How long does it take for Amazon to restock a textbook?

I ordered one of my textbooks a week ago from Amazon, but the book is still out of stock. I looked for my textbook at other sites, but the Amazon copy was the cheapest. Should I wait for Amazon to eventually restock my textbook or just spend the extra money and get my book now?



My class starts next Wednesday and I know it is required for the class (the professor has already put up the syllabus).How long does it take for Amazon to restock a textbook?
Online inventory isn't always accurate. They could say available but in fact, it's really on backordered. So it could take a while. It happens all the time.How long does it take for Amazon to restock a textbook?
Since you just never know......

It's simple, when you want it now, buy it somewhere else. Amazon can take 21 days to restock.How long does it take for Amazon to restock a textbook?
It varies how long it could take to restock the book, that's to the publisher, and the printer, and the distributor. Big companies like Amazon usually have a standing order with their suppliers. Also you should know that Amazon is only one of many places to get your books. I use http://www.bigwords.com They are a textbook search engine that searches all the online textbook retailers (including amazon, half, ebay etc) and rental sites (including chegg, bookrenter etc) to find you the best prices. You can even use them at the end of the semester to search for resellers to sell your books to.
