      This is an absolute terrible company to work with. I have been on hold for almost 2 hours and no one will answer the phone. There tracking information of my child's book is poor at best. She is in her 3rd week of class and still doesn't have a book or code to get in the Lab section. I paid $75 out of my own pocket so she could access it so she wouldn't miss an assignment. I have sent messages to their online forum, to the email address that they recommend and their corporate email and have received nothing. If you are a college using them to manage your students books, you may want to consider using someone else. POOR Customer service!!!1
