Textbooks.com Review

When it comes to buying and selling college textbooks, students will find that Textbooks.com offers some of the best deals going. A Textbooks.com review on Starreviews.com says prices on a random assortment of books are lower at this cheap textbooks onsite vendor than at most of its competitors, while buy-back prices are about in the mid-range. The Textbooks.com review also gives a nod to the site's customer service, noting that phone calls are answered without undue delay and email queries get fast responses. Although Textbook.com reviews on Epinions are overwhelmingly positive, especially in regard to the cheap prices, users' assessments of customer service are mixed: some talk up the quick shipping and responsive customer representatives, while others report refusal to credit accounts for books that never arrived, squabbles over the condition of a book upon return, disagreement over whether a book was returned, and the like.

Chances are you'll find the book you need given the advertised 7 million-strong inventory, but sometimes you'll have to settle for a new copy because a cheaper used copy is sold out. Of course, you could also choose to rent, and that price is way less than buying new. You get free shipping on orders greater than $25, and there's a 30-day refund period if you drop a class (shipping costs are not refundable). The site was redesigned recently, and a student posting a Textbooks.com review on ReviewStream.com says the new layout is a big improvement over the old one. Just type in title, author, ISBN, or keyword and three prices show up -- used, new, and rent -- so you can easily choose the best deal. You can track your order online and refer to a help section with FAQs and information on policies and practices.

Despite some negative experiences as reported in Textbooks.com reviews, many customers seem satisfied. The cheap prices and huge selection of books are the chief attractions.
