Audible's Return Policy

Audible's return policy allows active members to take a chance on a new book without losing a credit or money. It's one of the best Audible tips that you can make good use of. However, you'd better review the following return requirements before starting the return process.

1You must return your Audible books within 365 days of the original purchase.

2 Members have unlimited book returns as long as the title is within 1 year of the purchase date. And non-members can return 2 book titles once every 6 months.

3 You’ll be refunded with the same way you purchased the book. That is to say, if you bought the book with a credit, you'll get a credit back. Whereas if you paid for the book, you'll get your money back.

4 Never try to game the system by abusing the return policy. Otherwise, you can no longer enjoy your book-returning privileges, or even worse, your Audible account will be banned.

Back up Audible Books Before Returning

You should know there exist risks in returning books on Audible since you may be considered to have abused the return policy if you returned too many books in a few days. In this case, Audible might ban your account and thus you can no longer access all your purchased Audible books.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, you ought to know how to back up your Audible books. Only in this way can you ensure that you can listen to them anytime you want. Are you considering that transferring Audible books to your computer is equal to backing up them correctly? If you have this thought in your mind, you are totally wrong because Audible aax/aa books are all protected with DRM (Digital Rights Management). If the DRM isn't removed successfully, the Audible books you have stored are completely useless.

Well, the right way to back up your books is to remove the DRM and convert aax/aa to mp3 or m4b so that you can play them with no barrier on any other music apps. Here Epubor Audible Converter is highly recommended to you, which can efficiently help you remove Audible DRM and convert Audible aax/aa audiobooks to mp3/m4b with 100% original quality preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q 1: I can't return an Audible book. Why?

A: If your book says "Not eligible for return", you can contact Audible Customer Service  to process the return.

Q 2: How many books can I return to Audible? Any risk in returning books?

A: Actually Audible haven't set a limit on the number of book-returning. But if you get caught misusing the return policy like making returns too frequently, you may be deprived of returning privileges or even your account.
In general, you can return approximately 10 books through clicking the automatic web button once a year if you are a member. However, that's not for everyone. Someone may be stripped of online automatic returning privileges with only 2 or 3 books returned. If you should encounter similar situations, you can ask customer service to make returns for you. I have never heard of customer service denying return requests when asked to do so. In this way your account won't be locked. And for non-members, they can return 2 books once every 6 months as long as the book was purchased within 365 days.
This is a bit of search I have done on Reddit to see other people have said about book returns on Audible.

A: If a returned book still shows up in the library on your Kindle device, you can permanently delete your books by heading to the page Manage your device and content, select the Content tab and then choose the book you want to delete.
Please note: Once an Audible book is removed from your library, you'll no longer have access to it. If you want to listen to it again, you need to repurchase it.
