After performing the entire steps, you have successfully returned your book on audible.

You cannot return the title using the mobile app. So you need to log in on the official website for returning the audiobook. 

As you have learned all the steps for returning the audiobook, now I think you should also be aware of certain terms that Audible follows for any refund.

Why Can’t I Return a Book on Audible

Though you can return most of the books, still there are some books which you cannot return on Audible.

And how you can know which books you can return and which one not, for that, you have to see the option corresponding to the book title you have purchased.

If you see the option ‘Not eligible for return’ that means the return services are not included in that particular book.

Though there is not any fixed number of books that you can return. But, if you are overusing the benefits of returning the audiobook, then Audible may reach out to you and ask you the reason for returning the books. Audible customer service will also help in finding the best book for you.

Other questions which people generally ask

Is there any limit on the books we can return on Audible?

No, there is no limit. But, there are certain titles which do not fall under the audible exchange service. Also, if you are overusing audible return then you might be inquired by the Audible customer care.

Otherwise, you can return audible books for as many times as you want.

In how many days you can get Audible refund?

The number of days in which you can get your amount refund back depends on how you pay for it at the time of buying the book. If you have paid through credit card, then you will get a refund within a few hours of return.

However, if you have paid through other payment methods then it might take 7 to 10 business days depending on the mode of payment and the financial institution involved.

Conclusion

When I did the research in the market. I was actually surprised that more people didn’t know that they can actually return a book on audible.

In my opinion, it is one of the audible’s best features. It makes a lot of sense. You can simply return a book if you don’t like it.

For most of the people out there, they simply think, if they don’t like a book after purchasing, their credit simply flushes away, and that’s not true. They can simply go to their library and choose the option to return a book.
