The Art of Buying Textbooks: Part II

So, you've purchased your textbooks online... You're not done just yet! Purchasing online takes a little more work, but it's worth the amount you save! :)

Make sure that you keep track of how long it should take for your book to ship, you can easily check such information in the "My Account" page of Half.com and Amazon. Make note of when your payment was received.

What You Need To Keep Track Of:
  • When you paid
  • When the item should be shipped out by and received (by you)
  • Feedback - If everything goes according to plan, and even if it doesn't, be sure to review the seller appropriately. Don't sugarcoat and be sure to report them if you did not receive the book. (I've purchased many books online and only went through this once with a merchant that had no rating.)
