Found both books needed for classes with no problem. Chose the rental option, glad to see there is an opportunity to purchase at the end of the rental period. I signed up for text notifications which sent me a tracking number for my package a day after I submitted the order. Books came in within the week. I will say though I was expecting to get the tracking number via email too so that was a little weird. But both books came in great condition and the packaging can be reused for the return.
I placed an order for a book around the time my program was starting, I entered correct payment and shipping information for it, Knetbooks confirmed my order and charged my card (the correct amount was taken out of my account), and Knetbooks cancelled my order without warning two days later claiming something was "inconsistent" with my payment information. I reached out several times for clarification on the issue and to offer more information if necessary, and never got a response. Now I am stranded without the book and have missed 2 weeks of school content because of this issue. Thanks for nothing!

Cheapest price online for rentals
Products were required for class
Edited: I called and they fixed the problem. I don't think they respond to emails. If you have an issue, call first.
I rented a textbook for a summer class. I returned the textbook in September even though it was due the following December. I received multiple emails to return the book. I did! I've reached out multiple times and no response. Will not be using in the future.

Saved almost $100 by renting my book instead of purchasing it through Amazon. The delivery was quick and I received my textbook faster than expected.
Lowest price
Assigned textbook
Twice Amazon has failed me as I attempted to rent textbooks from them, once sending the wrong textbook altogether, and the second time, not promising to get it to me until my three-week crash course was over. Knetbooks not only beat Amazon's shipping time by almost 3 weeks but they sent me the correct book. Mind blowing.
I will no longer be renting textbooks through Amazon! So glad I found Knetbooks!
Grad class required textbooks.
Quick shipping! So much faster than Amazon!
Need the book ASAP!
Knetbooks made getting my textbook so easy. I did not have to spend a great deal of money and I do not have to worry about trying to sell my book back to someone. Other places in the past said they would buy my book back and then would not do it. Renting like this is awesome. They sent me a brand new book in excellent condition. I can't wait to use them again in the future.
Cheapest and easiest with the book I needed.
This is the book I needed for my class and Knetbooks was the only company who had it in stock, could send it right away, and was less expensive in the long run.
Thank you. It was simple so far.

Please refund me, after waiting over a week for my order to process I had to cancel and buy it for much more on campus.
Cheaper price

After flipping through the pages, everything in the book seems present and in good quality. My only other comment would be that the cover/title pages are oddly folded because for some reason they are bigger than the normal page. Not really a negative comment as it does not really bother me but just left me a little confused. Other than that, I am happy with my order!
I found Knetbooks while I was searching through sites that had the book I was looking for. On many other sites, the book was double the price.
Easy ordering and quick delivery. I also appreciated updates on the status of my order.
Because you offered fast shipping options.
Required reading for college course.
Knetbooks is very good for finding textbooks at cheaper prices, especially with the free shipping even with the return. Just be sure to take a picture of your book's condition when it arrives; I assumed the wear and tear for the first workbook I rented was to be expected, but upon returning it I got charged full price for its condition. Just have evidence of how the book arrived, take care of it, and easy to send back.
The person was informative and clear, but the core issue was not resolved. Not the person's fault though.
I hate spending money and this helps lessen that, especially for how ridiculous textbook prices are. Always find online or rent if you can, buying is last resort (and even then, aim for second hand/used).
Required for myASL interpreting course
Knetbooks shipped my item quicker than anticipated, especially considering I ordered right before a holiday weekend. The book arrived in great condition. I appreciate the clear communication on how to return textbooks once the rental period is over.
Knetbooks offered the best rental prices for the textbooks I needed.
Product was required for a class.
Cancelled my order because they said their system said my payment information was suspicious. It's the payment I use all the time so there was nothing suspicious. They cancelled it right away but still took my money so now they are holding up $150 of my money that I need to actually purchase a book. This company seems shady. No live chat, no phone number to call. You just have to sit and wait for them to return an email while they hold onto your money. I will never order from here again. I better get my money back.

Site said it was the book and launchpad but only received hard copy of book. The main reason I bought it was because it came with the launchpad access that was required for my class. Now I have to spend extra money to get a product I never received.
Low price and rental option
Good price for launchpad and loose leaf copy of book

This is my favorite website for finding textbooks. They have the best prices that I've found for used rentals and I haven't had any issues thus far. Truly a hidden gem!
The lowest cost with the highest quality rental textbooks.
I chose the textbook based on my course reading requirements.
Quick and easy checkout. Easy way to rent textbook thank you

I'm glad I found a site that I could order cheaper books on and they came in good condition
I love an experience. I ordered books from this company many times and always was happy.
I could not find these books available on any other sites for rent, so I was excited to find them here…and at that price too! Just incredible! The two books have a slider cover that holds them together, and that was a little worn, but the actual books are in perfect condition! I was so pleased finding them, I expedited my order and will be ordering from here again!
Found the books I needed and at an amazing price!
These books were needed for my college class.
Very seamless and easy. Def legit, seemed skeptical but all good
Cheapest option i could find, to fit my budget
Needed it for a class
Thank you for shopping with us! -Knetbooks
Quick and easy. Great options for buying or renting.
It was cheapest
For my class
Quick and easy. Great options for buying or renting.
Ordered (for purchase) and had my order cancelled and (mostly) refunded three days later without any notification. Only way I knew was the refund showed up on my credit card. Notification so I could find an alternative should be an automatic part of their order system.
They had the book I needed.
Because I needed it for my studies.
Thanks a lot for helping me out… Was in dire need for the textbook and found Knetbooks had it so, without hesitation I ordered and got here just in time…
All my needs were met and was an easy order placement…
Shop textbook rentals and get free shipping on every order. Use the money you saved renting textbooks to have a pizza party, fill up your gas tank or buy groceries.
Thank you! -Knetbooks
