Our EZ Book program offers a price comparison tool that allows you to decide where you purchase your textbooks. It’s an easy and convenient way for you to shop for the lowest prices currently available. If you decide to order any items from retailers other than the SDSU Bookstore through our EZ Book Program, you will be re-directed to their website(s).

The SDSU Bookstore provides this price comparison tool for your shopping convenience. However, the SDSU Bookstore is not responsible for the processing, shipment, or Customer Service of any order submitted to 3rd party retailers. If you would like to check the status of an order with a 3rd party retailer, please refer to that retailer’s website for specific Customer Service information.

The total on your order confirmation is an Estimated Total based on your selections (New, Used, Rent New, Rent Used).

By ordering from The SDSU Bookstore, you agree to let us substitute the condition of the book, if the form that you requested is not available at the time the order is processed and charged (New instead of Used, or Used instead of New).

Your Rental preference will not be changed, regardless of the condition of the book. Example: You requested to RENT USED. We do not have any more USED copies, so we RENT NEW.

The amount that is actually charged to your credit card will reflect the condition of the book that we shipped.

Please refer to your “ShopAztecs Shipment Notification” email for specific information regarding your tracking number, the contents of the shipment, and the status of other items on the order:

If you selected “Substitutions Are Not Allowed” while completing your order, some items may not have been available in the form that you requested (USED/NEW). In that case, those items may have been cancelled from your order. You are not charged for cancelled items and they will not be shipped.

Items on backorder will be charged and shipped to you the same day they arrive to the SDSU Bookstore. The exception to this is if you chose to “Cancel Items Not In-Stock” when placing your order. In that case the backordered item would be cancelled from your order and you would not be charged for it.

*Please note: All Shipment Notification emails are sent to the email address you provided when placing your order. Example: if a parent placed your textbook order for you, and entered their email address when placing the order, all emails from us will be sent to their email address.

Specific arrival dates depend on a variety of factors (when the SDSU Bookstore ordered it, the Publisher/Vendor, the ship from location, etc.). For this reason, we do not have specific arrival dates for any textbooks. However, we process your backordered item(s) the same day that we receive them, to ensure that you get your order as quickly as possible.

If you placed an in-store pickup order and you need to make any changes, you will need to do so at the time of pickup. An associate will review the contents of your box with you, and you can make changes at that time.

If you placed a ship-to-home order, you can cancel items as long as your order has not yet been processed or shipped. Please call Shopaztecs Customer Service Monday-Friday 8AM-3PM PST at 866-388-SDSU (7378) for additional assistance with item cancellations.
