Massive bookshop queue (2 Viewers)

[Rextu]

If books are ordered online, do we still have to queue up?

 

[scarybunny]

As in the copy centre?

Yeah, but the line is shorter. Walk past the line, down the little corridor and on the other side of the copy centre is a shorter line for internet pick ups.

The line is to ensure that the Co-op isn't full of students which can make logistical activities impossible. I believe you do still have to queue up.

 

[Rextu]

Yeah, it was the texts from the Co-op I was talking about before and dang, looks like there's no way to avoid the queue.

As for the copy centre, do they have their own website somewhere?

 

[scarybunny]

You can get to the copy centre website from the Mystudy page on Myuni I think, at the bottom.

Didn't know you could preorder co-op books. Give it a week and the line will die down OR go in at 830am before class.

What's the line next the co-op bookshop for?

 

[scarybunny]

Copy centre. Course readers and the like.

The Copy Centre

I bought my textbooks during o-week. No lines at all. wonderful.

 

[scarybunny]

I prefer to wait until after the first tutorial, or until someone confirms which books we need. I've bought a few books early that tutors have later said we didn't need.

 

[KarmaKitten]

Or incase you end up changing subjects which I did this week. Besides first tutes are pointless get to know each other rubbish anyways.

coop is fine really early (8:30/9ish) or quite late (after 5:30)

copy centre is best in mornings, but yes, you can pre order.

I lined up for my Unicard, Access card and coop bookshop. Took me bloody forever. Probably should have woken up earlier.

 

[housah0lic]

oh is it always heaps long? i only need to pick up one thing and fuck me if i'm lining up in that queue.

First week of uni co-op line is long. The wait isn't THAT long imo, late arvo is bearable.

If you need something from the copy centre, best way is to order it online. Express line ftw!

co-op is good at 8am when it opens...apart from wasting 15 minutes trying to find the books i actually needed, i only ended up waiting to pay for them for about 5min. Pretty good really.

 

[kokodamonkey]

you should go in the mon-tues before o-week and do everything then there are no lines!

yeah but I wanted to wait until I knew that I actually needed all the books...too many times have I been told that certain ones aren't really necessary. Easier to wait for the outline and actually see how much required reading there is for a particular book and then deciding whether you need it.

 

[jayadore]

Alternatively, find the books online for cheaper and with no wait. E.g. textbookexchange or bookdepository if you need novels.

I haven't bought a textbook from co-op since first year but I really need my moleskin.

Lol I swear, that line is perrma-long.

Went to the george st. one t'day with some mates and there are like no lines there.

I recommend this one.
