At this time TextbookRush does not purchase commercial rental copies of DVD or Blu-rays, like those from Redbox.

To find your item, please search by the title or UPC located on the back of the case. Make sure to select the correct condition and version of your disc to receive the correct quote.

A new DVD or Blu-ray is one that has never been played. It contains all of the materials it came with, including the proper case and instructions. It is possible for it to have been previously owned, but still be in new condition.

A used DVD or Blu-ray may have been played frequently. It can have minor scratches but must be playable and in 100% working condition. Used DVD or Blu-rays must contain the original case and pamphlet for the quoted price to be valid. If either or both the case and instructions are missing, the quote will be reduced by 50%. At this time, we do not purchase DVD or Blu-rays that are commercial rental copies, like those from Redbox.

We buy discs in new and used condition.

• Brand new - They have not been played and are still in plastic wrap.
• Used - May have been played once, twice, or several times. Used discs must be sent with the original case and pamphlet in order for the price quote to valid. We do not buy heavily scratched / damaged games or games that do not work. These items will be discarded and not returned to you. We also do not buy commercial rental copies, like those from Redbox.

Many titles have multiple versions available. Make sure to select the correct version of your movie to receive the correct quote.

Prices are based on the condition and UPC of the product received in our warehouse. If the condition or UPC does not match the product as you entered it, your quote will be adjusted to the proper payment for the item received. Please give accurate information about your item and pack your shipment well. Please review our packaging guidelines to ensure the safe arrival of your item(s).

If you send an item that we cannot purchase, it will be recycled. Remember, we do not buy any disc that have severe scratches / damage, does not work or is a commercial rental copy.

TextbookRush will provide you with a prepaid shipping label that you can print out from your computer. Delivery Confirmation is included with the label, so you can verify that the item successfully arrived at our location. The cost of this label is billed to us, so you never have to worry about it. Need more labels? No problem, just visit your account and click on the buyback in question. Then click “Add a shipping label.” You can request as many free labels as you need.

Shipping methods:

• A dual FedEx/ USPS prepaid label is the carrier for your buyback. This service guarantees delivery in 3-7 business days. Drop off packages at the nearest FedEx drop off location, United States Post Office, or arrange for a free pickup from the United States Postal Service by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS. When dropping off your package, please select a United States Post Office, FedEx-staffed center, FedEx Office, or FedEx Authorized ShipCenter. Do NOT use a FedEx drop box to ship your package-it will not be processed or delivered. If you call to schedule a pickup, make sure to mention you have a “return label”.

Please note that these times are estimates and we are not liable for delays that are out of our control.

Please be sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer. If you do not have this software, you can get Adobe Reader here for free.

FedEx guarantees delivery in 1-5 business days. Each order shipped via FedEx is automatically insured. USPS Ground usually takes 4-14 business days to arrive. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance when shipping your buyback to us via USPS Ground; however optional insurance for USPS Ground packages is not an expense TextbookRush covers. If you ship your buyback order to us using USPS Ground, TextbookRush is not responsible for packages lost in transit, however, buybacks shipped through FedEx are insured for $100 per label.

After your buyback is received, it usually takes 1-3 business days to check-in your discs and additional 5-10 business days to issue payment via check and 1 business day to issue payment via PayPal or Store Credit. During peak buyback periods, processing may take longer. Peak periods are usually late December through January and late May through June.

FedEx does not operate on holidays or weekends. Therefore, buybacks submitted during those periods may receive a USPS Ground shipping label instead of a FedEx shipping label. Please note that both the FedEx and USPS Ground labels are pre-paid, so the shipping charges are billed to TextbookRush.
