The modern world has become a hurried place, with lots of rushing about for our jobs or our social life. It can be exhausting! Even worse, it gives us less time to settle down and put time into certain hobbies, like reading a good book.
This is where audiobooks come in. Audiobooks allow you to enjoy all the story, wonder, and enjoyment of a book, but without you having to read it.
If you’re hurrying somewhere, you won’t be able to hold a book and read it, but you will be able to pop some headphones on and listen to the book be read to you instead.
Amazon’s company Audible is the next revolution in audiobooks, being an online service that allows you to buy and stream over 200,000 different audiobooks.
This is a vast library that’s packed with so many books that you’d want to read, and it makes accessing them very easy.
However, it might be the case that you want to return a book. So, how do you?
Thankfully, we’ve got the answers! If you want to return a book on Audible, then our handy guide below will help you out. It only takes a few steps, so follow our straightforward explanation!

Does My Audible Book Meet The Return Policy?
It won’t always be the case that you can return your book on Audible, because it might not meet the conditions of their return policy anymore. Thankfully, they’re quite straightforward.
First off, you have to be a member of Audible Premium Plus to be able to return books on Audible. If you belong to a different membership, we’re afraid you won’t be able to make the return.
On top of that, every return has to be made within 365 days of its purchase. This means that if you bought your book on Audible over a year ago, you won’t be able to return it and get a refund.
This is understandable, since a year is a long time to read something and make your mind up on whether you like it!
Additionally, customers who have canceled their membership or failed to maintain it in good standing are not going to be eligible to make returns on Audible.
Also, customers who have been found to misuse their return privilege, like making excessive amounts of returns, will also not be allowed to make returns.
How Does My Refund Work?
When you return a book on Audible, you will get a refund. However, the form of the refund can differ, and it all depends on how you purchased the book in the first place.
- If you used Audible credit to buy the book, you get refunded in credit.
- If you used a credit card, you get refunded on that credit card.
- If you used a coupon, you get a coupon refund.
