I have been shopping here since the late 70s. ANYTHING you need associated with ECU they have! They have an unbelievable selection of pirate wear and it seems I always find something new I didn’t see last time. If you like ECU, you must check this store out!!

Prices seemed very fair if not better than other stores that carry ECU merchandise and they had a wide selection to choose from.Staff was also extremely helpful and offered me a coupon at the register to use right then even though I was buying it anyway

Great selection! When I lived in Greenville, this is where I would go for all of my ECU apparel. Now living back up north, I get my stuff off of their website. All of the merchandise is well made, I remember having an ECU tshirt in every color and they lasted for years until I wore them out with time. Living in Greenville, although not for long, was a special time for me, UBE helps me remember it. Thanks!

We are a family of ECU alums, and die hard Pirate fans. The University Book Exchange, AKA UBE, is always a must stop when we are in Greenville. They have a huge selection of Pirate Wear along with anything else that a student or an alum could want. The staff is always helpful and we always walk away happy.

First of all, the young ladies working here are always a pleasure to deal with. They helped me find the items I wanted quickly and courteously. These are traits important to the ole Pirate Alumni that come here to shop and reminisce. Keep up the good work and Go Pirates!!

If you want to find overpriced, mostly out of stock items to support your terrible university...shop here!!!!Here at UBE we promise to make every store visit an absolute nightmare that will leave you never wanting to shop here again!!!Did we mention our holiday sale? Doesn’t matter! We don’t have anything in stock! In fact, we’re not even sure why we even open the doors every morning when it’s clear none of our employees actually care or want to be here!!!So come into UBE today! Or don’t...nobody cares...

We love shopping at UBE when we are in town. We can find ECU gear, sorority items and Vera Bradley all in one place! They have great gift items, too. Our ECU students buy textbooks here but I enjoy shopping.

Great atmosphere, helpful employees and everything students need to get through the year. Books are reasonably priced and I enjoyed the extras such as posters, supplies, ECU gear, Vera Bradley, Burts Bees and the extensive Art and Graphics department upstairs. One stop shopping for students and fans alike!

I will never be back in this store again. I had not turned in my rental book because I had not received reminders to do so like all of my friends had. The book was 11 days late, and I received a charge of over $100 to my credit card. However, when I found my receipt, it said that the policy is $1 for every day the book is late. I asked Charles, who I assume is a manager of sorts there, why I had been charged the amount of the book if the $1/day was their policy. I also asked, At what point is the full price of the book charged? He responded with It can be as early as one day after the book is late. This was completely astounding to me. He did not even give me a set amount of days, so he obviously does not have a great grasp of the policy or why it is the way that it is. Extremely unprofessional. He acted like I was lucky he was even refunding the money. Maybe if they had actually put the email down the way I said it, there would not be any late books (: Also, get more sorority items in other than AOII. Nothing is wrong with that sorority, but its pretty pathetic that there is a sh* ton of AOII stuff and only a teeny bit of other sorority stuff. Even it out a little like an actual serious business would.

I used to LOVE shopping at UBE when I was in college. Pricing and selection was always better than the student store. Now, I dont even want to go there unless I see a sidewalk sale. Their prices have gotten astronomical. I dont want to go in because I know I will find something I like buy am not willing to pay $40 for a t-shirt or $30 for an infant onesie. They also have a much smaller selection of things like actual school supplies as more of the store has been taken over by merchandise and school paraphernalia. That being said, they do have am amazing selection of ECU logo items. Also, they didnt tell me as I was buying sale items, but they will only give you a gift card or store credit when returning sale items, so be warned. All in all, I am saddened at what UBE has become with its increasing popularity. It now gouges you with priced when trying to show some heart for your school.

Great store for offering ECU logo apparel etc... UBEs Art supply is the best in town.The closest art supply store that beats UBE (for things UBE does not carry, specialty items, and selection) is in Raleigh (Jerrys Artarama).Be careful when buying things on sale or clearance. You may be denied a return.
