I ordered a textbook from Knet, returned on time in perfect condition as I used the book only one time, yet they charged my credit card full replacement value of $382.91 due to water damage or maybe it never arrived, they were not sure. They did not return emails, have no phone number and offered NO proof my book was damaged in any way except the photo below. Seriously?! What book is this? Is it even the book I ordered? DO NOT ORDER from this company

Broken commitment and poor communication
June 2, 2024
Updated review

I made a purchase for rental textbooks on May 4th and it is May 23rd and I still have not received my textbooks. The company failed to respond to my messages send through their customer service system and through email. Also they have failed to reach out to explain why my purchase has not arrived. They have taken my payment and given me nothing in return.

The site initially prevented me from making the purchase and the prices increased during checkout.

Very bad condition
August 24, 2024

The rental book arrived in a very bad condition, with pages falling apart, the cover terribly worn. I had to take a second look to ensure it's the right edition. It's hard to believe that the book has been published less than 3 years ago.

Books were, shipping was bit of a mystery.
August 26, 2024

None of my tracking codes worked or were updated so I just had to wait and hope my textbooks would arrive on time.

DON'T USE KNETBOOKS
April 8, 2023

I chose Knetbooks because it was cheaper than multiple websites. I purchased a book back end of February and have yet to receive the book. The shipping updates are unclear. They don't even have a phone number to call! I tried contacting live customer service, which helped find my order. The website says orders take 1-2 days to process and 6-10 days to ship. It only shipped a week after I placed the order. It will now be arriving after I start classes for my master's degree... Extremely dissatisfied and will never use Knetbooks again.

Not getting a book cost me $0.99
March 30, 2024

Ordered (for purchase) and had my order cancelled and (mostly) refunded three days later without any notification. Only way I knew was the refund showed up on my credit card. Notification so I could find an alternative should be an automatic part of their order system.

Obscenely irresponsible company
June 28, 2021

Received an email notification indicating that my textbook had arrived. Package was nowhere to be found. Waited 2 days, as the email suggested, but still no package. I reached out using the instructions provided, and what I received was the response attached here. No responsibility was taken for my lost package, and they had the gall to tell me I would be responsible for a rental that never arrived.

I am stunned at what passes for customer service with this vendor, and encourage everyone to think twice before making any orders with this company, lest they might like to find themselves in the same boat.

Tracking number didn't work
September 5, 2024

The tracking number supplied was not functional and claimed to not even exist, making it hard to track and determine when the books were coming
