College Advice |
Question: Can I get a refund on my books?So, I was suppose to attend college this year...but I never went, I purchased books for Fall 08', and now its Jan, Can I get a refund? **I purchased the books in August 2008** John Tyler Community College12 months ago
Best AnswerBookstores usually have a period of time in which they'll take back the books, but it's usually something like 'one week after classes start'. Call them up and ask what their return policy is. They'll probably buy them back, but you don't even get half price for that. |
