Bookstore Policies

The Bookstore makes every attempt to correctly describe and price all products offered for sale on this site. Should a pricing error occur on an item you order, you will be notified of the price change before your order is completed. The Bookstore will not honor pricing errors. Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.

Your on-line order is considered an offer to purchase and acceptance of the order does not take place until your credit card has been charged and the order has shipped.

The Return Policy applies to both on-line and in-store purchases. The same time lines apply to on-line purchases as to in-store purchases.

Items purchased on-line may be returned in person to the Bookstore following the same conditions as outlined below OR you may ship the item purchased on-line back to the bookstore at your expense. You must request permission before shipping the item back to the bookstore. Direct your request for return to: bookstore@shoreline.edu. Unauthorized returns will be refused and returned to the sender at their expense.
