CollegeXpres

These guys are running some sort of illegal printing ring for textbooks to students. TextbookXpres has very identical shady business practices to this website based on these reviews.

No tracking numbers or shipping confirmations, fake refund policy, illiterate emails as the only contact, books scanned/printed illegally in foreign countries.

Moral of the story is, do your research on the seller if you find a good book price so you can make sure you won't get cheated.

Within one day of purchasing my book, my account was charged. I have been waiting since LAST MONTH for my book. The only way to contact this company is by messaging them on their website. They claim to respond to your message within 24 hours or "as soon as possible", however this is a complete lie. I've sent multiple messages within the past two weeks and I have gotten 0 replies. Not having my book is frustrating because by next week I am going to be tested on material that is in the book that I have yet to receive. CollegeXpres is a joke.

I bought a book from them, but these people turned out to be double liars. First of all, they say that "The international edition has the same text as North American (or any other)." This is plain lie number one. They are different and it is stated right on the book when you receive it. These liars don't care. And second, they say that "Almost all books come with original access codes, etc., only in rare cases the book is missing the original CD". However, the book I bought didn't come with access codes it's supposed to have. And they are telling me "we never said that it comes with codes". So most likely, this was wasted money. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! STAY AWAY! Remember, if something's cheap, it's always for a reason!

Absolutely horrific. I ignored reviews which was a huge mistake. It has been 2.5 weeks and my book has yet to arrive. It has said "shipped" for two of those weeks. They mention they send shipping confirmation and tracking, that is a lie. The response i got from customer service was "Hi we have mailed it usps last week. Can you check again and wait to see if you get it by end of this week" which was a week ago, and i asked for the tracking information and three days later the response was "It was shipped package service. Wait let me get the usps receipts" and then no response. Horrific service.

I ordered a Soil Science book from this website before doing any research because the price was so good. I looked up reviews after the fact and about had a heart attack. However, I received the book I ordered in about a week, it was in excellent condition, and it makes no difference to me that it's the international version (and they informed me that it was going to be the international version before I purchased it, you just gotta read the website). All in all, I am pleased with the service I received and may consider purchasing through this company again.

Don't let the lowball prices fool you! I ordered an in-stock textbook after seeing that the company would send the purchase between 3 to 5 business days. The website also stated that an email would be sent with the tracking number. After a week, I received a poorly worded email complete with typos and misspellings telling me that my purchase was out of stock. There is no customer service number; only an email address where they state they hope to reply within 24 hours... amateurs. Spend the few extra dollars with a reputable company and avoid the hassle of trying to do business with collegexpres.com.

I ordered a specific book and was shipped a different edition. I contacted the company via email and was told they didn't have what I ordered so they just shipped the next edition automatically. I could not use the edition I received so I wanted to return it. It took me 2 months of back and forth emails to get the return information. I paid the return shipping and then they charged me $20 re-stocking fee! A re-stocking fee for a book I did not order, shipped to me in error! The customer service response e-mails were completely rude and even though I demanded a full refund, they kept the $20 and stopped responding to me. I hate this company and I'm telling every student I know NEVER to use them. I'm going to write as many public reviews as I can! It is FRAUD to ship a different book than ordered and then charge for the return. Worst experience ever!

I ordered 2 college textbooks from this company and had no problems. I knew I was getting the international version(stated clearly on the website). The international version is exactly like the US version except the cover is not a hardback and the picture is different. Page by page the exact same. I saved over $250. If you read the website before you buy you will not be surprised when the book is delivered. My books came within a week of ordering. The reason I did not give the site 5 stars is because you cannot contact them directly. All in all I was quite happy with my purchase.

HORRIBLE. I placed an order for a college neuropsych book for my daughter, provided my cc info and recd confirmation of purchase. 4 days later, I receive an email stating they have cancelled my order. My daughter was desperate for that book and had already had one class without it. I thought this was a "good" website, trying to help people with lower cost books, but now I think its a scam. The price for the book was wonderful, but apparently the people behind it are inconsiderate, unconscionable crooks.

We ordered from CollegeXpress. They did send the book. However, it was the wrong book and we needed to return it which they only allow within 5 days. We made the return request on the 4th day which was a Saturday. The 5th day was Sunday so maybe they're closed and we understand that. However, it's now close to the end of Monday and still no response and the only way to make a return is to get a response from them. I'm concerned.

Ordered my sons chemistry book and they sent me the international version with a completely different ISBN so I called the textbook distributer and they told me that it is illegal to sell the international copy in the states. I decided to take it up with Visa... these guys are clearly crooks... Visa told me they are a big red flag as the transaction shows up in Hong Kong... STAY AWAY... DO NOT ORDER. The site looks totally legate, I never thought to check reviews... fool I was!

Fraudulant Company! I ordered one book and they sent me a completely different one. I contacted them through their confirmation email that they sent me (since there is no contact information on their website). They asked me to return the book. I sent it to the address that they provided and the book came back with the comment from USPS that they moved. Not only did I get taken for the book price I also got taken for postage to send it back to them. I have recently notified them that they provided the wrong address and have not responded. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!
