We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you purchased your product directly from WK-LWW and it does not meet your expectations, you may return it. Please see our policy and steps for returning below.

If you purchased an LWW product from a retail location (school bookstore, Amazon, etc.) and not directly through us, you must contact that retailer to process your return/refund.

You may return your book within 30 days for a full refund. Please note your book will be ineligible for return if any access code has been scratched off (activated or not). Please follow the physical return instructions below.

POD (Print on Demand)

Print-on-demand titles are not returnable or refundable.

Digital Products (CoursePoint, Vitalsource eBooks, PrepU, vSim, etc.)

Your digital product may be eligible for a full refund if requested within 14 days of the activation date AND if there has been no usage on the product. Please call, email or chat with Customer Service to request a refund.

You may return software/video access code(s) if it is unopened, without activation or installation. Please follow the physical return instructions below.

Downloadable Products (Stedmans, etc.)

Downloadable products are not returnable or refundable.

For physical product returns, please follow these three easy steps:

  1. Download a pre-printed mailing label (.pdf format)
  2. Please include the invoice/packing slip for the products you are returning inside the package. This will allow us to easily locate your account and the order you are returning. You can print your invoice here. If you do not have your invoice and you are unable to print it, please include the name associated with the order, the complete shipping address and a contact phone number so we can properly credit your account.
  3. Affix the courtesy return label securely to your package and mail it from your local post office.
