| Feb 2012 | In January 2012 I sold 4 books to Chegg in two different transactions. In each case I received my PayPal payment the same day as the books were received. This is the fastest payment I've experienced from any of the 7 or 8 vendors I've used. Very pleased. | |
| Jan 2012 | great. i got paid a day after it shipped to them. | |
| Jan 2012 | Received fast payment via check. Excellent service. Received quoted value for 5 books in two different shipments. | |
| Jan 2012 | My experience with selling books to Chegg was great. They recieved the books in 2 days and had my paypal account credited a day later. Better service than I could have hoped for. | |
| Jan 2012 | I sent in a book to Chegg a few semesters ago, and got my money quickly and had no issues with them, so I thought I would use them again. Mistake! Both books were in very good condition, but they sent me an email and said they would have to send one back because it was damaged. I freaked out and thought it was damaged in the mail (the value of the book was over $100) but when I called them to get to the bottom of it, they said there was excessive highlighting. Two chapters were highlighted out of the 25 chapter book, and to top it off, I had bought it used like that... from Chegg! I had to pay $7 just to get it back too. Will never use them again because of thir inconsistent judgement on what is acceptable and what is not. | |
| Jan 2012 | WOW!!! I cannot believe what a great experience it has been selling to these guys! super fast payment! very honest!...cannot say this about some of the bookbuyers on bookscouter...but definitely can for Chegg.com | |
| Jan 2012 | Very easy process. Good communication, fast payment via Paypal. Top notch service! | |
| Jan 2012 | I received a quote for 5 books. They wouldn't take one that was a brand new edition this year, but no big deal. Well, I shipped my books out two days later (approximately December 1st or 2nd) Still have yet to receive my payment which was $280. | |
| Dec 2011 | Amount paid was as promised, and it was submitted to PayPal within a day of my shipment being received. Compared to some of the crooks out there, Chegg.com was an amazing experience. | |
| Dec 2011 | Good company to deal with!!! Submitted the books and got paid via PayPal all with in two weeks. 5 stars | |
| Nov 2011 | Received a check for the quoted price in just over a week from when I sent the book. Chegg was great!! | |
| Oct 2011 | They quoted me a $98 price for my book which was in nearly perfect condition. I've sold my books using lots of different sellers listed on this site and never disagreed with their assessment with the condition of my book. With no explanation of why they thought it was of inferior quality they are going to "recycle" my book. If I had thought there was even a small chance they wouldn't buy this book I would have sold it at my local store for $72. I already took it there and they offered me $72 for it. I only didn't sell it to them because chegg offered me more. Now I'm out $72 and will not be using Chegg ever again because I can't afford to lose that much money. | |
| Oct 2011 | Sold my textbook to them and they received it in less than 3 days. Received money through Paypal the same day they received it. I have read that some people have had problems but my experience was excellent. Received a competitive yet high price for my book. No complaints. | |
| Oct 2011 | Very happy with Chegg! My quoted payment was sent quickly. | |
| Sep 2011 | I received full payment for my book six days after I shipped it to them. I'm very pleased. | |
| Aug 2011 | I received a quote from Chegg and shipped out my book the same day expecting them to pay me the quoted price. Two days after I mailed out the book out they said that they "miss quoted" the book, and I could go online to request a new one. It was only after they received the book that they completely canceled my original quote. They gave me a new quote claiming they received an "extra book" from me. No, that's the one that I mailed out with my original quote! So the new quote was not even half of the original quote and was well under the competition's quotes! I requested that the book be mailed back since they screwed up. They said I'd have 7 dollars shipping fee! I called the company to request I don't pay for their screw up. They took a little off, but I still ended up paying to get my book back. It's a very shady company that takes back their quotes after you mail a book out, and they make you pay to get the book back because their quotes aren't worth the competitors prices. | |
| Aug 2011 | Best prices out there, best customer service. easy and cheap, thats what I'm talking about. | |
| Aug 2011 | Not what I expected. If your book is worth more then $40 expect a long waiting period for payment. I have used different companies in the past with books valued at more than $75 and received prompt payment. When checking the status got the run a round the first week and actually got some info the 2nd. I would not recommend this company unless your books are valued at less then $40 and oh yeah I chose my payment method as paypal which you would assume be quickiest method then by check and I am still waiting to receive my payment as of july 26. Will update. THW | |
| Jul 2011 | Very fast payment. Everything perfect. No problems. A +++ | |
| Jul 2011 | second time using chegg, first time was a little bumpy, but they came through this time excellent service:) thank you | |
| Jul 2011 | good service,however, a check for each book is a difficult for customer to count which book is paid. | |
| Jul 2011 | I used Chegg to sell a couple of my books because they offered the best buyback for these two books. I also used three other buyback companies at the same time because they offered a better price on a couple books. Let me tell you, Chegg beat the others by weeks, yes weeks, in getting my money to me. Absolutely will use them again!!! | |
| Jun 2011 | First time using Chegg. Shipped the books on a Monday, received the money on Wednesday. I was paid for all my books. Great service! | |
| Jun 2011 | Awesome service! I shipped five books to Chegg on Monday afternoon and received payment on Weds afternoon of the same week. Payment for each book was exactly what had been quoted by the automated system. | |
| Jun 2011 | recently sold two books, only received payment for one of them, they sent the first check in 2 weeks but i never received the second one | |
| Jun 2011 | Wow- I've used Chegg several times in the past, but they just broke their own record in speed and efficiency. I shipped a book on Tuesday and I just got paid for it on Thursday of the same week. Impressive! | |
| Jun 2011 | Very fast turn-around on books! One odd thing the company does is pay you one check, for each book in the shipment. I even called to ask if this was their policy. It is. It's just kind of strange. | |
| Jun 2011 | These guys pay super-fast!i use them all the time and am not afraid to say so! | |
| Jun 2011 | I agree! Package delivered at 9:30 and I had my money by 1:00 same day! | |
| May 2011 | Sent in a book on Monday, and got the full quoted price on Thursday. I will use again. | |
| May 2011 | Great Service! I use several vendors and I have to say, I am the most pleased with Chegg.com. Their turnaround time is very quick . Within a day or two of receiving the books I sent , paymet was sent immediately to my Paypal account . | |
| May 2011 | Great service! I was a little anxious to sell my books to a vendor I'd never heard of, but it was all smooth sailing. I shipped my books out on Fri the 6th and I received an email on Tues. the 10th that my books had arrived. Later on that day, I received another email letting me know they were preparing my check and putting it in the mail. I received my check on Mon. the 16th. My only downside to the service is that I sent in two books, in the same box, yet they were processed separately. When I got the first email confirming only book one, it had me worried that they had lost the second one. Also, since they were processed separately, I was cut 2 checks instead of them just putting both on one. Aside from that little glitch, I would use them again! | |
| May 2011 | I sent books back to 4 different companies the same day and Chegg was the first company to issue my payment in full for the books I sent them! I highly recommend this company! They paid me through PayPal in a matter of hours after they received the shipment! | |
| May 2011 | Very quick payment! They bought two orders from me so far and it was 2 days and I had the cash in my paypal account. I will be using them anytime I get the chance! | |
| May 2011 |
A+++++ service I got a quote on May 4th @ 2:18pm, brought item to UPS that evening(6:30pm), got a confirmation email of receipt from Chegg on May 6th (2:18pm), and received my paypal payment by 4:21pm May 6th. This company is quick and they paid exactly what they quoted. I will definitely use them next semester. I Highly recommend them!!! |
|
| May 2011 | Very fast shipping. Took about 3 days and was paid same day exactly what I was quoted. | |
| Apr 2011 | Easy, smooth transaction. Chegg pays you for your book(s) quickly. | |
| Mar 2011 | Not a problem. Sold a book to them for 3 bucks, not a problem, received check soon after they received it | |
| Dec 2010 | Paid me faster than Amazon on an identical buyback mailed the same day. Would definitely recommend them to others. | |
| Dec 2010 |
Paid what I was quoted. Great communication via email. Check arrived 12 days after I shipped the book. I have no complaints. Will use again. |
|
| Dec 2010 | I'm new to selling back books online. Found Bookscouter.com. Chegg had best price by far for my book. I mailed off book and Chegg notified me in no more than 3 days that they received my book and was processing my check. They emailed me when check was dropped in mail, and I received my check (price as quoted) a few days later. Start to finish was 9 days, with most of that time for ground transportation of book and check. Bottom line here: Chegg was quick, efficient, and communicative. A tip here for successful transactions: pay attention to bookbuyers directions and instructions and follow them precisely. Thanks again, Chegg! | |
| Dec 2010 | I was worried after reading all this negative feedback, but I traded in 2 books for $250 and I was paid the very next day after shipping them. I'm sure that isn't typical (maybe I live near the place they were sent?) but I would definitely want to do business with them again | |
| Dec 2010 | they paid more than anyone else, and it was in my paypal account 1 day after the books were delivered to them. and they paid for ups shipping so i didn;t have to wait 10 days for media mail to crawl along to its destination. i'll definitely use them again. top-notch. very satisfied here. | |

I sold them 3 books for about 60 dollars. I tracked my package until they received it, then gave them a week before i called. They said they received it and it would take a couple weeks to process. I called again a week later and they said for some reason my books are not being processed and they will notify the shipping department. A week later I called again and they said a supervisor would call me. He never called and two weeks later I called again. They said "we have a note in your file saying a supervisor called you. did he call you?" I replied and said no he had not. They were nice this time around and said a supervisor will definitely call me. I wrote the books off as a loss. Three weeks later, a total of 9 weeks in, I called again just for the hell of it and asked "Hey what ever happened to those books?" They were apologetic and said they would look into it. I guess a miracle happened because about an hour later a supervisor did in fact call me and issued me a check which I got 2 weeks later. So after a million calls and 11 weeks I got my money. |
|
| Sep 2010 | I sent them a book on a Tuesday afternoon using their prepaid UPS and the money was in my paypal account on Thursday afternoon--the fastest transaction I've ever had. | |
| Aug 2010 | This site is awesome...use COUPON CODE CC107585 to earn an extra $5 PER ORDER (make separate orders). | |
| Aug 2010 | Outstanding!!! I mailed them three books at 4pm on day and received confirmation and payment the very next day at 2pm. I can't believe how quickly they processed the books and notified me of my payment. By the way, this was a $255 order. Absolutely the BEST!!! | |
| Aug 2010 | I was anxious because of prior feedback, but chegg was great in my experience. Offered the highest price on the book, gave me what was quoted and quickly directly to paypal. Maybe they have changed in response to prior bad experiences. I would use them again. | |
| Aug 2010 | I rented 3 books and I received them quickly. I was unhappy with the condition of one book, so I returned the book the next day. All my money for that book was refunded back to my credit card. They also sent me emails of all my purchases and returns. | |
| Aug 2010 | Was one of the quickest checks Ive ever received when I sold a book online. A+ | |
| Jul 2010 | Sold them 3 books for $100 a piece and got all my money with in a week and was given the exact price I was quoted. | |
| Jul 2010 | I made a mistake and sent them the wrong book. When I called to speak with someone about the mistake I was promised a callback from a "Supervisor". That never happened and they still have my $50 book. I guess I will never hear from them but I will never sell them another book! | |
| Jul 2010 | I was also very hesitant to make a sale with Chegg.com when I read some of the older feedback, however, they were GREAT to deal with. I had one book that every other dealer offered at least $20 less than what Chegg offered. I went ahead and made the transaction, they emailed me multiple times to let me know where we were in the transaction stages, and then a check showed up for the full amount they offered. They even beat 2 of the more "reputable" dealers in terms of turn around time, from the book leaving me to receiving my check. Bottom line, I will definitely deal with them again. | |
| Jun 2010 | I was hesitant to use them given some of the poor feedback, so I tried selling them just one book. Of the 5 companies I used, they were the fastest, I got paid in 2 days! I would definitely use them again. | |
| Jun 2010 | WOW!!!! The fastest payback I've ever gotten- UPSed the book Friday(the book only had to go about 50 miles), payment was in my paypal account Monday. | |
| Jun 2010 | WOW! These guys were paying $10 & $20 more on 2 of the books that I had to sell, but because of the less than stellar feedback I almost sent them somewhere else. Decided to take the chance - mailed the books on a Tuesday & the money was in my PayPal account by the weekend. IMO - this company rocks! | |
| Jun 2010 | tHEY QUOTED ME THE HIGHEST PRICE FOR MY BOOK AND EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY. RECEIVED MY CHECK IN LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER THEY RECEIVED MY BOOK. | |
| May 2010 | Great company. Payment very quick and exactly what was quoted. Highly recommend. Can actually get paid with Paypal or check when you visit the site. | |
| Feb 2010 | Chegg provides excellent customer service. There was a little mix-up when I received a duplicate check that had to be voided, but they handled the situation with grace. This is a very fair and professional company. | |
| Feb 2010 | This site gave me good payouts on all my books. More than other sites. I was very pleased. They don’t have PayPal, but that’s ok because you can get charged for that. The do send out a visa card, but before you get the card you can just transfer the fund electronically to your checking account. One of the six books came back lower than the quote so watch the quality of the book it must be very good. | |
| Feb 2010 | Thought I would give them a try. They held onto my book for a long time until I chatted with them online and they sent me a check. You can use them, but keep an eye on them and make sure you keep track of who you talk to and what was said. Keep all of your emails and keep tabs on every bit of contact you have with them. I actually printed off the online chat I had with them so I could prove what was said if there had been a problem. Not sure I would try them again. They don't seem worth the trouble. Plus, they only send you a check if there is a problem. It would be cheaper for them to cut a check then keep sending plastic cards. | |
| Feb 2010 | i will say this. i have sold books to textsbookrus and blue rocket books ONLY and they were amazing. So i decided to try chegg.. i sent in a $90 BRAND NEW calculus book and NEVER received payment, They simply said they never recieved it. | |
| Feb 2010 | I sold chegg 30 books in six different orders and every single order that they processed was wrong. They put no order numbers on their checks so you can't balance your account. Will never sell them a book again. They need to stick to renting. |
