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.

First of all, this is my first time using Textbookrush and their marketplace listings and all that. To say I was anxious is an understatement! Not being able to see the books offered made me uneasy about using the site, and emailing sellers to get confirmation only to be told they didn't know made things even worse.that was, until I found Alibris Marketplace. The specific book I was looking for has tons of different copies and different cover art, and to find the one I was looking for was proving super difficult. Until! I saw Alibris had several listings for the book, and emailed them to ask which copy one specific listing was(thinking I'd get the same "I can't check our warehouse idk" answer as always)! But the next day, I had confirmation that it was exactly what I was looking for! The second that happened I bought it- at an amazing price for the book and shipping btw- and it got here quickly! I can't thank Alibris Market and Textbookrush enough for helping me get a book I've been agonizing over. Seriously, if I could I'd give Alibris Marketplace 100 stars I would!

Easy, straightforward experience
February 20, 2024

I was quoted for a textbook, then I packaged it well and sent it off. I got emails when the book was received, checked in, and then when they submitted the PayPal payment to me for the price I was quoted for. I would absolutely do this again.

Textbookrush had the best prices for the books I sold. Good communication regarding receipt of books and when sale would be processed. I haven't received the check yet but it has been processed.

Slow Delivery
February 20, 2024

I ordered the textbook earlier at the end of January into the beginning of February and it still hasn't arrived. It's been in limbo for a few days and it hasn't moved. I checked and it is still pending.

Fast turnaround
February 11, 2024

I found this site offers much better buy back prices than the campus bookstore. Get your price on Sunday night and mail out Monday with their prepaid shipping label. Email communication is good, they emailed me by Thursday that they received book. I had a check by the following week.

Super easy to sell textbooks
February 10, 2024

My experience was super easy. All I had to do was input the ISBN and they gave me a quote for the book, and I had to package and ship it. It was effortless.

I have dealt with these book exchange companies before. This one is by far the best! Good prices, great response time, and I got my books paid for within two days of sending them which is what I needed. Thanks textbookrush!

Ghost inventory
February 16, 2024

I placed several orders that were canceled a week later because of lack of inventory. Meanwhile my semester has started and I'm still without a book. They placed holds on my credit card that last for days past cancellation, holding up cash that I could have used. Lost all my future business.
