The Ordering Process

  1. Once an order is placed, an automatic email is generated to let you know the order was received. Please read the email confirmation and check for correct sizes, colors, and shipping information. Contact us immediately at 800-255-1896 if anything is incorrect.
  2. When the order has been received by the Co-op, the Web Orders team will pull the textbooks or merchandise from the floor. Any merchandise not in stock will be ordered from the vendor.
  3. Your credit card will only be charged for the items we have in stock. If something is on backorder, we will not charge you for that item until it arrives in stock.
  4. After the credit card is charged, a second email will be sent letting you know that your order has been processed. This email will contain a note from the representative who processed your order with any special instructions about your purchase.
  5. If your order is to be shipped, it will be sent out UPS by 5pm (Monday thru Friday). Click here for more information on shipping times.
  6. If your order is to be picked up in one of our stores, it will be ready for pick-up one business day after you have received your 2nd email. This allows us to package your order and send it to the appropriate location.
Tracking Your Order:

Once your order is shipped, UPS will email you tracking information for your package. The email is sent by Quantum View, you can use the tracking number on the UPS website to follow the progress of your package. If you have not received any tracking information from UPS, you may log in to your account on our website and check the status of your order by going to Order History.

Backorders:

If an item is on backorder, it is temporarily out of stock; as soon as the merchandise arrives back in stock, we will process it and send it out to you. We do not charge any additional shipping for backordered items. Our store inventory changes very rapidly, we may run out of an item before your order is pulled. If an item goes on backorder, we will make sure there is an order placed with the vendor set to arrive soon. We also check all of our locations for backordered merchandise, in order to complete your order as quickly as possible.

Cancellations:

We will only cancel an item if we were unable to obtain it from any of our sources, and we could not locate it at any of our other locations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Ordering FAQs:

 
Q: I have a rebate card/gift card, but it doesn’t cover the full amount of my purchase. How can I place an order online?

 
A: After you have added all of your items to your cart, go the Check Out, and there will be a space for you to apply a giftcard/rebate card to your order. Once you have entered your rebate/gift card number, you will see the new total for your order and you will be able to check out with your secondary payment method.

 
Q: I accidentally ordered the wrong size, how can I correct my order?

 
A: If the order has not yet shipped, we will try our hardest to correct the order before it ships out, please contact us at 800-255-1896 immediately! If the order has already been processed, let us know, and we will send out a UPS return label for an exchange.


Q: Why is something on backorder if it was available on the website?

 
A: Our store inventory changes very rapidly, we may run out of an item before your order is pulled. If an item goes on backorder, we will make sure there is an order placed with the vendor set to arrive soon. We also check all of our locations for backordered merchandise, in order to complete your order as quickly as possible. We will never charge you additional shipping on backordered items.


Q: Where can I pick up my order?

 
A: When you place your order, you can choose to have your order shipped to you or sent to one of our two Austin-Area locations for pick-up. Orders are available for pickup at the Main Store Co-op and Co-op East. All orders are pulled and processed from the Main Store location, so please wait one business day after you receive your second email to pick up your order.
