The WORST company I have ever dealt with

first I sold them a stack of my books, shipped them one day and they were there the next day. I didn't receive a payment until two weeks later. I just recently sold the one more book and gave them my paypal in hopes that the payment would be quicker and yet its still been a week since payment has been "Issued". This company is very slow

They should be put out of business.

This company should be removed off Amazon's seller list. It's now a week since I ordered a book from them and I still haven't received it - totally unacceptable, especially when they were advised it was needed urgently so my granddaughter could prep for an end of term exam.

They STEAL your books!!!!!

I sent my books to this place and they pay me $20 for one and pay NOTHING for the others that they quoted me on and on top of it all, do not even return MY book to me. They "recycle" the books they do not return. This place is a JOKE!!!! I will NOT stop until I let everyone know what a bullshit operation this is!!!!

ISBNs mean nothing to these people

I bought a book from them and when I received it it was an.international version with ISBNs that did not match the listing. They made me pay a restocking fee for shipping the wrong item.

Customer service is atrocious it usually took them 48-72 hours to get back to me. Don't ever use these guys. They should be shut down.

This place is awful

Bought a game from them. They canceled my order. I went out and bought it somewhere else. Then they shipped me a copy after all. Then they were all pissed off when I told them I didnt want the game. I said I'd ship it back on their dime but they wanted me to pay. Total BS.

The book that dies and comes alive!

I ordered a few books from here last week. I pay 30 dollars extra to get one the next day and just 4 bucks to get the other one whenever. I never got the book that pay so much to ship and I got the other one Friday. I emailed them, didn't get a reply back until today! They tell me that they have cancelled my order. So, I go to another website and order the same book (for less and faster might I add). I get on my email 5 or so hours later... AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE SHIPPED MY BOOK?! So now I have paid almost 140 bucks for the same book because these people cannot be honest... I expect to send my book back and demand my money back! And what's with not having a phone number? Sketchy. I will never order from this site again! Remember, people are more like to tell 8 people bad things about a place rather than 8 good things.

Never using this site again

Most textbook rental sites will accept a textbook if it is shipped by the due date, this company will not and now they are charging me $150 when I only paid $23.50 for it. That is absolutely ridiculous. They didn't even notify me about this policy. I will not be rental textbooks from them again.

Bad Customer Service and Illegal Copies of Books sold!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL OPERATIONS!!!
No wonder they can offer cheap prices!
I ordered a book thinking that I would get something I could use. Turns out they are part of some shady illegal operations and are distributing books that are not to be sold in the United States, reading the information page inside the front cover it says "FOR SALE IN ASIA ONLY" and "If you have purchased this book within the United States and Canada, you should be aware that it has been wrongfully imported without the approval of the publisher of the author." I also got a reply form the company stating "
Hello,

It is legal for international editions to be bought and sold in the US. Also once the item has been delivered to us your refund will be processed.

Thanks
JeremyI "
I have been playing email tag with the company all morning stating that I want the legal version of what I ordered because the page numbers are all off from what is being referenced in my online class (so I can't even compare to see if this is usable) is not matching the book. If this company is going to do international business, then they need to learn how to inspect shipments upon delivery and shipment to customers. This behavior is completely unacceptable!

Canceled order and no refund until I contacted them a week later!

I ordered a book last week, paid for the extra shipping to get it over night, etc. Only to find out the next day that the order had been canceled, with the reason that it was out of stock. Why was the book on there to begin with? I checked and sure enough the book was still listed but the price was now higher. I took my business elsewhere to purchase my book. That being said, they said the were going to offer my a refund. I noticed today that no refund was present on my account or on my card so I had to email them. It wasn't until I emailed them that they even processed the refund! If you're going to cancel an order then why didn't you refund it from the beginning? Oh and when I emailed them about the dissatisfaction with their service I basically got the reply of Sorry, there isn't much we can do. How about updating your inventory? That might help. Now, don't get me wrong, I've bought from them before and had no problem. But after this, I will never buy from them again.

FRAUDS

Horrible, horrible experience. My book never came. I paid for the fasting shipping available. After a fleet of emails, I never heard back from textbooksrus. There is not contact phone number on the website. I'm out $65 dollars and I still have to order another book otherwise I'll be even further behind in class. Trying to save a little money has cost me way more. I feel robbed.

A little confused

I'm confused and a little sad that so many people had problems with these guys. I was very impressed. Buying from the bookstore on my campus would've cost about $300 but it was only $60 here. The shipping was a little delayed but that wasn't a big deal.

Not Impressed

I was not impressed with Textbooksrus because they only allow you to extend your rental ONE time.

They did not give me enough time with my rental and it was due during finals. I wasn't aware that you could only extend one time because I've extended multiple times from other better companies.

I ended up having to buy my rental which was very expensive...just because I needed it an extra week.

Very sad because I do not have the money for it and I definitely do not need it after this week.

I'm sure the extending policy was in the fine print, but I didn't think it was an issue because I don't have these problems with other companies.

Rip off artists

I received my books unacceptably late, received two books that were not mine, received one out of two incorrect books ordered by me, upon returning 3 of 4 books they refuse to refund me claiming they didn't receive the book I returned and only the books I did not order but returned.

A Disenchanting Experience

Textbookrus.com offers competitive prices for textbooks but does not offer great customer service. They are clearly in it for profit.
I'm only giving them 2 stars because:
1. I was never responded to after contacting them about an issue with my order;
2. They overcharged me (they refunded me eventually but it was ANNOYING);
3. Their "free shipping" is USPS Media Mail, which is as slow as a snail;
4. Their "free shipping" cannot be tracked, so you have no idea when to expect your order.

ONLY order from them if you have patience and extra time to deal with their mishaps.

Liars, misleading, and rude

I ordered an accounting book for a class from this company. I called and was told an international edition would be sent, but it was the same as the US edition. I got my book. It was in great shape, I must admit. There was a sticker on the book that said, among other things, "The content is identical to the U. S. Edition." Imagine my surprise when the problems I was assigned from my class were totally different. I called, and the very rude customer service person told me, "I don't know what your problem is, you're still learning accounting." When I said the website, customer service, and a sticker on the book itself said it was IDENTICAL, she told me, "Well, the problems may be different and stuff, but you're still learning accounting." When I asked her if she understood what identical meant, she got very defensive and offered me a refund if and when I return the book, but I now have homework due in 3 days and no book to do it with. DON'T BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!!

bad business practices

ordered a textbook for school, but it never came. asked them about it several times and they said they'd locate another copy for me. waited another 6 months

finally i got fed up and asked for my money back. all of a sudden they stopped responding to my emails. still haven't gotten my money back. i've essentially paid for a text book i never got

i've resorted to filing a complaint to get my money back

Never again

1. I NEVER received an e-mail confirmation of when it was shipped or even if it was ordered. I believe I ordered it on the 26th.

2. I paid $22 to have it shipped Federal Express 3 day. The packing label states it was picked up on August 27th by Federal Express. I expected it to arrive within 3 business days, Tuesday September 2nd at the latest. 28th overnight, 29th is 2 days, the 9/2nd is 3 business days. It just arrived today the September 3rd at 1:30 PM.
3. I ordered it Fed Express 3 day because my daughters class was this morning the 3rd at 9:30 AM. If it wasn't going to be here Tuesday I wouldn't have ordered it. It is clearly stated that Federal Express 3 day is one of your highest level of shipping. its also on the lFed Exp label.

4. Since I didn't receive an e-mail from you (textbooksrus) confirming the order or the shipment I assumed it wouldn't be here on time or you somehow lost the order. So I had my daughter purchase a more expensive book from the school last evening at 4:30 pm so she would be properly prepared for her next morning class.
5. What's strange is I know you know my e-mail address because you spam me all the time with advertisements,

6. Call your own customer service number once, what a mess that is!!!!! You can't get through. You can't even leave a voice mail because the mailbox is full.
