As an ASU student, this was the first time (and I can guarantee you this will be the last time) I will ever deal with their book rental service. I have never seen a place more disorganized and slow. I received an email about them arriving at the West campus, so when asked where my books were (books that I had already been charged for) they stated that they were “probably in the back... but there’s a lot of books there.” So when I asked to find mine because I have an assignment tonight, they said no because there’s a lot.

I'd recommend it over any corporate store as they probably have what you're...
Read moreVisited the bookstore today to pick up books for next semester (next week). Google shows hours until 4 but really they're only open until 2pm right now. I arrived at 2:15 and there was still an associate there and they let me in to get my books anyway. They didn't have to do that, but they know how hard scheduling can be, especially when students are getting information that isn't updated.
I'm truly grateful that they let me get my books without any hassle. I can't imagine other bookstores going the extra distance that ASU...
