I'm renting books and although it took a little longer than a week, I think it's worth the price.

Do not pay for expedited shipping!
September 16, 2023

I paid $10 for expedited shipping (1-2 days). I ordered on a Saturday, so I figured I would give the benefit of the doubt and expect the book by Wednesday at the latest. I didn't receive the book until Friday which is the latest date I should have received the book with free shipping.

Very difficult
October 15, 2023

Very frustrating and difficult to get my order to go through, kept saying there was a discrepancy with my billing info. When there wasn't. My order was canceled on me and there is no way to speak to a live person to get assistance.

Do not order from this site if you actually want your books! I ordered 5 books in my order. 2 books are supposedly on their way, 2 books are still being processed (in limbo never shipped), and one book they said they had in stock they told me they had to cancel because they didn't have it (supposedly refunded, I have to check my cc)

Now 16 days later I still have no books even though their website says 4-8 business days. I chatted with them they told me the 2 books in transit should arrive the day I spoke with them, however they never came. Then I chatted with them again and they said I have to wait 4 more days to see if they might come maybe?!?! They were unsure. They could not tell me about 2 in processing either, so I cancelled them.
I asked for a refund on the ones in transit so I could buy elsewhere so my son wouldn't be without his books another day. They refused to send me a refund until I waited another 4 days to make sure the books in transit really don't arrive. What? Now I'm out $$$ with no books and have to put out more money for replacement books. Not to mention, they gave me a coupon code to use that never worked. Very unhappy with this whole experience

Never received the book - "Priceless Memories"
October 15, 2023
Updated review

This site is very easy to use. They say they have the book in stock, so I will really be happy if I actually receive it.
They said they would notify me when the book was shipped, which they did not. I had to contact them to find out if the book was coming. They admitted they never had it in stock, even though they were still advertising it. Then when the refund finally came, it was a dollar less than I had paid. Since this wasn't a restocking fee and I'm not the one who caused the problem, why was a dollar deducted from my refund. Very dissatisfied! I do not recommend them even though their website is easy to navigate.

Worst Experience Ever
October 14, 2023

Customer service does not help at all and there is no other way to communicate except through email. Books do not come when they are promised and there is no communication at all in regards to the status of your order. I won't recommend this place for buying textbooks to anyone.

Needed books and Knetbooks provided!
September 14, 2023

Very convenient ordering process, lots of options for the books you need! Saved me so much money on a particular book, really appreciate the service. Shipping was quite slow even with the $10 2-3 day shipping, but it was worth it since it got to my house in time for the next class!
