Exactly, what a college bookstore should be, clean, organized, and with the ability to either hang out or get in and out without fuss. The upstairs book section has nice, wide aisles to find everything you need, and an online pickup desk to make it even easier. Downstairs is your typical college store, with several nice clothing options, etc. The checkout counter is huge, and multiple cashiers were ready to tackle any lines.

The store looks great and staff were present on both floors. It was super clean inside! I worked here years ago, and it has seen some changes, having the Starbucks there is convenient too. It looks great overall.

I had a bad experience at this store. You might want to look at their return policy before returning anything back. I bought one of their books seven days ago. I had to talk to two different people for a simple refund. I wasn’t very appreciative of the way I was talk too.

I hate this bookstore!! Every time I go here it’s an issue. The employees always transfer me to the wrong department and I can never get the help that I need. I live too far to actually drive to the store so it’s frustrating when I can’t get help over the phone. I really wish the textbook department specifically would do better. They have poor communication and customer service skills. I can’t wait to graduate and be done with this bookstore!!!

Great experience. Theres also a Starbucks inside. Its a bit pricey and doesnt have enough celebratory items like plates, cups and napkins or even the small felt flags..or miniature basketballs. I would appreciate more of these items in a party section...especially near graduation.

I am so frustrated with this bookstore. I tried to order a t-shirt from the website twice last year, both times saying it was in stock on the website, and then had my order cancelled because they actually didnt have it in stock. The first time they refunded the order amount but not the shipping and I had to follow up with them to get that corrected. I ordered a textbook last night that said it was in stock and then 5 minutes later received an email saying the book was backordered. Beyond frustrating!

Study. Study. Studying. The UTA Book Store has all your needs to help you earn the 4.0 this semester. Dell laptops. Microsoft laptops. Happy Plugs earphones for your smartphone. Just ask for Jon. Hes the smartest smiling sales guy who can give you the BEST deal in town than Best Buy or Frys ever will. REMEMBER: HERES A LITTLE TID BIT ILL SHARE WITH YOU. When I graduated from UTA in 1986, PCS or smartphones were not invented yet. Huh. Imagine that!!And it all started with a vision of one man a little show everyone said was impossible and out of this world. Im referring to the communicator. The TV show is Star Trek and the mans name is Gene Roddenberry.See how far mankind had come. Oh I forgot to mention: Q: Who was the movie studio company that took a chance on this TV show with reviews like stupid, dumb, and not very believable ?? The name is Desilu and this movie company was owned by Lucille Ball & Desi Arnes .HEY Im not that old!!

I came here to pick up an online order. The bookstore is very nice! There’s a Starbucks on the bottom floor and the whole building has a very modern aesthetic. The only issue is that they were not initially able to locate my order. After waiting for a few minutes, and having to give more information, they located it.

Cool merch and everything but they tried to charge me late fees for books I never picked up. I even called them to check them in at the ended of the semester and they said they would but instead they charged me late fees and sent my name to a collection agency, and after I called them again to get it settled they only canceled one book. So I hated my textbook experience with them, And their overpriced for everything anyway.

Dont come if you dont have too. Long lines to get in due to coronavirus and you have to wait outside in the Texas heat for a good portion of your wait. Not to mention one you get inside you still have to wait in another line before you can get your book. Highlight of the day starbucks employee bright us water.

Review №37

This place would be great if their prices were not as high as they are and the staff was a little more competent. They really need to hire people who can speak and understand English better than a lot of their current employees are able to... That communication breakdown really makes getting your required books a bit of a challenge every semester. On the brighter side, they do have a nice selection of drafting tools, electronics, and other accessories as well as a on-site Starbucks. So, three stars for, Not bad, but NEEDS IMPROVEMENT... Thank you for reading another review by me, I hope I was able to help!

(I wish she had smile face or just normal person)From my experience, people who is work their need to have a good attitude and good customer service. I am not taking about the students who is working their, but today some other employee who was working upstairs (a lady I think in her 40s ) she was very rude for no reason she gave me what I was looking for in very aggressive way . feel bad to see this in UTA book store in my last semester

Review №39

I put this review on Yelp and will put it everywhere, because I do not want other students to get treated the same why the manger and the front disk Lady treat it me.It is the worst store and worst costumer service I have ever seen. The manger and the lady at the front disk. They even do not respect the students. I have a return (I just opened the bag and never touch it, I did not use it due to the postponement of commencement) and you can see the return policy online it says:Graduation Regalia (cap & gown) must be in new condition and will not be returnable if warn or altered in any way. Product must be unused in order to receive a refund. The last day for a full refund is 30 days after the purchase date on your receipt.After 13 days I was wont to return them. They said we do not return due to Covid-19, but I sow them accept the returned books. When I told them that, then they said we do not return because it is open bag and I got it like that. I show them the website policy. They just try to find any excuse.Finally, they said do not try, and we will not return them in a very rude way. I was speaking with manger of the store after. The lady at the front disk I think in her 50s was very rude too.I feel very bad about this and the way they treat the students, not because they do not return it. I was very polite .

Review №42

The place is very good along with a Starbucks, if you get thirsty, which will definitely happen in Texas heat. Its very spacious, nicely ventilated and good service. Everyone is very helpful. The only thing is that its not cheap. Almost everything has a higher price, but they give you the books at a cheaper price if you show the cheaper price on any of the online websites.

Review №46

Worst experience I ever had. I was told an order was canceled 3 times by 3 different people, but that was a lie. I am now being charged for a book that was suppose to be canceled. I dont have money to waste. Unable to come to the bookstore (which is pointless anyway because material listed online is not very accurate) because of work. Unable to get ahold of anyone. If you can help it avoid ordering any textbooks from them.

Review №49

I ordered online access to an Elsevier course the day before my class began . We were told these were back-ordered but that we would receive the codes to access the material within a few days which was fine, I did wait until last minute. Two weeks and at least 15 phone calls later I have just received this code 13 hours before my first test closes. I am extremely unsatisfied with the UTA online bookstore. I would urge you to purchase or rent materials from other outlets if possible.

As a student, this place has a lot more worth than most realize. Yes the textbooks and supplies may have a greater cost but they tend to price match like any grocery store. The staff understand that being a student can be tough and help ease your day as you search for books.

This is where you can find all types of Maverick regalia and knick-knacks along with books, papers, pens, pencils ... the usual bookstore stuff. The store is clean and organized. Dont see something you need? The staff has always been helpful to me. Be careful around graduation - it can get a lot busy. You can always shop online, but I suggest you pop into the adjacent Starbucks for a sip. Enjoy!

Review №56

I have to say, I truly love this book store. Ive been to book stores on many different campuses and this one ranks right up near the top. At the beginning of each semester they are so organized and efficient with getting students all the books that they need to succeed during that term. My only complaint would be that all the apparel is super, super, super expensive. make sure that if you buy something on clearance and it says an additional percentage taken off at the register that you asked for it because they will not hand it out freely.

Service was quick and easy. The employees are very friendly and have often given advice about books and classes.

Great place!

Review №66

I made an online purchase two weeks ago and was told I would receive a notice when the item was ready to pick up. No message. I reached out by email last week and was, in my opinion, treated quite rudely by Cindy Medlin, who could not be bothered to look up my order (or even acknowledge the error). I called just now and it appears the item was sold, even though I had already paid for it. Now begins the process of trying to get a refund I guess. Very unprofessional and a waste of my time.

Review №79

Helpful for getting textbooks for school. Price matching available and textbooks are organized by author last name. Has fun school supplies including UTA branded folder/binders and 100% recycled notebooks. The UTA merch (hoodies/ shirts/ cups) are average college store items and make a good gift for alumni. Good gifts include: ties, cups, desk plaques school rings and hats. Although UTA student culture doesnt make a huge deal about representation, the T-shirts are pretty comfortable and make a nice Freshman move-in gift. Like most college stores, it can get a bit pricey, so choose selectively,

The first time I went was okay, but the kiosks were broken and no one seemed to know where they going or what to do. It was too hot the setting was off. Plus, due to the technical issues the lines to purchase books was extremely long and they listed books that were never in stock. Love my school, but they will have to step it up next semester coming soon, yet there is plenty of time.

Worst experience of any bookstore I have ever visited. With the syllabus in hand and ISBN numbers for the package I needed the 3 attendants could not comprehend I needed an individual package of books and not each sold individually.
