[quote=Anonymous]I use half.com for textbooks for DDs private high school.  I have about 85% phenomenal success.  I buy her 2 sets of books (to keep one at school and one at home because she grew accustomed to "forgetting" her books so she couldn't do her homework).  This semester her Spanish text was $1 with $4 shipping.  No kidding.  But every semester one book just fails to arrive.  By the time you file a claim, the semester had already started and the book is no longer available.  Amazon used books are a bit more expensive but their claims are processed much more quickly.  Now I just order her books as soon as I know what classes she's enrolled in.  The college-aged DD preferred to get her books at the used book store near campus.  We've found college texts harder to get 100% right -- sometimes the professors combine the required books (for example a text, a supplement and a study guide).  Well that combination gives them a unique ISBN number which isn't available on half.com (but often available individually) and so you're not 100% sure you have the right books.  This drives DD1 a bit crazy.  DD2 will have no problem with it.  [/quote]
