Part 2. Audible Returns Made Easy - Things You Should Know

What Is Audible's Return Policy?

According to Audible, their exchange policy "allows active Audible Premium Plus members to take a chance on a new narrator or story without losing a credit". In any case that Audible suspects abuse of this benefit, they reserve the right to limit the number of exchanges and refunds or even the loss of this benefit.

Audible's returns policy is designed so that you feel comfortable trying a random audiobook or a different narrator. And there are a few things you need to know about returning an Audible book:

1. You can only return the book within 365 days of purchasing it.

2. You will be refunded in the same way you bought it.

3. You can return a book even if you've listened to it.

How Many Audible Books Can I Return?

There doesn't appear to be a hard number on how many returns you can make.

As an Audible member, you can return audiobooks you are not completely satisfied with and choose another, but there will be limits on how many books you can return online. This limit varies based on the number of returns you've already made, and the timing of your return.

If Amazon thinks you're abusing the returns policy, you'll be unable to return books and your account may be suspended for a certain period. Audible will then reach out and assess why.

Why Does It Say "Not Eligible for Return"?

If you see the message "Not eligible for self-service exchange", don't worry. Only a certain number of titles can be returned through the Audible site, and you have probably maxed out the number of Audible books allowed. The good news is that you can still return your book by contacting Audible for assistance, through calls, emails, or chat options.

Can I Return an Audible Book I've Listened to in Full?

Audible has not specifically addressed on this issue. But the answer is yes, you can return audiobooks that you've listened to in full. Some Audible members have requested a return successfully.

I'm Not an Audible Member, Can I Return an Audible Book?

Yes, you can. But different from the steps we introduce above, you'll need to contact the Audible customer service to return or exchange 2 titles every 6 months.
