Amazon failed me and I was in a tight spot. My book came super quickly and for a comparable price!
Very fast shipping, and excellent customer service
Easy to use site. Great surplus. Easy tracking of shipment. Perfect conditions for a rented book.
I received my book in time before the start of my class.
Very easy and cheap. I love this site because it has all of my books available.
The book I'm renting costs around $60 to $80 or even more when purchased new. This site allowed me to rent it for a few weeks for only $13! I received it in about a week, and I'm so glad I didn't have to buy it new.
I paid 10 dollars for expedited shipping and it still took 4-5 days to get here. I feel like I wasted 10 bucks.
Thank you! -Knetbooks
This is a terrible rental company for books. Don't rent with them! I rented a new textbook and returned it in great condition and they still charged me almost $300 for the textbook. I did not damage it and customer service was unhelpful. It took a few weeks for them to receive the return after I returned it and it was damaged during the return. As a struggling student you should not be responsible for damages sustained during transit that you did not commit. They have a policy where you have to report any damage within 30 days after you receive the book, but this is impossible to do if the damage the book sustained happens AFTER you send it to back to the company.
To make matters worse, Knetbooks still charges you another fee to send the book back to you if you want to keep it. Cannot stress this enough, take your money elsewhere! They don't have a customer service phone line either.
The book was sold out in a lot of places, book stores and such as well as several places online. I was able to get it from Knetbooks with no problems.
The website is very easy to navigate through. My book arrived on time! Cost effective!

It was very easy to find what I wanted and reasonable prices.
Answer: Infinity, because you will never receive it. And if you do receive it, it comes damaged and then when you try to return your rental that try saying the original damage is your fault and charge you a ridiculous price for a small damage that had already come with it. Or sometimes several pages are missing.
Answer: Hi Tatum, We do allow some highlighting in our rentals but we ask that you dont highlight excessively. If you return the rental back to us with over one-third of the text highlighted, we may have to mark the book as damaged. Highlighting can be distracting for future renters and we may not be able to add an overly-highlighted book back into our inventory. Consider using page flags to mark an important sentence. Flags can help you easily get back to the page you need. Page flags are also small enough that they can be used multiple times on the same page. Plus, they are really easy to remove from the textbook before you send it back at the end of the semester. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!
