How do I return my books?

Collegebookrenter.com makes returning your book rentals easy and free. Just make sure to ship your rental back to CBR through UPS. If you use another carrier & their container (such as a USPS priority shipping box) you will be charged the entire return shipping cost. Any books returned to a 3rd party sender and not collegebookrenter.com will be subject to additional fees.

Log into your CBR Account

You will find your current college book rental(s) on the Rentals & Purchases tab in My Account. Simply select the item(s) you want to return and click Return Books to begin the process.

Print labels and packing slip

Print the shipping label for your return package from My Account and tape it securely to the package. Be sure to include a copy of your packing slip inside the package with the textbook(s) you are returning.

Drop the books off at any UPS location.

Simply take your box to any UPS location or schedule a pickup to return your book rental to CBR. Just remember: brown can save you green.
