At The Books Empire, we value customer satisfaction and aim to make your shopping
experience smooth and worry-free. Below is our clear policy for returns, refunds, exchanges,
and cancellations.

Return Policy
We offer a 15-day return window starting from the day you receive your order. A return will
only be accepted if:

• The item is unused, unopened, and in original condition.
• The product is sent back in its original packaging (if available).
• The reason for return is due to damage, defect, or incorrect item received.
• Returns for personal preferences (e.g., change of mind, wrong choice) are not
  accepted.

Important Notes

• Shipping charges are non-refundable, except when our Speedy Delivery ($6.99)
  delivery guarantee is not met.
• Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility.
• Once the returned product is received and inspected, refunds are processed within 2–3
  business days and credited to the original payment method.

Exchange Policy
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, you can request an exchange within 15
days of delivery.
Exchange Process:
1. Contact our customer service team to initiate the exchange.
2. Pack and ship the product back to us (preferably in the original packaging).

Bulk Orders
For large or wholesale purchases, exchanges are only provided for items damaged during
delivery. Only the damaged quantity will be replaced.

Non-Returnable Items
We do not accept returns or exchanges for counterfeit items, or for products that differ from
our catalog due to unauthorized sellers.
