And they will charge me $50 for making an online order.

Why are we romanizing middle-men between you and a web form?

In my experience, gavinsyancey is correct. If the situation arises, you should give it a try. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised.
Bro, just email the bookstore. Going through a middle man designed/optimized to rip both you and the bookstore off (some SAAS bookstore site solution) of course jacks the price up.

At this point, if it's online, it's worse/crap/designed to screw you and whoever you are dealing with as much as it can get away with.
