I don't even use this bookstore anymore. First, and probably the worst part, is that they don't offer Bursar Billing, so for those of us who have to use our student loan money to buy books, it's absolutely terrible. Student Loans don't come until a minimum of ten days before the start of class, often much later than that, and so everything is in a rush.
What's even worse than that is that nine times out of ten when I try and order a book from them, it's not even in stock; they have to order it from someplace else, and they are anything but efficient about it. Three weeks into class now and I still don't have the textbook I need for class; the one I ordered from Amazon, which was cheaper anyway? There within a couple of days.
If you're going to force us to use your services in the University Bookstore for some books that are specific to IUPUI, at the very least you could act like a typical bookstore and actually have the damn things in stock, or if you're going to have to order them from someplace fourteen countries away, then offer Bursar Billing so that we can at least get on it as early as possible.
If you don't have to use them, then don't. Save yourself the heartache of dealing with this subpar organization. (And they wonder why places like Amazon are slowly driving them out of business?)
