Inspection copies

Can I request any title?

In Australia, only textbooks are available on inspection. Please contact academicmarketing@cambridge.edu.au for information on availability of such titles.

Inspection copy guidelines:

Inspection copy requests must be made through the Academic Marketing Department either via email on academicmarketing@cambridge.edu.au or by phone on 61 (0) 3 8671 1407.

Cambridge pays freight on delivery of all inspection copies made to the customer.

Customers may inspect the goods free for 30 days from the date of the invoice. At the end of the 30-day inspection period, customers may:

(a) BUY THE INSPECTION COPY — by keeping the inspection copy and sending a copy of the remittance advice (quoting reference number) and payment to Cambridge. A 20% discount applies for any purchases of the inspection copy. Payment must be in Australian dollars and can be made either by cheque, money order, Bankcard, MasterCard or Visa. If paying by credit card, card number, expiry date, cardholder’s name, signature and telephone number must be provided.

(b) ORDER FURTHER COPIES — If 10 or more copies are ordered or if the text is adopted (not just recommended), the customer may keep the inspection copy free of charge.

(c) RETURN THE INSPECTION COPY — by returning the original invoice and inspection copy to Cambridge’s Warehouse Returns Department within 120 days from the original invoice date. Return freight is at the customer’s expense. The returned copy must be in ‘mint’ condition, or it will be returned to the customer at the customer’s expense.
Monthly correspondence will be sent to the Customer for any outstanding invoice.

Where books are not returned within 120 days from the original invoice date, a new invoice will be raised on the customer’s account. Normal trading terms will then apply.
