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.

Beside the password problem and the fact that we couldn't see a tracking number. The seller was updating us with the progress of the package so the transaction was smooth. Good sale. Cheap. Good quality.

It took 3-4 business days just to pick the product. And now USPS still has no updates on the shipping information. Now I will not receive my order in time

Textbook return
December 20, 2024

Seems ok. Not sure what to expect. Just received my check. A little slow due to the holidays. I would like to see prices a little better for brand new, unused, still in the wrapper books.

Disappointed
December 10, 2024

Now I give them 1 star. The charge to my account was pending, then disappeared. It's been a month since I placed my order and still no book. Had to create an account to find out what the status of my order was. Now, I just want to cancel my order because I found it somewhere else and have actually received the book through the other place I purchased it from.

(My first impression when ordering) Ordering and checkout were easy to fill out. It was great being able to check out as a guest and not have to sign up for an account just for this one purchase.

Buy back never delivered
December 5, 2024

FedEx was unable to track the tracking number provided on the label from this company. Basically, I lost a $68 buy back and the book as well. I wish I would have read the reviews before choosing to seek back to this company. I did reach out to TextBook Rush and they basically blamed it on FedEx. I ship things quite often and never had this happen.

Acceptable
December 4, 2024

The book came quickly but it had some pages that looked like they were eaten by something, I had to rip those pages out. The book was also really sticky on the back and it has black stains on it that smelled like car oil. I will be keeping the book because I can still read the content, because the pages i had to remove was just the index. I am not
Sure I would purchase from this company again...

Library Stickers Are Not Good Condition
December 2, 2024
Updated review

One of the books I ordered was in perfect condition and arrived promptly. The other was covered in library stickers, a status that was not stated in the book's description. In my opinion this is disgustingly fraudulent and unethical behavior.

The website reloaded dozens of times before allowing me to reach the product I was looking for; the screen where I was filling in my payment info reloaded after I had already filled it in once, forcing me to fill it all in a second time; an additional 67-cent charge was added to my order that only became visible after I clicked the button to finalize the order (I can't see what it was for with this screen in the way, but I assume it was some kind of processing fee or sales tax, which is fine, but on principle I think it's unethical to conceal the full price until after the customer has committed to paying.)
