"After reading everyone's reviews i feel as if i might have made a mistake ordering books, hopefully my experience isn't as bad as everyone else's. PLEASE make sure my order is coming at the expected time. And if it is possible, send me an email so i know how to return my books early enough without them getting there late and me being charged."

"So far, I am not impressed. I ordered books twice from them, both for this upcoming semester. The first order, I received the same book twice, contacted them and the representative said he would send me a shipping label. I am still waiting for that. The second order, I received today- I ordered the combo- book and access card. The access card was not included, I again messaged them and was told to send it back. I asked the representative to waive the restocking fee, as it was not me error. She stated that it was not guaranteed to include the access card- I stated that is why I ordered the combo pack, so I would receive the access card. I will not be ordering again from them, I will now need to go buy the book and access card, as my class starts Monday and I need the card. "

"I realized i placed my order last minute but it said shipping was 3-5 days which would have gotten my books here in time. Never did it say that i would have a processing time which i was told over the phone could be another couple of days on top of the 3-5 day shipping. My first book shipped out on the 21st and is not due to arrive until the 27th which is well beyond the 3-5 days. School has already stated and I'm already behind with no books in hand. Im very disappointed at this point because I'm already behind in both classes."

"I placed an order to rent two textbooks through Knetbooks on August 6th in preparation for MBA classes that start on August 25th. I hadn't received them, so I went onto my account to check on their shipping status only to find that my order had been cancelled a few days after I placed it. I received a confirmation email when the order was placed without issue, but no such notification of the order's cancellation was ever sent to me. Now I'm forced to pay extra for rush-shipping to ensure I don't fall behind in my coursework. I will never consider using this site again and can only hope that there aren't others who experience into the same problem.

I attempted to write an email to Knetbooks in regards to this issue and have gotten nothing but an error page every time I try to submit. "

"I rented my book on a thursday night and it shipped friday morning. It is now Monday and I still have not received my books. I would understand if i had regular shipping but i opted to pay 40 exrra dollars for one day shipping which would make omy books get here Saturday some time. I called customer service at 445 est and the recording stated that the offices were closed and it clearly states office hours are 8-6 M-F. The tracking number i have says the books aren't even registered as being shipped out. I wish I'd read the comments before buying the books but i won't be renting from them again"

"Easy and simple. Haven't returned yet, but have not run into any problems so far. "

"worst rental textbook company I've ever used. I had rented 3 textbooks in May 2015 for grad school. Not only did I receive them late in the beginning, but I never received a reminder email or shipping label to return my books until they notified me that all 3 books were overdue and as such they had already charged me the list price for the total of the books. I called customer service and waited 30 minutes just to speak to a representative who then told me that they were not liable for reminder notices and that I was to be charged. The best she could do after we talked a bit more was to offer me 50% off of the charged price. I still have to pay for 1/2 of the textbooks when I had no idea they were even late, which is around $150 on top of what I had already paid to rent them in the first place. I will never use this company again. "

"First and last time I use Knetbooks.com. I ordered two books on 8/7/15. One of those books arrived today, 8/12/15, which was acceptable. The other book, however, still said processing. Upon first contacting them via live chat I was told that is should ship in 24-48 hours and they had upgraded my shipping to standard without any additional charge. This time frame was not acceptable since I have to have it by 8/17/15. The second contact with them was by telephone, where I was informed that the book was coming to them from an outside vendor. When I expressed my dislike for not knowing this information ahead of time, I was told that the order instructions stated that the normal shipping time was 3-5 business days which was up tomorrow. Again I asked if she could guarantee shipment tomorrow and she said no. So what good is the guarantee of 3-5 days for?? Then to top it all off it only took them a matter of minutes to take the money from my bank account but will take 3-5 days to return it to my account upon cancellation of my order. She was nice enough however, to waive the restocking fee on the book I am returning but would not waive the return shipping. I then questioned her about return shipping when the site plainly states "free shipping both ways", I was then informed that only applies if you keep the book for the entire rental term. It does not say anything about having to keep the rental. Free shipping is free shipping, but I guess I will have to count my losses!!! I had my reservations about using this company, wish I had went with my gut instinct. I will never rent from them again and I will advise anyone I come in contact with to not use them either. Crappy customer service at its finest!!"

"Best service, fast shipping. I will recommend it !!!!!!"

"Love knetbooks! Just used them for the first time to order a chemistry book for school. Checkout was so easy, shipping was free, and the due date was later than other sites - which is great because my semester ends later! Love the site, prices are the cheapest out there. I literally rented a $91 book for $35. Definitely will keep coming back every semester!"

"I was just recently charged $190 for not returning my book. I took my book to the ups store about 4 days before it was due. I checked my tracking number and it said it was delivered on the 5th, which was 2 days later than the due date. I would understand if i got charged a late fee, but charging me that much is unreasonable. I am never gonna rent books from here ever again"

"misleading information.
truly disappointing "

"Easy to rent and return, they had a variety of books to rent. Thank you! "

"Easy transaction and great looking book."

"Fast and dependable service. "
