I bought a book that stated it would take 3-5 business days to deliver. I got email stated it was shipped but no tracking was proved after 10 days I emailed them to ask for a tracking number but they were unable to provide but stated it was shipped. A couple days later I emailed them again as it was now 14 business days and no book or tracking and asked if they could cancel order since they can't provide a tracking number, they replied and stated they can't cancel as book was shipped. I then asked them to prove shipment with a tracking number and they were unable to again. I now decided to call my credit card company and stop payment after doing so they canceled my order and refunded and stated supplier was unable to provide book. Not only did they lie they kept me hostage for over a month over a book I could have gotten right away somewhere else.

When I went in to purchase this book, the availability status showed that it wasn't currently in stock, but some were ordered and expected to arrive soon. The website also stated once the book was in stock, it would be shipped to me automatically. I went ahead and was able to place the book in my cart and check out and pay for it. Maybe about 1-2 weeks later, the book was shipped and received. Definitely arrived way sooner than expected (and sooner that the website said it would be available by). I received my book ahead of my first class date and I didn't have to continue to follow up to check on the status of my order. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Was charged for the book but never received it!
October 2, 2023
Updated review

I found a title I've been looking for. Put in an order. A few days later I received an email saying the shipment was delayed due to them not having the book in stock...A few days later I submitted an email asking for an update. I have yet to receive a response. A few days after that I got an email asking me to rate my order and experience. I'm upset because if Bigger Books didn't have the book I wanted they shouldn't have advertised they did. They need to either return my money or send me my order.

ONE DAY DELIVERY STILL NOT RECEIVED
September 13, 2021

My daughter desperately needed her Pre algebra math book for school as soon as possible. She ordered it On Friday August 7th (we paid for 1 day shipping buisness days). Today is Saturday August 14 and we still have not received the book. I have emailed them to ask for a refund or to pay for standard shipping only. We paid $29.99 for 1 day shipping. I received a response that stated that the book has been shipped. I tracked it and it is showing that the book is estimated to be delivered on August 17th. I have sent two more emails, but have received no response to my concern. I think this is way too long for a book to be received while I've paid for 1 day shipping. Watch out for this! I would seek other options (a more reputable site to purchase books)!

Only Place Left
September 1, 2021

I ordered my book through BiggerBooks because my order from Amazon would not have been delivered until October and my order from Walmart was cancelled three times, even though the website said it had five in stock. BiggerBooks was the only place I was able to find my textbook and could get it before the second week of classes began.

Short Ravelings from a Long Yarn (1936 edition)
September 20, 2022

The title on the spine is Camp-March Stories of the Santa Fe Trail by Wilson and Taulor.
There is slight wear on the spine, but about 1/3 of the pages had never been cut apart by the binder. The inside of the book is in never-read condition. I used a sharp knife to separate them, and the result is I cannot tell the pages a separated from the ones cut by the binder. The shipment arrived several days before I expected it.

Quick and Easy!
January 22, 2022

Using the website was easy, I didn't spend too much time shopping or exploring the site as I was directed from another website that filtered out which sites (third times' a charm) carried my book as the Publisher was out of stock.
