Once the semester is over, books are returned with a free return shipping label,〔 or in person at 11 depots.〔 The company also set up a service to buy back used books,〔 either by paying cash for books dropped off at a depot location near campus, by providing a free shipping label from the website to ship the books to the company.〔 In 2013, Textbookrental.ca raised $415,000 of seed funding, mainly from Seek Capital, to expand its business.〔( "TextbookRental.ca snares $415k seed cash, just in time for school" ).
