HCC Central College Bookstore - Houston, Texas

J G

The HCC bookstore provides excellent in-person customer service, with friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond to assist students with their needs. The store is well-organized, and the team ensures a positive shopping experience. However, the online services are lacking, with frequent technical issues and delays that make it difficult for students to reliably order materials or access resources. While the in-person experience is top-notch, improvements to the online platform are needed to better serve the entire student body.

They have everything a college student needs. Whether you're just starting your education journey or ready to walk across the stage. The store has notebooks and pens, to backpacks and graduation gowns with hats and tassels. They even have a wide variety of food snacks and drinks. Truly a one stop shop for all a college student's needs.

Sincerely yours,
William Leo Pfrang

Picked up for a friend and the staff was friendlier than in the previous years when I attended.

They, literally, NEVER answer their phones. They also refuse to return messages. I took off early today so I could drive all the way downtown to pick up my books even though all of my classes are online. Their listed hours on their website is 9am-5pm.

Nope, 9am-3pm. Thanks for making me miss out on overtime guys. Good looking out.

The women were extremely helpful especially with my first time using a voucher. The manager answered all my questions.

Its an ok kinda bookstore. Would've been better is the bookstore was inside of the main building.

Why did you not post your new hours? I drove through traffic just to not get the book I needed before the weekend. Your phone message said nothing about being closed on FRIDAY!!!! I paid for parking!!!!

I ordered books for the spring semester, and the order was canceled. I placed the order two more times and the same thing. I never got a message regarding this issue. I talked with the staff, who told me to talk to the manager when she was in, but couldn't say when she would be in. Classes started, and the instructor was a jerk and didn't want to share the link for electronic book access. Dropped the class and re-enrolled in the summer session. The same thing happened, complained and complained. I ordered the book at another campus, and they had it! Told them what happened, and the clerk said that is a real problem at the central campus. Wow!
