| 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. | |
| Nov 2009 | I had no problems with this company. I was hesitant to use them given the reviews. However, they tend to pay out much more (sometimes twice as much) for your books. Based on poor reviews, I thought the high pay out was too good to be true and only sent a few books to test it out. I was very happy with my transaction. They have an option to transfer your funds directly to your checking account through a link on the website so you don't have to deal with activating a gift card. I will definitely use them again! | |
| Nov 2009 | This is by far the easiest company to deal with! I have used a lot of other services and these guys were quick and everything as promised. I am not sure why people complain about the Visa card, I thought that was great since you can use it anywhere. These guys beat all the other prices by far! | |
| Oct 2009 | This is the worst place to send books. They do not honor the price they quote, in addition the visa debit card card they send instead of a check is very hard to activate. On top of this one has to pay a yearly fee for the debit card. They like to fleece people. Not recommended. | |
| Oct 2009 | NOT RECOMMENDED. They quoted $76.50 for two brand new textbooks and paid only $67.57. In addition, although I selected "cash" for the payment option, they sent a prepaid VISA card. In order to activate the card I had to agree to pay a monthly fee to VISA. | |
| Sep 2009 | the gave me the money after waiting for three weeks, but instead of sending me a check which i selected, they gave me a money card which i would have to pay for as long as i used it and it wouldn't even activate and i could not talk to a person cuz they never gave me that option! eventually i just had to transfer the money to my bank and they gave me the money that way. never use this unless you have some time to wait for your money! | |
| Sep 2009 | I sent them one book as a test and was surprized and happy to get the full value of what they quoted me. I will try them again. However, I am not that thrilled with the debit card. I would rather have a check or a paypal credit (if there is no service fee.) | |
| Sep 2009 | Very satisfied. Chegg quoted (and paid) very good prices. Turnaround was excellent and UPS shipping is a nice feature. Note: some people may be uncomfortable with their payment medium (Chegg Visa prepaid check card). No complaints here. It took about two minutes to activate the check card via phone. For me, it was a lot less time and trouble than a drive to the bank...Following the card activation call I immediately used the Chegg Visa card to make an online purchase; with no problems. | |
| Sep 2009 | I hate this company! They quoted $41 for a book that was brand new, and the book in my possession was brand new, not a single thing wrong with it. What did they actually pay me for the book? A mere $6.13! This company is getting away with highway robbery! That is absolutely pathetic | |
| Aug 2009 | I had a good experience with Chegg but they pay by debit card. I would rather have a check or paypal. Otherwise service was good and was paid as quoted. | |
| Aug 2009 | Paid 10% of what they quoted on a brand new book, with the unopened CD. They quoted me a decent price, which made it worth my while, and paid me pennies. I WILL NEVER RECCOMMEND CHEGG TO A SOUL. | |
| Aug 2009 | I will make comment very plain. Do not sell your books to Chegg.com. The Visa debt card that they send will not right and you will lose money on the deal. I've tried to use the card that I have three time and it only worked once. How hard is it for them to just send a check or use PayPal like all the other companies that buyback books. | |
| Aug 2009 | They paid, in theory, but about one third what was quoted and by using a credit card system that, to date, we have still not been able to authorize, using their on-line system. Seems like making getting actual payment more trouble than it's worth...maybe that's their hope! I cannot recommend this company...avoid if possible. | |
| Aug 2009 | They never pay the price they quote, even if the book is is immaculate condition. They do not offer any good resoan for price reductions, which is 15 to 20%/ Their VISA card payment is too cumbersome and a pain. I will never sell them again. Very unhelpful if contacted. | |
| Jul 2009 | I had a pretty good experience with Chegg. They provide good communication along each step of the way. Shipping via UPS which is much faster and more reliable than USPS. My books only took 3 days to arrive. It then took another day or two for them to decide how much they were actually going to pay. And then it took a few more days for the prepaid visa card to arrive in the mail. Overall, it worked well and I got paid pretty quickly. I will use them again. | |
| Jul 2009 | My second time using Chegg was still good, but not as good as the first time. They downgraded my book from New to 'Looks Like New' and then to 'Like New' which reduced the quoted price by 20%. In general, I'd recommend not ever counting on receiving the 'New' price from them. I was expecting them to add value to my existing Chegg card, but instead got a second card. I might have used a different email address when selling the second time though, so I may have done that wrong. Also, I find it humorous that they try to be all 'Green' and plant a tree for every book, yet their packing list and shipping label takes three pages to print with tons of blank space. It would be easy enough to fit it all on a single page. |

| Jul 2009 | These people are absolute crooks! They will not pay the price that they originally quote. I have sent them two books twice, and every time they reduced the price by 25%! My books were unused and unopened. Avoid these people at all cost. Go to the other buyers, at least you will know you will not be ripped off when you are in their hands. If you do not believe me, try them and find out for yourself! | |
| Jul 2009 | I sent them two books in brand new condition and both times they reduced the price from what was quoted originally. When I wrote back to ask the reason for price reduction, they said they only pay the quoted price for shrink wrapped books! Even the publishers and booksellers do not send shrink-wrapped books. Chegg only lures in the seller to make a sale just to rip them off. And what is all this about planting a tree for every sale! I can plant my own trees, thank you very much! CROOKS! I will never sell to them again. | |
| Jun 2009 | Sent two brand new books without a scratch or mark, downgraded to used for no reason. They do not send a xcheck, they send a Visa Rebate card. | |
| Jun 2009 | Crooks!!! I sent them a book in excellent condition and was quoted a high price. They sent me a check for much less say that the book was is fair to poor condition. I would never sell to them again. | |
| Jun 2009 | I am disappointed! The site quoted me one price and then paid me a lesser value! Do not sell them your book! | |
| Jun 2009 | Awesome website, they give a really good price for most books and they even direct deposit my money in my bank within a week. Would highly do business again with this seller. | |
| Jun 2009 | I sent out books to four different companies on the same day and Chegg.com was the first to get my money to me. Their sight is user friendly and they plant a tree for every book you sell, buy or rent from them. I will definitely use them again, because I know they are reliable. | |
| Mar 2009 | This site was good. I had an old englsih literature book that was just sitting in my book shelf. They gave me $22 dollars which was decent cash. It has to print of a FREE Shipping label and drop the box off at a UPS Box and my money came with about 5 days. IT was pretty fast ans easy and legitimite. I'd do it again! This site was GREAT |
