Book Types
You may notice a variety of book types available for a given book:
1.
New: These books are in brand new condition and will ship directly from one of our warehouses.
2.
Used: These books have been used previously by other students but are generally in good condition. Although there may be some highlighting or obvious wear on the pages of the cover,
these books are guaranteed to be complete. These books, like new books, ship directly from one of our warehouses.
3.
Marketplace: The marketplace is a platform that allows 3rd party members (i.e. other students) to buy and sell used books directly, at a price the seller determines.
Seller comments are provided for each individual book regarding the condition as well as the location from where the book(s) will ship.
All marketplace books ship directly from the individual seller.
a)
In order to participate in the marketplace, you are required to create an account during the checkout process so that buyers and sellers can communicate.
Your payment will be processed after the item has been delivered. At no time will the seller see your credit card.
4.
eBook: Textbookx.com offers digital versions of print textbooks enhanced with features such as high-speed search and electronic note-taking.
They can be read using textbookx.com's eReader or through CourseSmart on personal computers, laptops, and tablets.
eBooks are sold with a temporary license - most often making them available for 180 days after purchasing.
The rental term will be listed on the first page of the shopping cart. After the rental time has passed, you will no longer have access to your online or offline content.
a)
To purchase an eBook, simply add it to your cart as you would any other book and submit your order.
Your eBook will then be delivered electronically to the email address you provided during the checkout process. eBooks are NON-RETURNABLE.
5.
Rental: Choose from our own selection of used retail books, or rent from hundreds of different sellers on the marketplace.
All books are considered "used" and you should expect a used book in acceptable condition. If you rented a book from the marketplace,
it should be in the condition specified by the seller. For additional information, please see the Rental Program page.
a)
Rental Period - When you rent a book, the rental term begins when you receive your book. The receipt date is based upon the shipper's delivery information.
The book must be postmarked by the last day of your rental period,
including all extensions. If the book is not returned by that day, we will assume you are holding the book and you will be charged in accordance with the provisions in the next section,
Books Returned Past the Due Date.
b)
Returning the Rental - Prior to the end of the rental term, you will receive emails reminding you of the upcoming end of the rental
term as well as a shipping label and a packing list. Print these out. Put the rental books in a box with the packing slip, seal the box and tape the
shipping label onto the box. Then just drop the box off at UPS and you are done!
