First I would like to warn everyone about Text Book Wheel: Do not sell your books to them. They are 100% a scam and will NOT pay you for your books.
About 6 months ago for some reason I decided to sell 3 textbooks to textbookwheel. They had a fairly well designed website and did not have anything that looked "incriminating". Also they seemed to offer a little bit more money than other sites. This should have been my first clue.
I completed my order, packaged the books, and shipped them out media mail. I was supposed to receive a 52 dollar check in the mail plus get reimbursed for the shipping fee, but this never happened. Despite the fact that my delivery confirmation said "Delivered" my order status never changed.
I tried emailing them but did not get a response until almost a month later. It basically said, "Go screw we haven't received your package yet" but I knew this to be false. I tried calling them but it went straight to voice mail. Also their Fax mysteriously did not work.
Essentially they got three textbooks for free and I'm out about ~50 dollars. Frankly I don't know why of all the scams to choose they decided on textbooks but hey whatever works right? I really don't care about the money and I know I'll never get that back, but I thought it would be wise to file a report since it seems like nobody else on the internet has.
When I shipped my books out their address was in Tennessee, now their website points to Arkansas. However if you whois their domain it comes up as Arizona, which I think was Ohio or Oklahoma last time I checked. Basically they have a bunch of addresses that probably change on a regular basis.
Textbook wheel can plant a big smooch on my ass, and I hope they enjoy the books. I took them in the bathroom with me on multiple occasions so na-na-na-na-boo-boo. They touched tainted merchandise ;) I hope when you are finally shut down you feel like giant asses for starting a textbook scam. You guys better think of a tougher reason for being in jail because I don't think inmates respect textbook scammers.
