They SUCK

by emmyjune, Aug 22 '08
I placed an order on August 12, 2008. My credit card was charged on August 15, 2008 for the full amount of my order (three books totaling $348.00). Here it is August 22, 2008, and I STILL have not received my books. I've called, e-mailed, and done the ...

TextbookX - Or where to buy cheap textbooks.

by shoplmart, Oct 29 '05
When I returned to college a couple of years ago, I couldn't fathom how some book companies could get away with selling a mere 300 page paperback textbook for upwards of 150 bucks; hallway robbery! I have found that most online stores do offer ...

Great used textbook store

by sjasonsmith, Sep 11 '04
TextbookX was my first experience purchasing used textbooks online. I was very pleased with the site and would not hesitate to purchase from them again. SITE I found the site to be very easy to navigate and use. I was searching for my book by ...

It's Time to go Back to School!

by Bryan_Carey, Sep 30 '02
Purchasing college textbooks is a pain and a financial debacle for many students. Prices for textbooks are much higher than for other types of books, forcing students to either seek out better deals on new books, or buy books that have been previously...

by bornain, Apr 15 '02
I love books. I can’t even begin to describe the thrill I simply enjoy every time I return to my home from the bookstore with a new “baby” waiting to be welcomed to life. This feeling starts to emerge from the very first time I lay my eyes over any of...

Customer Disservice
by tennisglen,Feb 09 '08
I ordered a hardcopy of a book and received an audiobook instead. I was told that I would have to pay a restocking charge. I was unable to resolve this matter with their "chat session". I was not at fault for this order mixup and see no reason for a restocking charge. Having to pay $4-$5 for packaging and postage to return the audiobook, this is just adding insult to injury.

NEVER ORDER FROM TEXTBOOKX.COM. YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS
by mercedezshante,Sep 12 '07
I thought I would save some money by ordering from them. The book took almost a full month in getting to me. It was advertised with the CD for the book. The CD was not in the book. I sent an email with my complaint. I was never contacted. Finally I was able to use the online chat and the service was horrible. TRUST ME. GO TO SOMEPLACE MORE REPUTABLE. YOU MAY PAY A COUPLE OF DOLLARS MORE, BUT IT WILL BE WELL WORTH IT. I AM CONTACTING THE BBB TO REPORT MY EXPERIENCE. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD IN NO WAY BE DOING BUSINESS.

Very slow to pay
by texas_student,Mar 24 '07
TextbookX.com is a terrible place to sell your books. They do not pay by check and delay paying you with either store credit or a credit to a charge card as long as possible. I sold $140 worth the books through them in early January 2007 and still have not gotten a credit to my credit card, even though they promised to do so immediately over the last 6 weeks on multiple occasions by telephone and email.

Avoid them like the plague that they are.

Horrible experience will not do business with again!
by student12,Jan 19 '07
Horrible experience!!!! I sold a book using their site, it was purchased instantly and I mailed the following day. More than 2 months later I have still not been paid, and have gotten the run around from foreign sounding customer service reps on three separate calls. If payment is not made within 5 days I am contacting authorities.

Do NOT waste your time and money in TextbookX.com!
by baulingfu,Jun 23 '06
Do NOT buy any textbook in TextbookX.com!
========================================
Order Date: 05/22/2006
Expected Date: before 06/01/2006
Ask Refund: 06/02/2006
Send Date: 06/16/2006
Receive Date: 06/19/2006
========================================
They charged me very fast but I got nothing and no contact. When you asked the reason for delay, each time they always wrote back ONE sentence which was meaningless. Although I asked for refund and they said OK, they still sent it out after 14 days. I asked my credit card company stop this payment, and they are investigating this case. Do NOT waste your time and money in TextbookX.com!

POOR, overcharged for book!
by jenry2803,May 12 '06
The individual who sent me the book was of great service and sent in a timely manner. However, I am extremely displeased with the customer service of TextbookX and the way my order has been handled. I have had to call customer service multiple times, they tell me they will fix the amount I was charged and have yet to see my money back. Beware of being charged extra, check your order statement and bill.

Being in the Military oversea but served by US Mail, it suprises me how some things I've ordered come in just a couple of days and other things take just a little while longer. Then there is the occasional item like this book that took quite awhile to receive. Happy with the merchant though and will order again, probably in about three months.

Easy to order from. Although I was a little worried due to how some of the books were listed.. different isbn's but same titles. But I didn't get any doubles. My shipment was split and sent in four pieces. Everything made it too me in great condition! Prices were awesome also! Thanks!

The prices are cheaper than others. It's good to provide tracking orders via website at anytime. However, I have to wait for a couple of week for the books arrive. Moreover, I ordered only new textbooks and I expected to receive them in perfect condition but I'm quite disappointed. My books'covers are a bit damage maybe from the shipping process. Above all, I'm ok with my books and I shall purchase other products from textbookx.com (If the price is lower than any others)
