BookByte

This site was excellent and very easy to use. I needed a study guide and they were the cheapest compared to many others. You can search w/ author, publisher, title, ISBN, or keywords. Alot more than most search engines at other book sites. They ship ...

I had a horrible experience selling my books back to BookByte. I checked with several sites and Bookbyte offered me the most money, so I sent my books to them. The two books were packed in a UPS box, side by side, and with packing material to prevent ...

I ordered a textbook that was sold as New. They shipped the book very quickly. It was in great condition when it arrived. It contained the online registration code for the publisher's website, and I didn't see any indication that it wasn't New. ...

Not a good experience. Yes, it was easy to locate my books by ISBN# and print a shipping label, but all book buying sites offer this feature. The bad part of my experience is once the books are received, they are evaluated for quality to determine value. Well, the quote they provided me was reduced a great deal because they discounted my books so severely! The books themselves were in very very good condition. There was no writing or highlighting, no folded pages or corners, very little wear around the edges if any. One that was practically new was discounted down to $6.00! They always reduce the amount they originally quote you. If you are looking for a place to sell your books, go some place else!!

BookByte.com provides the worst service anybody can ever get. Placed an order, got charged on the same day, but never shipped. Called up customer service after 3 weeks, get rude answers, says it has been cancelled long back and fully refunded. Never got a refund or any communication about cancellation. On the website it still shows 'Ordered' Status. Have to dispute the amount from Credit Card Company. Be careful, and take a call while ordering.

Received textbook for my daughter's class NEW, shrink-wrapped for $26.00 plus a few extra dollars for expedited shipping. Found them through eBay as a member store. Cheapest she could find online NEW was close to $80.00 (List at $107.00) and USED at $60-70. Then read some terrible reviews online that they had shipped USED books instead of NEW, etc. etc. I quickly opened the package and sure enough, shrink-wrapped, obviously new, shipped USPS Priority Mail and received in 3 days! I couldn't be happier and will always look at their pricing during the coming semesters. I feel I really got a bargain.

I ordered my book on 7/28/06. 7 days after my order, I emailed to check on it since their website tracking info showed nothing. They quickly replied and said that it takes 4-7 days for them to receive the book and then 3-7 days before they ship it out to me. That's ridiculous! A person could wait 14 days before their package is shipped? I have never heard of such a thing. 12 days after I placed my order, I again emailed to check the status. They replied with the same thing about their shipping times, and then told me that it had shipped the day before.

What was the point in telling me their shipping policy again? I guess they were annoyed because I was checking on my shipment 12 days after I ordered it when they had already told me it could take up to 14 days to be shipped...which might I reiterate, is ridiculous.

So Finally, I received my book yesterday, 8/10/06. 13 days after I ordered it. The book was in new condition as promised, but don't order from these people unless you have plenty of time to wait.

this website is INCREDIBLE. you will save $$ on all the books you buy and it ships MUCH faster than amazon or other book websites. Highly reliable. i am getting all my books from here from now on-- especially textbooks!

Find another service to buy your books. This one is a ripoff.

They quote high prices for your book online, then send much less. I submitted a brand-new, shrink-wrapped book, for which they offered $40 online.

The check arrived for $33, due to wear-and-tear. They send blather in response, and you are obligated to take whatever they offer, since they don't return books.

I placed an order for a book waited for over ten days and got a Sales Cancellation email. Horrible service. Buyer beware.

I ordered a lab manual from Bookbyte through Amazon Jan. 24th. They confirmed my order on the 25th and promised to deliver at the latest Feb. 3rd. I had it shipped priority because I was late enrolling in the class. Today is the 4th of Feb. and no book, IF it comes tomorrow, it will be two days late. Delivery speed is horrible. I don't know about order accuracy because it isn't here yet. Customer service wasn't anything to hoop and holler about either. The lady on the phone didn't offer any info as to when it was shipped, she only stated that she couldn't refund me any money for three days. She didn't understand that I don't want a refund, I want the book ASAP. She didn't apologize.
Also, when I rate Ease of Ordering, I ordered through Amazon, so I do not know how easy it is through their website.

Sellers BEWARE!!! BookByte.com is a RIP OFF!!! I submitted my ISBN's to several book buyers and since BookByte had the highest bid, I sent my books to them. One of them was NEW, the other in EXCELLENT condition. They quoted $57.00 and upon receipt sent me an email saying the book was frayed and yellowed and would only pay $14.35 for it. This is complete BS...don't trust these people and spread the word - THEY SUCK!!!

SELLER BEWARE!!!!!!!
I was quoted, not given an estimate of $25.00, yet actually only received half of that. I took photos of the book I sold them. Two weeks after I sent the book to them I get an email letting me know they will sell the book for $12.50. They explain the book is in poor condition, but I have the photos to prove it is not. DON'T FALL FOR THE SCAM! You sell to them with their high quotes and they actually pay you rock bottom price, if they even pay you at all.
BAIT AND SWITCH. They also will NOT return your book under any circumstance. If they don't pay you for it they throw it away.
STAY AWAY!!!
