TextbookRush Reviews Summary

The company has garnered mixed feedback regarding its reputation and customer service. Positive sentiments highlight competitive pricing, a wide selection of textbooks, and satisfactory product quality when items are received. However, significant concerns arise from prolonged order processing and shipping delays, leading to frustration among customers. Issues with order cancellations, lack of tracking information, and inadequate customer support further exacerbate dissatisfaction. Overall, while the company offers appealing prices and a user-friendly purchasing experience, it must address operational inefficiencies and communication gaps to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

Great Site. Great when the site works with my computer.

I have had a good experience any time I use this site. But when I have multiple companies open to compare buybacks... sometimes the cookies from other sites cause it hard to reach this site. Hmmm... not sure why.

Psychology Major's Handbook
October 3, 2024

I ordered a textbook for my son and needed it ASAP. I called one week in when I couldn't find tracking information and was told that it "takes time to get to the warehouse." Two weeks in, my order got cancelled because it was out of stock. Pleae don't sell me someting that I am dependent upon and lead me on to belive that it is coming, when it is, in fact not coming. Now I am weeks behind in locating a book and having it sent to me, all the while my son is having to proceed in his class without a textbook to read.

Hi Kara,
We are very sorry about the delay and cancellation with your order. This order had technical issues in our warehouse management system and after working on it for some time the Technical Team determined it could not be fixed, and had to cancel it. A refund has been issued for the canceled item. We know that this delay has put you behind on your school work, and we again apologize for this very frustrating experience.
Thank you,
Alison

Your website mentions expedited shipping but no way of choosing it. Or at least stating that it is not an option. Order canceled by company stating out of stock.

Order delayed and then cancelled

My order was cancelled with no explanation after being delayed. I needed the book for a class and was left to scramble after intentionally placing my order sufficiently early

Terrible Experience
October 1, 2024

It took 5+ business days to be informed that the textbook I purchased was not available. The product should not have been advertised on the website at all if it was unavailable, and I should not have been informed of this fact an entire week after purchasing. Will never use this platform again.

Terrible Experience
September 25, 2024

Purchased a book and waited 3 weeks. Wrote customer service twice and they wouldn't even look into the situation. Just kept telling me it will ship eventually and no cancellations. Supposedly they have different warehouse locations that they have no contact with... Then poof, cancellation email comes in. This is a terrible company, don't waste your time.
