Before I begin, I would like to state that this review isn't for the textbook, it is for my experience of renting a textbook from Amazon.
The textbook arrived as promised (used condition) and in time.
The problems started when I forgot to return my textbook by the due date. Amazon automatically extended my rental for 15 days, with a fee of $20+ dollars. Thats fine. I missed the extended due date as well so they charged me to purchase the book. That is fine as well… I didn't return the book I should have to pay for it. HOWEVER, Amazon charged me a little over $250. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS for a textbook that they are selling NEW for not even $200 (to buy used is around $50/$75).
I have no problem for paying the $20+ extension fee or even paying for the book. I should have kept track of my rental due date but I didn't and that is solely my fault. BUT I ended up paying a total of around $320 ($50 rental, $20 extension, $250 purchase price, these prices are rounded down to the nearest 10th). I just think that is ridiculous and a total rip off. Yes, it was stated when I rented the book that I would have to pay this amount but I don't think that when people are renting books they think much of these prices because who plans on not returning the book or returning it late?
I called customer service but because I knew about these prices in the beginning, they couldn't do anything and I understand that, an agreement is an agreement. But I want to write this review to warn all you other buyers and maybe even if an amazon representative sees this, hopefully there will be change. Its ridiculous to charge college students this amount of money. Go ahead Amazon, charge for the rented books that were not returned but PLEASE charge prices that are FAIR.
