This is the least expensive place to find quality textbooks that I need for my University education.
KNETBOOKS ARE A RIP-OFF! I purchased 2 books to have for the start of my semester about 2wks before classes start. They CLAIMED that both books were in stock but after 4-5days only shipped 1 book. I called to see when my other book would be shipped and they told me in was out of stock and that they had to order it from AMAZON. What? I could've ordered from Amazon myself. So, I asked when will they ship the book and they told me "we don't know and don't have a time frame". I asked for a partial refund since they didn't even ship the book out yet (and don't even have it in their possession) and they told me no and said I can return for a refund once I get the book (which who knows when that will be). Not to mention they take 10% of your refund when you return a book (which is $10 for a $36 rental). STAY AWAY FROM KNETBOOKS! THEY ARE CROOKS! And I will be writing a bad review on EVERY site I found them on! Soon as I get the book they did send I'll be sending that right back to their crooked shady selves!
Good price and quality, delivered in time. No complaints.
My textbook arrived within several days of ordering and the rental is much cheaper than my college book store
Great prices and customer service. Easy shipping process
No issues at all, just smooth transactions since I started using Knetbooks last fall.
Easy ordering process and fast delivery and updates
Good prices, books in store, fast check out. I got a better than my classmate that ordered her books from Amazon.
Great overall, always have a coupon code available, 9 out of 10 times have the textbook I'm looking for cheaper than the bookstore, and easy website to understand and use.
Easy to use, great prices, plus I almost always can get a coupon code! Always cheaper than my bookstore.
Found the book I needed at a reasonable rental price.
Book are always in excellent condition and great timeframe for rental return.
Very quick with no problems. Great company to rent from
Edited: I called and they fixed the problem. I don't think they respond to emails. If you have an issue, call first.
I rented a textbook for a summer class. I returned the textbook in September even though it was due the following December. I received multiple emails to return the book. I did! I've reached out multiple times and no response. Will not be using in the future.
Whatever you save up front YOU PAY FOR LATER. Knectbooks requires UPS store and they charge $13.52 for a BOX! USE ANOTHER COMPANY.
Quick and easy! No issues, arrived as scheduled. Sturdy box to return book when it's time in 6 months.
Easy to navigate website, accurate order processing, quality product and fast shipping!
I received my order, and I will be returning it. Simple process.
Thank you for shopping with Knetbooks!
Quick, and site kept contact to ensure I got my book.
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!
