TextbookX.com

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 ...

Textbookx.com is a subsidiary of Akademos.com dedicated to buying and selling textbooks. I've been out of graduate school for over five years and have changed careers. I found Textbookx when I was looking for a place to sell some of the many Sociology...

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...

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 ...

Fast shipping, but they said to me, "You will receive an additional email from us containing a track ...

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...

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 ...

Great online book store. Excelent customer support. I placed and order only before a week ahead of my exam. I was woried. I called up customer serviec and they assured that I will get the book soon. Same thing happened. I am happy. I told the friends about it. Next time if I want to by books, I will vist textbookx.com.

Been using textbookx.com for 2 years now and absolutely love it. The prices, delivery and customer service have always been better than any others I have tried. I had one mix up last year on an order which was my fault and they made good on it immediately. When I find a good thing, I stick with it and never have regrets. Their exchange marketplace is fabulous technology and gets me the best prices when I’m buying or selling my used books. Most of my friends use them to purchase new and used textbooks and I haven’t heard of one problem.

Textbookx is a good all-around site w/ pretty cheap prices. They have a lot of used books available, which can really save you money. The prices on Half are cheaper, but its more of a hassle and you don't know what kind of a person you're buying from. But on Textbookx they stock the used books themselves. The used books I bought were in great condition, basically looked new. They also give out scholarships every year.

I haven't had to use their customer service, since my orders didn't have any problems, which is a good thing.

Textbookx is the best deal with the worst service. It's easy to post textbooks for buying and selling but hard to actually sell them .The site isn't well known. Amazon gets a lot more traffic and bigwords, has more selection. I would recommend textbookx for beginners but once you master selling and buying books on-line, move on. Don't bother sending e-mails to customer service, long pointless process, your best bet is taking your chances and calling customer service. Make sure you check what edition of the book you getting some deals are to good to be true.

This site works well and is easy to navigate. Prices seem good but selection is limited. You can search for books one at a time for you can key in a list. Shipping is also reasonable. My biggest concern is they don't seem to have a lot of books in stock and rely instead on sales through individuals on their marketplace.

I ordered a book wanting a specific paperback version. TextbookX showed a picture of the paperback cover that I wanted but when I received the actual product, the book had a different cover from what was advertised on their website. I emailed text support asking for a full refund including my shipping charges and received an email from them agreeing to my request. It has been a month and I haven't gotten a full refund. Instead, I got a partial refund that doesn't even cover the book price, let alone the shipping charges. They never respond to emails and simply ignore my requests for a refund. I should be charging them interest! I will never shop there again. They offer very poor customer service.

I placed an order a week before school. THe next day i realize it was the wrong book. I called their customer service and asked the order to be cancelled. The rep said that it cannot be cancelled because the book has been shipped. I waited THREE weeks before the book came. TWO weeks into the school year. According to the postage, the book was sent a week later than when I called. So I am guessing the rep lied so they wouldn't have to cancel the order. Now I have a $70 book that no one is buying.

I made an order for two textbooks for the upcoming semester. After making the order, I got an email thanking me for creating a new account (which I had not created), but I got no no information about the order that I had made. I tried emailing support (via the form on their site) but got no reply. The following day I tried calling Textbookx's phone number multiple times, getting a busy signal every time. The following day, I tried calling the contact number for the parent company (Akademos), and was able to get through. There, I was told that my order number didn't exist. I then promptly went elsewhere to find my books and they arrived in the time that it took me to find out that Textbookx had lost my order.

Nice advertised prices, but good luck getting the books you want. This may be one of those cases where you get what you pay for.
