Textbooks - Any help?

[SC4EVA]

Anyone know where to get textbooks cheap? My school doesn't have a bookstore at the campus near me.... The only option is Barnes and Noble online and they want a ton of cash..

Help me out!

its the individual sellers who ship quick though. I've had books in 2 days and 2 weeks due to individual sellers and their nuances.

SC4EVA-
Try to find a seller who will upgrade to express mail (priority mail instead of media mail), it will get you your books about a week quicker.

Good point. I didn't specify that in my post. I always upgrade when the option is available - but I am also very impatient!

i hear ya. i screwed up and didn't upgrade my shipping on one of my books. the seller took 5 days to e-mail me back to say my order was going to be processed and the book would be shipped THE NEXT DAY....and i didn't put it on priority shipping. well, classes started on monday and i need the book before friday...have a quiz on friday and need to read the chapter, as it's all coming from the book. i e-mailed the seller back yesterday (right after i got the e-mail saying my book would be shipped the following day) and said i either need to upgrade shipping or cancel the order...still no reply. they're not getting good feedback from me now because their response time is horrible. i mean, come on...5 DAYS to e-mail me to tell me my order is being processed?! and it's not like i can just go buy another copy of this book...it's $83 in the school's bookstore and i saved almost $20 getting it online......guess i'm f'ed.
