Ingram Book Returns
Historically, publishers grant booksellers the right to return unwanted and/or overstocked copies of books. These books are considered “returnable.” As books are returned, booksellers expect to be reimbursed for the cost (i.e. their purchase price) of any books they return.
Although online retailers are less selective than brick and mortar stores in regards to whether a book is returnable, typically, brick and mortar stores will not order a book unless it is returnable. These brick and mortar stores range from the “big box” stores, such as Barnes and Noble, Books A Million, and Costco, and include most independent bookstores as well. Although there is no guarantee that booksellers will carry your title if you make it returnable, it increases the likelihood that your book will be considered by booksellers if it has a returnable status.
We support standard industry conventions by allowing you to designate whether your titles can be returned. You can make this designation at the time of initial title setup, and the return designation can also be changed at any time.
