It took a while to create an account. I was able to apply my student discount and I wish I would've received the textbook sooner
I had a difficult time just creating an account.

Thank you for shopping at eCampus!
My only critique is that I was taken from the McGraw Hill site to rent the textbooks from Ecampus. My preference would have been to use one site from start to finish.
Thank you for your feedback! The title you ordered is part of an exclusive publisher rental program. The title is only available through eCampus at this time.
Overall, ordering my textbooks was a smooth process. I do wish that I did not have to navigate back to the mcgraw hill site to find the hardcover version of the textbooks I ordered.
I've been using ecampus for years and haven't had a bad experience thus far. Their marketplace vendors are also honest, making it an even smoother experience!
I originally tried to purchase this through Abe books and the package got lost. Thankfully, this was way cheaper to rent through ecampus and I received it super quick so I could get my weekly assignments done.
Super quick and everything was explained quickly and in depth.
It went alright with the e-book I rented, but for the anthropology one, I had to wait more than 3-5 business days, as the website said, for it to arrive, but it did eventually.

Ecampus was easy to use and order from, though the physical copy price to buy the book is insane, the rental edition I ordered was the only physical copy I could find of the book I needed.
I plan to return my order as they sent me an updated version of the books I ordered. If I'd wanted an updated version then I would have ordered it that way. Also took them much longer to get my order together than what I was told. At no point was I informed that they were sending different books than I ordered. So disappointing
Been ordering book from here for years and have never been disappointed all books including online are always affordable and in good condition
This service was easy to use and I got my book relatively quickly. The book was in almost perfect condition even though it was used.
This is the 3rd time placing the order for the same book! I'm not sure why the first order never shipped, I was never notified. Last order was canceled and I was notified. Extremely frustrating that this is taking so long as my son needs this book for an exam that he has next week. I should not have to pay for expedited shipping as this order was started February 1st! I was also charged a dollar for the last order not going through. Horrible!
I placed an order on 2/1/26. I never received any communication other than the initial confirmation on my order, so I assumed things were moving along. I logged into my account today to see when the book would deliver as it should be arriving now. I saw that the book never shipped. I'm very upset that I was not notified about this change via email. Why did the book not ship initially? 12 days went by. Now my son has an exam in his class and he needs the book. I had to pay for expedited shipping and I don't know if he will receive it in time. I'm also not happy that there is no phone number listed on the order confirmation or the website to call for help. Just a chat that is automated to not really answer questions or capable of making decisions.
Cancelling a rental is quite difficult you have to wait until it arrives even to return it even if you dont need it, makes it a hassle
Orders can be canceled through your MyAccount for a full refund before the item ships. Thank you for shopping at eCampus!
When I accidentally purchased the wrong book, eCampus was amazing at swapping it out for the correct one and compensating me for the mistake. I recommended them to my friend group, since we're all taking the same Anatomy and Physiology Course together, and we've all had exceptional experiences at the best prices available!
Thank you to everyone at eCampus! You make a big difference in students' lives — I promise! 💪🏻💯📄
I was helping my daughter find her books for her Master's program she was starting and many of the books were sold out. It was even difficult to find used or books to rent. ECampus came through.
Easy process and good rental rate, this book was hard to find so we are pleased
Submitted an order for The Science of Criminalistics, An Introduction to Forensic Science three weeks ago in January. I haven't gotten any updates until the second week of February, and it's just now being possibly shipped out.
I rented a texbook and was charged full price for the book even though I mailed it in almost a week before the due date. They refused to refund the full amount because they need to have book before the due date regardless of whe you mail it. The shipping label they provide is of low priority so it will take time for them to receive the book. They probably do this so they can charge people full price, shady!

Very cool. This forced review is making me not enjoy it though I also will have a full review after I have returned the book this is my first time doing this whole process
Thank you for shopping at eCampus!
The site was easy to navigate. They had my required text book for my class and it was cheaper than my college bookstore. The book actually arrived a day earlier than projected. Thanks!
I couldn't find the book I needed for class anywhere except on ecampus.com I'm so pleased to be able to get this book before my class starts. Thank you!
Answer: You can write or highlight in book as long as it less than 1/3 of the page/book.
Answer: Unfortunately, the ebook version of this bundle does not include the access code. Access codes are one-time use only, and are only provided with New versions.
Answer: Ecampus.com does not honor their payout times. I've been waiting 8 weeks now and still have not received payment. They also do not honor the method of payment you choose. I chose direct deposit to ensure fast delivery of the payment. They instead have decided to mail me a check, which I still have not received. Do not sell your used textbooks to ecampus.com if you actually want to receive reimbursement for them.
