A big help in finding better deals then compared to college bookstores. I saved lots of money through this and will continue to use not only for deals but to find the best price for selling unneeded textbooks.
One of the quickest ways to find the lowest price on textbooks. I always check a couple of other places that bigwords doesn't find, but 9 times out of 10 it has the best price. I recommend it to anyone looking for textbooks.
I've been using BIGWORDS since 2003 and they're the best. It beats out all my local new and used book prices all in one spot, and the joke machonebaint bad either.
This is the best little secret of the internet! I have used Bigwords.com for all types of books. Their communications are excellent and I save tons of money buying quality used books!
For my summer class at the JC BIGWORDS.com found me the cheapest price for my on-line math class, now if it would just arrive (from Barnes and Noble) I could start working on my material.
Funny thing is that I just completed a college visit and the tour guide mentioned that at their school Coastal Carolina University, their book store matches Amazon for prices but is switching to Barnes and Noble - I guess they are the cheapest now.
Bigwords has saved me so much money! I love finding great deals for textbooks and they do all of the heavy lifting. The whole process could be more efficient and user-friendly. First of all, it would be nice if you could create multiple bookbags for different groups of books (like a group to buy and a group to rent, or a group I'm still thinking about and want ot come back to later). There also needs to be an option to put multiple ISBN numbers in and it adds all of them to your bookbag at once instead of having to individually add each one. Also I wish there was an algorithm that took into account shipping times. Because since I typically order books from a variety of websites it would be nice to have the option to exclude options that would potentially take longer. (ex: I ordered 12 textbooks 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting on the last 2 to come in and that is frustrating since I start school next week and if I knew it was going to take this long I would have ordered different copies). In general, I love this website I just think it takes a large learning curve to figure out how to use all its features.
I order a lot of books from this site and share with my colleagues and student. I am very satisfied with the BIGWORDS.COM. Great selection, very good service. I appreciate your business. Thank you very much!!!
I've been using BigWords for at least 10 years (undergrad, grad school, and medical school) and have saved thousands of dollars! They consistently show me the least expensive way to buy books and I have never had a single issue. I love that they also will take into account any coupons that might be available, so that you can maximize your savings. Top notch company that I recommend to anyone and everyone!
