UCI coursebooks

<p>Should I buy my coursebooks from the bookstore online now and hope they get to my house in time or should I wait until I move to buy it then?
Unless there's an option to buy the books now and pick them up in store because I'm not sure if books run out quick and I want to be able to get my coursebooks.</p>

<p>What you can do is reserve them online. They hold on your books when you come to the bookstore and pay. That way you have to pay shipping</p>

<p>it asks for shipping address
where does it say reserve?</p>

<p>If I remember correctly the option was under the drop down menu where you chose regular or expedited shipping, but it’s not there anymore, or could I just be totally wrong?</p>

<p>oh in the help section it said that the pickup option will only be available 'til September 10th -___-
oh well
I ordered it yesterday…you think I’d get it on time?</p>

<p>Yeah the reserve deadline is past so I don’t think I can do that anymore.
Should I just wait til I move in to buy my books then? Hopefully the lines won’t be crazy long</p>

<p>you should be fine if you buy it before school starts. most books don’t run out, and if they do your teacher is lenient or you can get it elsewhere. if you’re going to be there welcome week just buy it mon-weds. (earlier in the week probably better) most people don’t buy until after classes start because they always ask the professor if the book is required…</p>

<p>How do you view what are your books for your courses?</p>

<p>you can either check through the zotportal, or you can search for your books through the bookstore website.</p>
