Increasingly, parents are turning to online sales to equip their children for back to school. Because it is more practical, faster and avoids having to go through libraries to get textbooks for our children. In addition, we can get discounts and very convenient prices from the comfort of home.
Although there is still summer to enjoy, the return to school is approaching and the most expectant parents already think of where to buy textbooks for the next 2018-2019 school year. Like we did last year, we bring you seven online sites where you can buy books for back to school.
Amazon: comfort and speed
Amazon returns to us this year its online tool where we can buy textbooks for the next course. It's called Cole's Books and allows you to locate the list of textbooks of each course by school. Entering your province and municipality of residence, your child's school and the course, you will see the list of books requested by the center.
The advantage is that it saves you having to locate the book one by one. Once you have them located, you can choose which ones to include in the basket (some or all) and pay for them. The database is very large and includes the majority of schools in Spain, but if your center does not appear, you can search for books by ISBN in the 'Textbooks' section of Back to school.
For purchases over ninety euros in primary and secondary books, you receive 10 euros gift for the next purchase in the store back to school. If for any reason there is an error, you can return them until October 15. He shipping in 24-48 hours, and free in one day for Prime customers.
El Corte Inglés: finances you back to school
The English Court also has an online sale for textbooks, which can be found in the search engine through the ISBN (the 13-digit digit that identifies each book). When introducing it, the book appears with the option to buy it online and receive it at home before September 1 (a disadvantage if we compare it with the speed of Amazon) or pick it up at the centers of El Corte Inglés or Supercor. Shipping is free.
Customers with the El Corte Inglés Purchase Card can finance the costs of going back to school through the open account with which you can pay everything you have purchased (textbooks, material, uniforms, stationery, etc.) from October 31, 2018 in a payment or financed in three, six and ten installments to throughout the school year.
Carrefour: 10 euros gift for school supplies
In the Textbooks section of Carrefour you can find the book by entering the ISBN (without hyphens) or directly the title, or if you prefer, guided by the menu on the left according to subject, course and editorial.
For every 70 euros of purchase in compulsory Primary and Secondary books, they give you 10 euros for the next purchase in stationery, school bags, computers and textiles between August 16 and September 30, 2018.
As for shipments, you receive them for free in 2-3 working days or you can pick them up personally in the hypermarket and it has financing in three months without interest for customers with the Pass card.
Casa del Libro: price and service
You can also buy the school books in the Textbooks section of The House of the Book. You have two ways to search your textbooks. You can search the teaching centers for the lists of books of the entire course provided by the schools or search for them by entering the ISBN or EAN13 number of the books. If you search by center, check the list of books that the search gives you because there may be changes or errors. Have very convenient prices if we compare them with other platforms.
You also have a reservation form available to order at your nearest bookstore. Like the previous ones, the shipping costs are free for purchases over 19 euros (2-3 working days) and gives you the option to pick them up at the store or at a collection point. In addition, it has the advantage that if you return the books before the start of classes, they will return your money.
Agapea bookstores: low competitive prices
The Agapea textbook section only allows to search by ISBN or by course. He doesn't have your school's list. You find books for children, primary (for all autonomous communities), secondary, high school as well as holiday books and books for higher grades.
As for shipping policy, it is in clear disadvantage with its competitors, as in prices. Shipping costs with free for purchases over 49 euros and the delivery price is between 1 and 15 working days.
Dideco: discount for large families
Like last year, I bring the purchase of textbooks from the Dideco Toy Store, since although it is not cheaper than its competitors, it has a 10 percent discount for large families with the customer card through your online purchase.
As for delivery, in 48 hours and if the purchase exceeds 90 euros, the shipping is free (on the peninsula). They give you a 10% discount voucher for your next purchase in stationery and toys.
Edelvives Point: multi-territorial sale
In the Edelvives online store you can buy both books from your editorial like all other publishers. You can copy and paste the list of your school with ISBN numbers, identify them and give you the result, or search each book separately with its corresponding number.
If you go ahead and buy your books before July 15, it has free shipping and special discounts. It has free financing from 100 euros (divided into three payments). 0.7% of the benefits of your purchase will go to school aid in Ghana (Africa).
Here you have seven places where you can buy textbooks of your children for the back to school 2018-2019. You will have to access one by one to compare prices and assess which one offers you the best offer and the best service. You may not find such a difference in price and the discount or financing suits you more.
But also, in the next few days, or we will bring some textbook price comparators. They are places where you put the ISBN of the book you need and you look for the best prices of several libraries (although they do not include all the sites that we leave here). Good luck with the purchase. Cheer up!
