General Help
Are physical orders being delayed?
- As of this update we are experiencing varying delays in getting certain print materials due to a global shortage of ink, paper, and global logistical delays. Students should still place their orders as needed and we will fill them as quickly as possible. Please give careful consideration to the shipping address you enter to ensure it is a location you will have access to upon delivery. Should your order be delayed due to COVID-19 response efforts, we will make every effort to notify you and offer alternative options.
Are UPS and USPS delivering packages on time?
- Currently UPS and USPS are delivering packages and mail without service delays, however this is a fluid situation. We will update this page as we become aware of carrier issues, which can also be monitored directly: UPS https://www.ups.com/us/en/about/news/important-updates.page or USPS. https://about.usps.com/newsroom/statements/usps-statement-on-coronavirus.htm
Why is the “ship to campus” option not showing on the bookstore’s website?
- We are disabling “ship to campus” for those schools who are closing their campus or switching to online learning.
- If you have an existing order that is scheduled to ship to campus, you may be able to switch the shipping address by following these instructions.
What should I do about my rental textbooks?
- Rentals should be returned at their regular due date. If you are unable to get to your rental book because your campus is closed, please go to textbookx.com/help.
