<p>Has anyone else tried to take advantage of the bookstore's "tax free sale" that was supposed to be going on from yesterday through to tomorrow? Everytime I try the tax is added in the purchase summary...</p>
<p>You can probably call up and have it refunded if you actually check out and it’s applied</p>
<p>I hope so. But I don’t see a contact number for them. Just a general email address that I inquired to hours ago, with no reply =/</p>
<p>I recommend Amazon if your classes don’t require specific course packs–there is no tax in the state of NC and no shipping costs because you spend over $25 on textbooks. It’s easy and works out great!</p>
<p>If you ordered your books this weekend the tax will not be applied when you get the books in the fall. The bill online is only estimate since it does not account for what books they actually have available (ie, new and used)</p>
<p>I recommend using [url=<a href=“http://www.cheapesttextbooks.com%5DCheapestTextbooks.com%5B/url”>http://www.cheapesttextbooks.com]CheapestTextbooks.com[/url</a>] If you haven’t already ordered your books. They have reasonable prices and plenty of coupons to choose from.</p>
<p>Now that this thread has been necro-ed by a spammer…</p>
<p>I’d recommend using multiple sites to order books. I saved nearly $400 this semester buying used books online. There are a lot of websites here:
[buy</a> cheap textbooks - Google Search](<a href=“buy cheap textbooks]buy - Google Search”>buy cheap textbooks - Google Search)
Some of them have guaranteed buy-back too. So you could buy a book for $40, with a guaranteed buy-back of $20 (assuming you don’t damage it). You end up paying $20 for it, while Student Stores has the same book for $180. Plus taxes.</p>
