Dynamic Bookstore has the best return policy for West Chester University students. No other bookstore will provide copies of your receipts on file for returns.  You won’t get stuck with your books if you lose your receipt with  us!  Many students have horror stories about trying to return their textbooks, only to be turned away and stuck with $100+ in textbooks simply because they didn’t have their receipt or they didn’t accept returns.  Just make sure that when you purchase your books, you give your cashier your name and phone number so that we can store a record of your purchase in our computer system under your name.

Here is the official textbook return policy:

Fall & Spring semesters:

The first week of class all books are completely returnable, no questions asked!  For this semester that date is January 27, 2012, by 5pm. After that you may return books up until the end of the second week with proof of a dropped class.  Unfortunately, after the last day of the second week of class we can no longer accept any full-price returns.

Summer semesters (5 week classes):

We do full-price returns, no questions asked, for 4 days during the first week of classes.

Summer/Winter semesters (1-, 2- and 3-week classes):

We do not allow returns for one or two week classes. For three week Winter sessions we allow returns up until the 2nd day of classes.

Please remember that NEW books must be returned in the same condition in which they were purchased.  Also, all shrink wrapped items must be returned in their original wrapping.  We also cannot return opened or used online codes such as Livetext or the SPA online workbooks.

For more details, or additional information on returns, see the return policy page.

Are you paying for your son or daughter’s books this semester?  What if they need to return, exchange or buy additional books once you have returned home?  By simply filling out a one page form, we can make that possible without you having to make a trip back to West Chester or transfer money to your child.  Our credit card authorization form allows your son or daughter to take care of returns and exchanges or buy additional books on your credit card, with your permission.  Once you have filled out our credit authorization form, they will not need your card present as long as they have a valid picture ID (without a photo ID we cannot do a credit card authorization, so make sure you don’t forget your ID!) We will then be able to charge your card with their signature.  You can authorize them to buy and return books, school supplies, clothing and more, or restrict them to textbooks only. The choice is yours!  When you come in with your son our daughter to pick up their books, just ask one of our employees for a credit card authorization form, fill it out, and upon check out that form will be processed.  With this quick and easy form you will be free from having to follow your son or daughter around the store on those cold winter days, and you can still pay for their books.  So fill out the form soon and save a trip the next time your student gets their books!

Damaged Textbooks and Buyback: The Facts

.

How are buyback prices calculated?

Buyback prices can vary based on several factors:

• If a book is being used the following semester, we will pay a higher price, sometimes up to 50% of the used price!
• Supply and Demand – each bookstore has a quota for used books.  Once they buy back that quantity, the price often defaults to a wholesale price determined by wholesale book companies.
• Edition changes – If a new edition of the book you are selling back is due to come out, wholesale values drop.
• Condition of book – Unfortunately we cannot buy back wet or damaged textbooks, and in some cases, study guides that are heavily marked or have pages missing.

Should I sell my West Chester textbooks back now or wait for a later time?

Generally, it is best to sell back your textbooks as soon as possible.  If you intend to re-read the text, use it for a future course, or use it for reference, then you should hold on to the book.  However, when you keep the book, you take the chance of having the book’s value decrease.  The depreciation can be due to several factors, such as the book having a large stock available, being an old edition, or having a new edition pending.

My friend just sold their book back for a higher price than mine, what’s the deal?

Most college bookstores only need a certain number of textbooks per semester.  Once we hit our quota for textbooks needed, the price of the text usually defaults to a wholesale price.  The key to getting a higher price is to sell your books as soon as you know that you no longer need it.  Generally, this means early on during finals week.

Why are custom textbooks often not bought back?

Custom textbooks are made specifically for the university–often particular to a professor and their course section.  These specially-made books can change between semesters.  Moreover, there are no wholesale prices for the nationwide vendors, since they are not able to sell it to other schools.  Occasionally, a custom textbook does get reused here at WCU, in which case, we would offer to buy it back.

Why can’t we sell back International Editions, Advance Copies, or Teacher’s Editions of textbooks?

Most of those International Editions, Advance Copies, or Teacher’s Editions do not have wholesale value, and  cannot be sold or re-sold in the U.S.   Many professors frown upon bookstores for selling these books and there is significant legal pressure from publishers, as well.

Why do I need the CD for my textbook to sell it back?

Without the CD, the textbook loses its value and may become unsellable to future students, who may actually need the CD for use in their class.

We believe that Dynamic has the best overall deal for you when it comes to selling back your WCU Textbooks, but we encourage you to find out for yourself by shopping around and comparing prices.
