Ordering textbooks with pre-pack service means not having to deal with figuring out what books are needed for what section of what course, scurrying around the shelves to find them, then standing in a line out the door to buy them… who (other than a total masochist) wants to do that?

The easiest option by far is to fill out a pre-pack form and Barnes & Noble at UNC Charlotte will do the rest:

  • Get your schedule online through Banner Self Service;
  • Find the books you need;
  • Ship them to your home or have them ready for express pick-up, packed in and easy-to-carry box.

Pre-pack service has even more compelling advantages than convenience:

  • When you reserve textbooks by July 15, the bookstore will guarantee to process your order over the Sales Tax Summer Holiday, saving you 7.25% in sales tax;
  • You’ll have access to the best supply of rental and used books. Rental and used books are sold on a first-come-first-served basis. By turning in a pre-pack form early, you’ll have the highest chance of saving 25% with used books and 50% with rental program textbooks.

Barnes & Noble at UNC Charlotte has the best selection textbooks (new, used, rental and eBooks) in the area, along with supplies and a huge inventory of 49er gear and apparel. Most importantly, this is YOUR campus bookstore. B&N at UNC Charlotte:

  • Funds scholarships;
  • Contributes to building and maintaining facilities like the Student Union and sports complexes;
  • Supports 49er Athletics, Homecoming, SOAR and other programs;
  • Provides on-campus employment to over 100 students a year.

Support the bookstore that supports Niner Nation the most, and at the same time, support your own need to save sales tax, time and trouble. Reserving your textbooks by mailing, faxing, or bringing the pre-pack form to the bookstore by July 15.
