The best thing that ever happened to me in my schooling career.
Everyone I know that has to buy books I tell to use Bigwords. They do all the hard work for you so you get the best prices with very little effort. Before I found Bigwords, I would spend hours comparing textbook prices on different websites, but now all I have to do is type in the books on Bigwords, and they do the rest!
i work as a librarian and i'm always directing students to bigwords for textbooks, which our library does not typically carry.
Easiest place by far to compare prices for text books!
Love the service/ extras that came along with my book.
I went for the cheapest thing and didn't get the greatest thing, but I guess that is why it was cheap. Don't go off price, look at the condition and seller, and then compare to the price!
Helped me find the best deals on my college textbooks.
BIGWORDS saved my broke a$$ during my first college run-through, and now it's helping me out again as I pursue my second degree. Whenever somebody gripes about textbook shopping, I always recommend BIGWORDS. It's a total game-changer!!
I've been using Bigwords.com since I started my graduate program in May and have been really pleased until my most recent order. Two out of the three text ordered arrived ahead of schedule (one even came all the way from Malaysia early) but I am still waiting on the third and continually am told it has shipped but there is no tracking number...that does not make me feel very confident. I will be more hesitant to use Bigwords.com in the future because of this.
Hi Jess, BIGWORDS takes seller ratings into consideration when recommending which books to buy. BIGWORDS ignores sellers with less than an 80% or 4 star feedback rating. But... one should always read feedback about sellers before making their final purchase decision. One thing that you can do to help everyone -- leave feedback for the seller on whatever site you purchased from. If everyone did that, BIGWORDS would be able to weed out more sub-par sellers. However, if the seller has said the item has shipped, my guess is that you'll get your book shortly. Thanks for the feedback! Jeff Sherwood CEO
BIGWORDS is convenient online shopping. What they don't have, they provide you with the next best place to make your purchase, hassle-free!
I love this site! It saved me $600.00 last year!
Seriously this site has been an absolute God-send, I don't know what I would have done without it. The courses I am taking both require access codes and with most sites you can't get the book and access code, but with Big Words I was able to find a site that offered both and I'm so happy with it!
I've been using their site for years, and as a full-time college student they have saved me a lot of money. I've got my classmates using it as well, because the textbooks at our university are very pricey. I'm glad I came across this website, and will continue to recommend it to others.
I have received most of my books rather quickly! It was easy enough to maneuver through their website. Great prices! Will use them again for sure!
Honestly good prices for text books and looks for the cheapest way for you to buy/rent your text books.
Bigwords always shows the best quality, cheapest textbooks. I've saved over $100 each semester using them, and I would highly recommend it to anyone, I've never had any issues with them.
I am thrilled to have found Bigwords.com! I have three kids in college and this makes all the difference.
Great site to compare textbook prices. Although did not have any Half.com prices, which they used to include. Still, a big time saver.
Only site I use for my textbooks! I love the features and the coupons and the jokes too! I wish it was more popular, I tell everyone I can about the site.
