"Books were not in quite as good shape as I expected but they arrived very quickly."

"BE CAREFUL!!! They are a third party vendor for many resellers who RESELL COMPLIMENTARY COPIES of books!!! Here is the response...

2:45:16 PM : System: You are number (2) in queue. Estimated wait time is 0 hours 1 minutes 17 seconds

2:45:26 PM : System: You are next in queue... Estimated wait time is 0 hours 0 minutes 21 seconds

2:45:56 PM : System: Richard has joined this session!

2:45:56 PM : System: Connected with Richard. Your Reference Number for this chat is 93724.

2:46:01 PM : ME: hello

2:46:11 PM : ME: did you get my question?

2:46:21 PM : Richard: Yes.

2:47:11 PM : Richard: And this is fine. This is just a book that was handed out from the publisher to possibly a teacher for review, and are legal to resell.

2:47:53 PM : ME: do you think it is unreasonable that I would expect this to be disclosed prior to purchase?

2:48:09 PM : ME: It is material in my purchase if that helps.

2:49:04 PM : ME: Material meaning, I would not have bought this book if I had prior knowledge.

2:50:36 PM : Richard: I'm sorry for that confusion. We do include that description when we post our own books. The content is all the same, but we agree that it should be a courtesy. However, our sellers post their own descriptions, and are not always as complete.

2:50:58 PM : Richard: Or sometimes more so, but in this case it appears it wasn't included.

2:52:38 PM : ME: well. This does not quite solve my issue I have. I am not sure what would.

2:54:22 PM : Richard: Well, I can provide you with return instructions if you want to send it back, but other than aesthetics being different, I'm not sure how the book would not work for your purposes.

2:56:35 PM : ME: It's more of an ethics and trust thing with bookbyte. I bought someone's free book. That makes me a sucker. I will regress at this point, but do know I will be sure to share about my experience. Have a grand day.

2:57:32 PM : Richard: I'm sorry if the experience wasn't up to expectations. You have a great day too.

2:57:42 PM : System: Richard has left this session!

2:57:42 PM : System: The session has ended!

"Just a few simple steps to purchase cheaper textbooks. Next?Next?Submit?Delivery LOL"

"Bookbyte has consistently had good service. I order from this website exclusively now. This last time my boyfriend needed books too and he was very skeptical of buying used and was pleased when I showed him what good condition my used books from this site were. "

"I ordered two books, they did not arrive together."

"I have used a couple of rental places before...but Bookbyte is amazing!"

"I was struggling to find my textbooks that weren't costing me my whole paycheck. I'd heard of BookByte from some friends and I checked it out. I found all the textbooks I needed at a fraction of the cost. It was fantastic! Thanks BookByte!"

"The book was in terrible condition and shipping took FOREVER, but hey it cost me $5 so overall it was a good transaction."

"I am very disappointed with my experience with BookByte. I have purchased resold books from other websites with no problems, but that has not been my experience with BookByte. I ordered a book on 1/29/13 for a class I'm taking. I asked for 5 day shipping. It is now 13 days later and I still haven't received the book. It has caused me a large amount of inconvenience not to have the book, and the responses from the seller to my questions have been unhelpful. I will not be using this service again.

Update 2/22/13: I have contacted my seller twice via email and was assured that the book was shipped. Since it has been three weeks and I have no book, I am basically just out the cost of the book with no way to recover it."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my transaction with Bookbyte. I got the book that I was looking for at an amazing price with decent shipping. "

"It was a very good website and saved me a lot of money."

"Had almost all the books I needed at great prices. The books all came within a week."

"My book was in great condition upon arrival. I would purchase from them again."

"Saved a few $$$, got my books in time for school. IM GOOD!!"

"I will continue to use this site, Bookbyte, for my future purchases. I wish I knew about you sooner!
Very, Very happy customer,
