of that year. If the September deadline has passed, please contact the retail manager for your return options at info@alphatextbooks.com or (416) 461-3542.

To be eligible for a full-refund, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging (if applicable), and electronic access passcodes must be unused (if applicable).

To be eligible for a full-refund at any other time in the year that is not the start of the school season, you have a seven day period from the date of purchase, or you may call and make special accommodations with the retail manager.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. Please do not send your purchase/book back to the manufacturer/publisher.
