Based on users’ reviews, it appears that Chegg can be flexible about refunds and return windows under special circumstances. This is how one user described her experience with Chegg on Consumer Affairs:

“When illness and death in my immediate family forced me to take an unexpected leave of absence from my studies early in the semester, Chegg graciously accepted my return of three rental textbooks. They gave me a full refund, even though I returned these way outside the 21-day return window. I offered to pay the return shipping on the books, but they paid for that, also. I am extremely grateful for their compassion and flexibility and will use them again when I return to school in a year.”

Chegg also has service- or product-specific refund policies about:

Chegg states that you can swap your Chegg Study membership within the first 30 days after you are billed for your annual subscription. You will be automatically refunded for the amount you were charged when you signed up for your annual Chegg Study subscription. You will receive the refund back on your original method of payment within five business days.

Bought or Rented Physical Books

If you’re not satisfied with the physical book you received, or you realized that you don’t need it, refer to Chegg’s Satisfaction Guarantee Return Policy, This policy states that you simply return the book to Chegg’s third-party partner in the same condition within 21 days using their box and prepaid UPS shipping label.

Are There Any Issues With Chegg’s Refunds?

Some users reported that they kept getting charged for Chegg Study service even after cancelation.

Claudia of Huntington Beach, CA, said on Consumer Affairs that she called Chegg’s customer service team and that they would only refund her for the last few months, not the entire nine-month period her daughter had not used the service. She advised everyone who signed up for Chegg that they monitor their credit card charges from the company, and have their card issuer block Chegg after they cancel the service.

If Chegg has wronged you, you can rely on DoNotPay’s help to sue them in small claims court.
