The Redbox of Textbooks! Packback has changed the way I use textbooks in school! I got singed up by a rep at my school with a free rental and started using their Redbox style pay per day digital textbook rentals. An awesome concept that lets me only pay for books when I need them (lets be honest thats almost never). I most recently discovered their buying and selling used book section. I am able to compare multiple websites for buying and selling textbooks so I can get the most money for my old books or buy a used book if Packback does not offer it yet.

Awesome company, awesome idea! As a college student, this website makes using textbooks easy and cheap. It really does save me hundreds of dollars per semester by offering $5 daily rentals. I would honestly encourage everyone to look into this company and use it.

Non existent customer support and terrible service Purchased an ebook for over $65 and was unable to open. Tried on multiple devices to troubleshoot. Attempted to reach customer support 6 times over two days. Never reached a human nor received call back. Class in in progress and no textbook. Guess will try Cheggs and go through credit card dispute so I can get my $$$ back from this useless service.

The Future of Textbooks Often times I don't even buy my textbooks for the semester because I think it's pretty silly to spend hundreds of dollars on books I'll use a minimal amount of time. I typically bum them off friends or go to the library and pray the one copy is checked in when I need it before a test. Packback is definitely going to be something that will soon be a household name (at least for the college student) because it's such a smart way to study. It saved me a ton of money (and nagging) this semester already!

This company has so much potential and will continue to deliver! Its understandable that since this company just started up, it won't have EVERY single book that someone is looking for. But I love that they still were able to keep people's attention by adding the price comparison tool. This will be very beneficial for them in the future.
