Sometimes you'll find two or more copies of the same book listed at different prices. You're always welcome to select the copy that you like the best based on condition, price, and other details. Unfortunately, we cannot necessarily offer the same prices on a similar item for sale at Title Wave's retail store. So if you spot something here at a special low price, hurry up and click that Add button before somebody else beats you to it!

Stock levels for the books and other inventory items listed here are updated daily, but there is still a time delay between when an item goes out of stock and when that change is reflected online. For that reason we do not GUARANTEE that every item listed in our inventory will actually be available when your order is processed.

If an item you have purchased online proves to be out of stock when we process your order, you will receive a FULL AND COMPLETE REFUND within 24 hours. Refunds are processed directly to your credit card by the card issuer, and may take some time to appear on your statement.

Sorry, but we do not issue rain checks nor can we "hold the next copy that comes in" unless you sign up for our WaveAlert Booksearch which is a simple (but separate) step.

Likewise, we can't do anything about instructors who put a book on a course syllabus and then tell you on the first day of class that you won't need the book after all. Or about the gift you bought for that special someone just before they-um-"replaced" you.

For these reasons and others, product returns are strictly limited to items that were innaccurately described by Title Wave, or that were damaged in transit. On the EXTREMELY rare occasion that happens, please e-mail us and tell us the problem. We'll make it right!

It's a great system, but unfortunately it only works when you visit our store in person. Since there's no way you can cram your books into the floppy drive on your computer and send them to us over the Internet, it's not possible to spend Title Wave trade credit when you shop online. Nope, you can't even use credit when you plan to pick up the books in person.

If you would like the option of spending your Title Wave credit when you shop, please visit our store in person.
