Books should be returned to our shipping address, PO Box 1122, Mansfield, MA 02048.
  5. To qualify for a refund, books must arrive at CRP in good, resalable condition. If they are not resalable, please do not bother to return them. If you are not willing to package them properly for the return trip, please don’t waste your time and postage.
