Never buying my school books again!

Just saved a ton a money by renting my college textbooks from Chegg.com

I was afraid I was going to shell $700 this quarter but only spent $300. Such a win! More money for mods.

I used coupon code: CC115417 at the checkout window and saved 20%+

 

Thanks for the heads up....

 

subbed for later. YOU ROCK!!!

 

I go to WSU and they have a book rental deal through Barnes and Noble, but the cost is about 50% of buying new...

Were you originally planning on buying used, or new? If used, then that's a pretty good amount of savings.

 

It's a rental program. They let you rent the books you need for the whole semester/quarter. They provide a pre-paid box, etc. so sending them back is a breeze.

All of the books I've received from Chegg have been brand new surprisingly. Pretty good program.

 

gotta be careful with chegg though. heard if there is even the smallest scratch on it they will charge you a damage fee of like a hundred or something around that. my buddy said he wouldn't use them again cause they keep charging damage fees when he returned them, and said only one was damaged the others looked like new

 

I never had a problem with this. I highlighted and crap all in my books... never had a problem.


I love chegg because 90% of the time, i end up selling the books. Easier and cheaper to just return them!

 

hmmm thats odd. but i was on the fence about it before and he explained what all happened to him and i just followed that and didn't rent them. but yeah i sell mine back too. i dunno i'll see what people say on here them will prob look into it

 

yeah. I have heard nothing but good. What your friend has said was the first bad thing I have heard.

 

BAD FRIEND

haha jk

seriously though Ima check this out for next semester.

 

alright well thats cool. i'll check into it and hopefully save a good bit haha

 

Go COUGS!

 

subd

 

haha yeah man, it is totally worth it. especially since you end up selling your books anyways.

Like the OP One quarter my books were going to be close to $800 to buy them off Amazon and still ended up saving almost $600 by renting them

 

dang yeah that sounds good, im spending close to a grand per semester. well between 850-1000. adds up wayyy to fast. haha.
oh and def sucks when i cant find anyone wanting my books back so i have to sell them back to the school store for less than 10% of what i paid.

 

lol yeah. I already pay enough for school (I am going without taking out any loans). I try to save money anywhere I possibly can.

 

yeah for sure. doing the same thing. but hoping it'll pay off with interns this summer

 

I always rent from Chegg. Fuck paying $500+ for books when I can rent them for around $150. Speaking of, I need to send this semester's back.
