There are many sites that sell college textbooks online. If you decide to buy textbooks online – you should keep a few things in mind. Make sure you order your textbooks early so that you can get them in time for class; allow for out-of-stock items and shipping delays, and be sure to choose the expedited shipping option. When comparing the cost of textbooks, include the sales tax and shipping cost also.

There is significant price difference between a local bookstore and online booksellers. It would be better if you do little comparison shopping before you buy. Most of the online stores are much cheaper than local bookstore.

Find out if you want the textbook or it’s just recommended. Obviously it is important that you have to buy the book for a class but a recommended book is just that you may or may not be helpful in your studies. Wait until you’ve begun the course before you decide whether or not you need the recommended textbook.

However, we’ve compiled some online textbook buying tips that you should keep in mind. Not only will these tips save you time, but they will also save money.

  • Order you book 1to2 weeks prior to your class start date. Or request expedited shipping for faster delivery.
  • Before ordering match ISBN numbers on the textbook. Be sure you buy the correct textbook; get the ISBN (a 10 or 13 digit number on the back of book) online.
  • Buy brand new textbooks, as old ones can tear off within a few months or days.
  • Purchase international copies: By buying new edition you will get most up to date version of your textbook. If your professor has specified that you have to buy new edition it is a requirement.
  • Buying new college textbooks helps college students to underline, highlight and make notes in the margins of their textbooks. This means that if you buy new textbook, you won’t have to worry about being distracted by what someone else thought was important.
