Chegg.com
I should have mentioned this earlier for all the college students that visit here, but it completely slipped my mind. A coworker of mine alerted me to this very fine site, Chegg, where you can rent your textbooks. Not only is it very cheap — I bought mine for more than 50% off — but it’s green, too! By buying less books you’ll be saving trees; and for every book that’s rented, Chegg plants a tree.
While Chegg may seem awesome, they have horrible customer service, extremely ridiculous shipping times, and their books are in bad condition.
Good luck trying to get in touch with them by phone or email if you ever have any problems. And good luck in getting your books within 2 weeks of your order being placed.
Stay away from Chegg until they improve their customer service and shipping.
My book came in less than a week — and it was brand new. And the coworker who told me about about them has used them for a few semesters now for her and her daughter and had very good results.
I don’t know, I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with them so far. I won’t be using them again. It’s way to hard to get ahold of “customer service” and their shipping is ridiculous (at least to me).
Plus, they’ve been lying to me over the phone as to the status of shipments and my books. I cannot stand when a company lies to me.
Well, I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such horrible experiences. But so far I’ve had nothing but a great experience with them and everyone else I’ve talked with about them has had an equally good history. :(
