Online Buying Tips 


Online Text Orders

If used books are preferred, online orders will be filled with used books until used-book supplies are exhausted, at which time orders will be filled with new books. If there are only new books available (e.g., new editions, packages, instructor request, or workbook materials), orders will be filled with new books.  Occasionally, only used books are available; in such cases, when new books are preferred, we will fill the order with the cleanest used books we have in stock at that time.

Shipping costs will more than likely be less than the calculated cost on the online ordering screen. Due to the limitations of our system, each book has a pre-calculated shipping cost attached to it, but we only charge the actual shipping from the warehouse to your shipping address.

Online orders are billed to the credit card number provided by the customer when the books are pulled and the order is processed, not when the order is submitted online nor when the books are picked up. Online orders cannot be pulled or processed without the credit card being billed.

All orders will be filled as soon as possible. Most orders will be processed and shipped within 24 to 48 hours from the time they are downloaded (orders are downloaded each morning, usually by 10 a.m.), although this processing time can - and will - lengthen as the beginning of the semester approaches. If there is a problem fulfilling an order in a timely fashion (out of stock, not yet arrived, etc.), you will receive an e-mail detailing the problem and requesting further instructions. Please be aware that due to the necessity of waiting until most of our book shipments have arrived for a particular semester, many early orders will not ship until a semester start date is only 10-14 days away. If you have a particular concern or need regarding your order, please do not hesitate to contact us either through this web site or at dt05@txstate.edu.
