Overall - Excellent
Over many years I have received excellent services from facultybooks.com. At one point there was confusion, and an error, in pricing of books - that was readily taken care of with a phone call. Over 15+ years the service has otherwise been superb.

Give bonuses to old customers as well as new
I have been annoyed at being left out of bonus incentives. I sell elsewhere instead of Faculty Books, because I receive several notices a year offering 10% and 15% bonuses to new members only. As a faithful repeat customer, I believe I have earned and should receive a bonus at same time "new customer incentive bonus" is offered. This is why I have researched and trade with other book buyers.

Often worth it.
After accounting for fees and other costs, I find it is often worth selling to Faculty Books rather than on Amazon.

Best Way to Sell Books
Wonderful service. Easy to use, convenient, and pays as much (or more) than the folks who bang on my door all the time.

Questionable
There always seems to be issues with a book on their end. The book was bent in shipping. Other faculty members have had orders that were never received.

Great Company-One Complaint
I have been conducting business with facultybooks for well over a decade and have been very pleased with the service, particularly the turnaround time involved in processing orders. Although I give the company a five-star rating, I have one long standing and one minor complaint: the long-standing complaint is that from time to time I am informed that several books in my shipment were "damaged" or otherwise defective. I have always been careful to include only pristine copies of books in my shipment (no used copies or books with bent pages, etc,) I have taken offense to such evaluations- my second complaint: I hate the new website because it is difficult to negotiate!

Ok Service
The turnaround time is good, but they had a promotion which provided an extra percentage on top of your book sale. I did not receive the extra amount when I received payment.

I've been very happy doing business w/ FacultyBooks.com for close to 10 years! There have been very few issues over the years and they were handled quickly. I appreciate the bonus rates throughout the year. Keep up the good work!

Great!
Lots of titles accepted, quick turnaround time from shipment to direct deposit. Book evaluations (new vs. used) are fair and reasonable. Of course, I still have books they won't take, so it would be nice if they accepted even more, but they can't accept every book out there, can they? Conduct business with assurance.
