A beautiful store. Much more suitable than the original location with lots of space. Really expensive for most items, but the cute and plushie items were reasonable, and available in different sizes. If you can get a book or supplies on Amazon through Prime I do not recommend purchasing it from the store. You will most likely find a better price on Amazon with a better return policy. Computers/tablets/software include Apple and Microsoft, though they do have some open hardware in the form of Alienware (as of Dec 2016). While its a great place to eye up a new machine, again, I dont recommend purchasing through the store, go directly to Apple or MS. Keep your eye on sales for peripherals such as printers through the store though, these could be worth your time. If you are looking for OSU themed gifts, this is definitely the place to go. The sheer range of choice is intoxicating. It is also pride of place to take family members to if you want to show off the campus. Being a non profit store, the money spent will be going where its needed. The customer service I have experienced has only been positive and as a veteran I have been treated with respect which I truly appreciate.

I work at the Beaver Store in Academic Materials (textbooks & other college-y stuff). Everyone here works really hard to make sure that students are getting the right textbooks and at the lowest possible price. Everyone assumes that college bookstores are making bank on textbooks (I know that I did), but I assure you that they are DEFINITELY NOT (at least the Beaver Store isnt). The Beaver Store encourages customers to use a price comparison engine available on the stores website; our price is usually on par with or lower than our major competitors prices. Even if you might save $5 going somewhere else, shopping at the Beaver Store means that your money is staying on-campus and being paid as wages to OSU students who work here. Sometimes I wish that Wrecking Ball would get taken out of the stores playlist, but other than that its a great place to work and I hope youll stop by and visit your fellow Beavers sometime!

Really disappointed in the service at the OSU Beaver Store. My mom bought an OSU backpack for my daughter (she wanted it - go Beavs!) this year and the zipper pull came off after light use (shes 9 and is hardly dragging it through the mud!) and the stitching is coming undone. My mom went to exchange it for one that was hopefully not defective and first got the run around and then was told that she was past the date in which their policy allows for exchanges (by 4 days!). Their solution? My mom got a "50% off your next purchase" coupon. Yeah, so she can buy more crappy, marked-up products? Ha! Note to the OSU Beaver Store: if you sell your items at a premium, make sure to buy premium products prior to putting your logo on them. Or at least have the common sense to have good relationships with your suppliers so that you can return defective products. Friends, youve been warned...

The OSU Beaver Store is the #1 source for students, staff, alumni, and fans of textbooks, supplies, technology, and beaver gear. I love that the store is non-profit and uses the sales of beaver gear and other apparel to give students a 10% discount on textbooks - all of your purchases help save us money so that college is slightly more affordable. The new store is 1 million times better than the previous location - its massive in size, clean, well lit, and much more efficient. At the beginning of the term when everyone is buying textbooks the line gets crazy and I thought it was going to take forever, but since there are 22 registers at the new store it only took 10-15 minutes to get from the back of the line to the front. Stay awesome!

I went into the bookstore looking for a new computer. I talked to the guy working by the computers for almost an hour as he helped me find the right computer for me. I told him everything I was looking for and he told me that I probably didnt need a Mac computer (which is mostly what the bookstore carries) but gave me some names of what he thought would be a good fit for me. He even told me about places to get student discounts. Love the customer service that the bookstore offered.

DO Not use this bookstore if you dont live in Oregon. they dont care what you order, or if you pay for expedited shipping. Semester started 3 days ago, and I still dont have my books that were ordered twice! first time the address was screwed up by their order form, they refused to do anything but cancel the order. so i re-ordered, and they wouldnt even expedite my order after i payed for it.

The service and selection areally great! However, when I can find a new book elsewhere for $100 less than they want to charge for a used version, I have to question the claim they are "non-profit". Ive also purchased a book and never even taken it out of the shrink wrap and tried to sell it back at the end of the term and was told they arent buying that book anymore.

In a pinch this place may have a pen or souvenir shirt, but for school supplies, and especially text books, you are getting royally ripped off. Get your school stuff from an office supply store, and GET YOUR BOOKS ON AMAZON or other alternate source (just search for your book and verify you have the correct ISBN) I saved over $300 this term by NOT buying from here.

Lots of expensive Beaver gear. They sell technological devices as well. Textbooks and supplies are rather reasonably priced, with rentals on both new and used textbooks. Cant return a new book if youve opened the plastic wrapper. Have never had issues (fees) when returning a rented textbook. Staff is polite and well versed on store policies.

Is it too much to ask for the website to load? Ive tried every possible way to get to the website, and it WILL NOT LOAD. It times out every single time and trying to access it through different web browsers does nothing. This has been a persistent problem ever since it changed from OSU Bookstore to OSU Beaver Store. FIX IT, PLEASE!

Everything a college kid needs from binders to art supplies, computer and phone accesories. There are usually clothing specials and sales. The Nike gear is pretty spendy but they have clearance sales. The staff is very friendly and they plan for the busy times during school term start.

The new OSU Beaver Store on campus is AWESOME! The expanded selection of merchandise, from OSU branded gear to everyday wear like Lucky Brand and Under Armor are great. The store is conveniently located on campus and provides ample parking in the OSU Parking Garage.

Wonderful selection and very reasonable prices. Although some items may be slightly higher in price their selection makes up for it. Everything "Beavers" under one roof. A little warm inside if you are dressed for a cold day so leave your scarf and beanie in the car.

Visited the new store recently (new to me since the last time I was on campus). Amazing selection of both Beaver and non-Beaver merchandise. Friendly and helpful staff. Definitely look forward to visiting again during Football season!!! Go Beavs!!
