"I ordered a book from Knetbooks a week and a half before my class started. It did not come until two days after my class started. I spoke to a Knetbooks rep. and she was no help. They could not track the book, blaming USPS. I told her that I was unsatisfied with their service and would not be renting from them again. Book renter has my book in my hands in two days!!!!"

"DO NOT ORDER FROM KNETBOOKS! I ordered my book weeks ago, I called a few days later to cancel it since they told me my book was on back order. They told me they couldn't cancel it because it was already shipped. How was that possible, I didn't even receive an email saying it was shipped. As soon as I got off the phone, I received an email saying my book was shipped. SKETCHY! Since then I have not received the book I do not want. KNETBOOKS has STOLEN my money. NEVER ORDERING FROM THEM AGAIN! I ORDER MY BOOK A MONTH AGO BY THE WAY!"

Thanks to this company, I'm going to miss my first assignment. I want my 15 dollar refund. This is ridiculous. "

"I have had several issues with this company. They sold me books that they did not have in stock, and by they time they notified me that I would not be receiving the textbook I had ordered, a significant period of time had passed. I had to try and find the books on another site and pay to get them rush-shipped to me so that I would not miss out on key exercises and information. Additionally, I ordered a textbook and the title of the order indicated that I would receive the code for the online site that went with the text. It was "Macroeconomics Plus NEW MyEconlab" (MyEconlab being the name of the supplementary website that I needed access too. When I received the package and this code was not included, I called customer service, and the woman informed me that it was my own fault for not reading the fine print, and there was nothing they could do. So misleading and unprofessional! I will never order from this company again!"

“Good evening,
I apologize for any inconvenience that this issue may have caused you. If you rent a book or buy it used, access codes, cd’s, and other supplemental material may be missing. The title of the book and ISBN number that is listed on our website is provided by the publisher for the new item, it is illegal for our company to change or edit this information in any way. The supplements are one time use items that are not included with used rentals. This is why we include disclaimer on our website. I have set up your account to receive a full refund if you no longer need this item. I have also applied $20.00 of in store credit to your knetbooks.com account. We hope that you give us another chance to be your textbook provider.

"Do not rent from this place, especially if you need an access code! I paid a premium price for rental of a textbook that was also supposed to include a Supersite Plus access code. This was for my daughter's first year of college.

First we received a code, but it did not indicate Knetbooks anywhere. Then a week later we received the book, and it too did not indicate Knetbooks, nor was it the same location as the code. When my daughter got to college and tried the code, the site said she needed a Plus code, and so she could not access her class material. Evidently, they sent a standard Supersite code. I emailed Knetbooks and they said that they outsource the materials, but cannot guarantee supplemental materials. I replied a couple more times trying to get clarification, but I got the same cut and paste response each time.

I then called them on the phone. This person claimed that they don't send any codes and I was lucky to get one. But even though it's the wrong code, they can't send another because they can't guarantee supplemental materials. She also claimed that they can't change the product title which clearly states the code is included, because it comes from the publisher. She said that when the item is added to the cart, a popup appears with some information and at the top it states that codes may not be included. Really? this important information is hidden with other text in a popup? It should be clearly stated in bold on the product page before even adding it to the cart! What a rip-off!

I ended up having to purchase the code separately so that my daughter can get to her studies. I may follow up with the attorney general on this one!

"I am highly disappointed in this book company. It has been two weeks since I have order my books and have yet to receive it. I have sent an email and then they tell me it has been shipped. I have been on the line for 30 minutes now and I am very upset because I need these books immediately. I just sent an email requesting a full refund of both books. This is ridiculous. "

"I have been a customer of Knetbooks for a couple of years now and never had a problem with this company. I had to cancel an order " It's an option on their website" within a couple of minutes of ordering it. Then, I received an email saying that the order processed. I send them an email saying that I wanted to cancel it. What is the point of offering the option to cancel an order if they don't follow through with it. Knetbooks said that I need to pay for 10% restocking fee plus the shipping. If it had taken me over a couple of hours to cancel my order I would understand BUT it was within minutes and they offered the cancel my order option. I USED to refer them to my friends not anymore plus I won't shop there anymore. Knetbooks you lost a loyal customer."

"My order number is: 9531328. I ordered a book so I could have it in time for class and paid $15 for 2 Day UPS Business but instead the book arrived late and didn't have it available for class! After much back and forth emailing knetbooks decided to give me a $15 store credit (which is NOT what I want or asking for). I want a refund since my book didn't arrive on time... that's all. Imagine how much money they're making off of everyone who's paying for a service which isn't being provided! Giving me a $15 dollar credit does nothing for me bc I am feed up having to argue for a miserable $15 - am I being irrational? Why does a customer have to argue to receive a refund for a service what wasn't being provided? So to those reading this: use other websites that rent books! Knetbooks.com might be cheaper but in the long run you'll save yourself time should you be unhappy with they're services!"
