Amazon textbook contract ending in December 2018 : The Massachusetts Daily Collegian

"Amazon has been known on campus for their student deals and fast shipping. But as of December 2018, this may change. On Monday evening, Student Government Association (SGA) President Anthony Vitale announced that Amazon will be ending its contract as the official textbook provider for the University of Massachusetts in December 2018. “If you ordered through the Amazon Store, you got the benefit of the Prime shipping rate and textbook special offers and special deals,” Vitale said. What some may consider to be convenient textbook sales won’t completely be lost though, since Amazon will still be selling textbooks online. “They just won’t be doing it through the University Prime deal that we have associated with them,” Vitale said."
