Overall good, but I had a problem with one of the stores. They had trouble processing my order or something and it ended up cancelling them. I ended up ordering them from another website.

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.

This site is super useful for college students working on a budget. Definitely recommend, and I appreciate all the filters available for use.

At first site, y'all answered my prayers! Once I figured out the system it was pretty easy until I began second guessing my best options, rent or buy or both. That's where I got a little peeved, the app I used on Android was sooo super slow with everything. I then jumped to my laptop to see if that fixed the delays but nope, I went in circles forever. When I finally placed my order, minus a book, the program for the vendor I chose sat in a cycle after payment. I did not want to hit anything to lose all my hard work so I let it be for more than an hour. Finally shut it down and reopened the vendor program. It took another several hours verifying my payment in a three step process which was aggravating.
Thanks

I've used BIGWORDS.com for 3 semesters now, beginning fall of 2015. Initially, I was quite impressed! It saved me a lot of time and dollars throughout the school year. This semester, though, I was let down. A few of my seven textbooks were listed at the best price available, but overall I found better prices and coupons on my own. Despite this, I'd still recommend the site to others. It's a good, quick way to round up all of one's textbooks in one easy shot.

The website itself was very nice, but the textbook itself was in a very poor condition compared to the price

I have been using Bigwords since freshmen year of college, and always show this website to others too! It has been a blessing for me to have this service -- not having to pay full price for books. It's user friendly, but the only thing it could use is some updating (why it only got 4 stars instead of 5). But honestly, it saves me a ton of money, and they always find the best deal. Oh, and selling books is also easy too! I was afraid to do it in the beginning, but honestly, now it's a peice of cake!

They are usually a very dependable service with the lowest textbook prices. My only qualm is that I've experience some times where I have clicked on a link to a third party where the textbook price has turned out to be higher than advertised on Big Words. But I feel this is a minor problem and that overall they do a good job.
