For print books, you may return items in new condition within 30 days of the shipment date for a full refund. Authorized resellers may return books within 1 year from the date the order was shipped. Please include the original order number or packing slip. Shipping charges are non-refundable. If the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.), SPIE will issue a call tag to have the item picked up for return.
