textbooks

<p>Does anybody know if HIS315L need any textbooks because I checked the textbooks listing for each of my classes and nothing is listed for history. I’m pretty sure there are books for that course.</p>

<p>Where can I find the required textbooks for my courses? I saw it before but can’t remember where it is.</p>

<p>Go to your course schedule (<a href=“Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request”>Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request). Click the link that says “Check Textbooks for these Courses”.</p>

<p>If I’m ordering books from where ever, do I have them ship the books to where I’m moving to or have them ship them to my house?</p>

<p>That would depend on their advertised delivery speed.</p>

<p>for all students ordering textbooks, amazon.com is offering a free one year trial of amazon prime too students. That way, you can get your books in one day.</p>

<p>^ But most sellers on Amazon don’t have Prime shipping…</p>

<p>Yeah, you actually have to buy something from Amazon itself, not from a marketplace seller, to get that free 2 day shipping.</p>

<p>Unless the marketplace lists “fulfilled by Amazon”. that way, you can have free shipping.</p>

<p>is half.com good place to get the books?</p>

<p>Yes, half.com is an excellent place to buy textbooks. That’s where I buy and sell all of mine.</p>

<p>yes, half.com is a great place to buy textbooks. you can get them cheaper through facebook marketplace (sometimes) or ebay though.</p>

<p>oh ok good then. thanks!</p>

<p>You are welcome. And if you order online, I recommend ordering with a credit card. If half.com buyer protection fails, you can tell your Credit company to do a reverse chargeback.</p>

<p>yeah ok, I never use cash when buying stuff online.</p>

<p>xtra have you tried using debit cards? has buyer protection ever failed for you on Half?</p>

<p>Half.com has an amazing buyer protection policy. I would recommend always going through half before ever issuing a credit card charge-back or disputing a transaction through your credit card company.</p>

<p>I sell a lot of things on Half (almost $1k so far this year) and I am very familiar with all of their policies. I know if you do not get your book by the end of the estimated shipping time (19 days for Media Mail, I believe you can file a claim after a month) you will get your money back unless the USPS has a delivery confirmation number that states it was indeed delivered to your address. DC is optional and sellers can choose to use it or not. If they do not, and you file a claim, you are guaranteed to win. If they do use it, and it says it was delivered, then it was delivered. Simple.</p>

<p>So i’m ordering my books right now from the co op… mainly bc of convenience, but i was wondering.</p>

<p>for biology … theres like required textbooks with access codes and without for the same price.</p>

<p>what exactly is that? helpp i just want to get this textbook crap overwith!</p>

<p>Don’t mark my words, but I think the access code is probably for an e-book as well. Is the book with the access code more expensive? That would make sense, because you’re officially receiving two copies of the text.</p>

<p>Again, that’s just my assumption. I’ve never actually dealt with an e-book or the co-op.</p>

<p>If you have Zhou for biology 311 C/D, you don’t need the access code. But he sometimes put some of the test questions from the online study tool in the test, so it would be beneficial if you have the access code. (Or I can give you my access code if you PM) :)</p>
