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 and quick service.
September 21, 2024

I needed a text book for my business class and didn't want to spend $50 on it. Got it on here for $18 and everything looks great.

Hi Carter,
I reviewed your order and it shows it was attempted to be delivered on the 7th. The tracking states: "We were unable to deliver your package at 10:56 am on September 7,2024 in HILLSDALE, MI 49242 because the business was closed. We will redeliver on the next business day. No action needed." You placed an order with us that shipped from one of our alternate facilities. Those facilities can take 7-12 business days. Please let us know if we can do anything else to help with your order.
Thank you,
Alison

Hi Bridgett,
I reviewed your order. It looks like you placed an order that ships from a different facility. In the checkout, we state items shipping from this facility can take 7-12 business days to be delivered. We do understand this is a longer estimate, but we want to be as accurate and transparent as we can. It looks like your delivery is set for today! We wish you the best of luck with your classes.
Thank you,
Alison

Unfortunately the items shipping process is over the timeframe stated. As of today, the postal service still has not received the item. It has already been over 14 days.

Thank you! My experience was great! This disk was shattered when I received the book, but the price was so economical that I didn't mind paying for the video library on the website.

Easy and fast
September 14, 2024

Easy to find books and they are always delivered fast. And the return dates align with my school's semesters so I never have to request extra time ($) like on some other rental sites.
