Great prices for rentals
February 25, 2024

Saved almost $100 by renting my book instead of purchasing it through Amazon. The delivery was quick and I received my textbook faster than expected.

I am very displeased with Knetbooks. This was the first time that I have used Knetbooks.com services. I only use digital books, and the only reason I purchased the book is because new version have access codes for the digital version. The book was supposed to arrive 1/15/2024, the day before my classes started. When I inquired about where my book was on 1/19/2024, my email was never responded to. The book arrived on 1/26/2024 but with no access codes. When I asked about digital codes, I needed to wait for the chat hours to open after the weekend because last time nobody got back to me on email. This has delayed my ability to get work done significantly. Their representative was supposed to email me back from IT about my order. When I followed up through a chat (2 days after the anticipated time the representative gave me) they provided me with an email that was never sent to me. I shared with the representative a screenshot that I had not received the email on that date nor was it in my spam, but they told me their policy still stands of no access code despite never being notified about it. I am very displeased. I am stranded with no digital book before midterms.

Still have not received my book!
February 5, 2024

Very disappointed with the service that I'm getting. I cannot get no tracking information other than it was been shipped over 2 weeks ago on 1-18-2024. Cannot get anyone on the phone to get information.

Thank you for contacting customer support,

I have reviewed the order and tracking. The item has not moved in several days according to USPS tracking, therefore, I have deemed the item lost in transit with the carrier and have issued a full refund.

Thank you,
Erin

Book damaged
January 19, 2024

I've used netbooks before and didn't have problems. This book was brand new and came damaged which is frustrating for a $130 book
