Are all textbooks used in classes sold at the Co-op?

We are working hard to sell everything that the co-op knows about.
However, there are some things that we have not been able to grasp for the reasons described later.

Why are some textbooks listed in the syllabus or specified in the course but not listed on the textbook website?

There are several possible reasons.

  • It was not listed in the syllabus when the Co-op obtained it.
    → Co-op information is based on the syllabus information in early March, but it may be updated at a later date.
  • I didn't get a call from my teacher.
    →We have sent out a request to let us know if you would like to use the textbook, but we have not been able to fully grasp it.
  • In the first place, it is not a book or a general circulation product.
    →In the case of handouts, some items are not listed.

The textbook I want to buy is out of stock, will you restock it?

Product information will be added as soon as the schedule for restocking is confirmed, so please check the textbook site.
Even if there is no expected arrival due to circumstances such as the publisher's out of stock, it will be described.

Why do out-of-stocks occur in the first place?
Do you know in advance how many people will be attending the class?

If it is a compulsory course, it is easy to estimate the number of students who will take it, but the reality is that it is difficult for elective courses.
(We will know the final number of students in late April.)

Why are some books out of print or out of print even though they are designated as textbooks?

There are certain conditions for reprinting books (reprinting and distributing out-of-stock books), and if the conditions are not met, reprints will not be made.
As a co-op, we contacted the publisher with the information that ``Mr.
There may be support such as substituting printouts or recommending alternative books, so please check in the first class.
We will do our best to contact the teacher in charge as much as possible.
If you really want to obtain the actual item, please kindly search the library collection or old books by yourself.

How long will it take to receive it?

For in-store pick-up, we aim to send an email within 2 business days after placing the order, and for home delivery, we aim to ship within 2 business days after confirming payment.
However, if there are a large number of orders, it may take about 1-2 business days.
(Business days are weekdays only *Excluding busy season)

Will I be able to pick it up in time for class to start?

As mentioned above, please allow at least 3-4 business days from the time you place your order for delivery.
Not all courses require a textbook from the first class.
There are times when the textbook is not used in the guidance for the first time, so it seems that there are some people who wait and see how things go except for compulsory subjects.

Can I specify the delivery date and time of delivery?

We are sorry, but we do not accept it at the time of your order.
This is because if the specified work increases, the shipment will be delayed, and as a result, many people will be inconvenienced.
We will inform you of the package number as soon as it is shipped, so if you cannot receive it, please specify a redelivery.

Are there any stocks of textbooks at the book club store?

Until 4/26, we will not stock the book department on the 1st floor.

After receiving the textbook [Komaba]

Can I return or exchange textbooks that I have already paid for?

We accept in the following cases.
Reply to the order confirmation email on the textbook site, orInquiry formPlease contact us from
It would be helpful if you could write down the reason as soon as you find out.

1) When a defect that originally existed in the product is found (improper printing, defective binding, etc.)

2) If there is damage that seems to have occurred during delivery

3) If the item and the actual product are different (the product is different, the quantity is different)

4) If you are unable to take the course due to the number of students taking the course or the lottery.

5) If a product different from the syllabus is posted on the textbook website

6) If you mistakenly order the same product multiple times (in this case, please bear the handling fee such as return shipping fee)

It's listed as a textbook in the syllabus, but when I actually attend class, my teacher says, "I won't use the textbook."

In the past, there have been cases such as the following.

1. Mishearing
For example, please check whether you have misunderstood the categories of textbooks and reference books.

2. The syllabus was changed after the class started
In 2020, some textbooks were changed to reference books.
Co-op may not be able to keep track of such changes.
If you are not satisfied, the Co-op will contact the teacher in charge to confirm the facts.Inquiry formPlease contact us from
