If I could leave a less than zero star rating. I would. These folks never answer the phone. And then when you absolutely need something that you cant buy elsewhere, they use any excuse not to have it in stock.

Had a variety of books to choose from for class. Usually there is someone there to help you find whatever books you need for class.

The associates, the one sitting in the office near the book table in the back, passing out the books will rush you, no patience. The associate at at the front desk with the register does not have friendly customer.

I have no idea how the supply manager has managed to keep her job. Our instructors will give her notice months in advance about what textbooks theyll be needing and how many per student count, yet somehow everything is almost always on back order. If you speak to her about it, she will to spin it into somehow being your fault that you havent gotten your books. She literally asked me why I hadnt picked up my books when the database she had opened while I was speaking to her said it wasnt in stock. This was after coming to see her multiple times in person where every time she would take my number and email address and promise I would receive word from her with a you are my priority.The staff are incredibly rude and unhelpful. I dont even understand how any of the other reviews here can say otherwise. They tried to overcharge our class for some textbooks that, when ordered, were $20 cheaper than when they finally arrived.Oh, and and if you call about an order status, theyll transfer you to the backroom where no one will answer the phone or call back. Yes, they have voicemail.If theyre not rude, theyre incompetent. They cant answer simple questions like, who can I ask about [textbook/online code]?If Trident wasnt hell-bent on having their students purchase books/codes tailored for Trident Technical College and constantly having the departments get new editions of their required texts, then Id recommend using Amazon or the Used Textbook store down Rivers Ave.

Trident Technical Collage continues to hire good adjunct instructors and they have a very good math lab geared to help the student learn as much as they are able. The college is aware, and sensitive, knowing that so many students struggle with their understanding of mathematics and responds by providing learning tools.If the student is able to attend and use the help available there, success is in their future.

Its an okay bookstore. The section in the back for textbooks is a little confusing & looks disorganized. The front has a nice selection of notebooks & pens, office supplies as well. They have some nursing & art student supplies too. Theres also a few makeup things, purses, cups, blankets, clothing etc. Everything is super expensive & overpriced though so I reccomend buying your office supplies at the dollar store. The staff is quite nice, theyre very helpful!

Review №13

Simply atrocious. This is a place where the staff feel theyre doing you a favor by being there. They told my son he HAD to purchase all of his textbooks for both Fall 1 and Fall 2 before the semester even started. When we tried to return the books for Fall 2 shortly after that because my son changed his major, it took 3 attempts over 8 weeks... and, they were rude. You would need a can opener to get an answer out of these people that is more than three words. They are not helpful; they are not pleasant. They do not understand customer service at all.As parents, we send our children away to school thinking that the school we selected cares about the students and their best interests and would do them right. Its obviously not the case here.Seeking other alternatives, we decided to try across the street at Textbook Brokers for our Fall 2 text books. They offered us every possible solution we could ask for. They gave us great instructions on book rentals, book purchases, if we needed a book with a code or without one and how to return the one with the code if we didnt need it to pay a lesser price. They answered questions we didnt even think to ask at the time. Additionally, they saved us $125 on just two books... and they take financial aid. I would encourage people to check out other sources and if you have to use the Trident Tech bookstore, make it a last resort.

Ordered book online on a Wednesday, by Friday had not received email it was ready for pickup. Classes started the next Monday so drove out to see if it was ready for pickup. Employees were not helpful, acted like they were union (maybe they are). Long story dont bother ordering online the process is broken. Did get the book but will order off amazon next time if the isbn matches

Wow... Ive been to many a college bookstore: Princeton, U. of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Yale... U. of Michigan, The Citadel, College of Charleston, Washington University, Washington & Lee, UVA, Clemson... I can go on and on. This is the only place Ive been where they try to prevent you from buying books... Student or no student... Im buying a book... Its a book... Theres not a shortage... And youre getting money in return. That is what a store, by definition, IS. Why do I have to prove Im a student? Is TTC the only college campus in the world where books are being stolen? And even if they were... Wouldnt that be to the betterment of society - someone wanting to actually learn? I drove to the bookstore THREE separate times... an hours drive for me... and still wasnt able to get my book. I was on a scholarship which pays for my books and materials. One time, I was actually on the phone with the person over the scholarship and still couldnt get my book. The last and forth time, I wasnt able to get there and sent my mother... and they gave HER trouble - even after the store supervisor was emailed and told she was coming to pick-up the book. Advice? Show up with your TTC ID, TTC student ID number, social security card, birth certificate, drivers license, another form of picture ID (I used my NASE diving license), a form of payment that has your name on it (no, your parents cant pay for your books), and maybe your first born for a blood sacrifice... Its easier getting in and out at customs than getting your books from here.This is NOT a review of the workers on the floor or behind the cash registers... They were helpful and nice every time. I would give them six stars, if I could. This review has to do with the management and those actually over the bookstore itself - and them ONLY.

Very friendly staff. They have always been able to help me find the books I needed for class. The books are crazy expensive, but that isnt their fault.

I had to first figure out how to enter the parking lot. The driveway was completely blocked with no signage telling you what direction to go. Once inside, I found exactly what I wanted.
