"We're thrilled that the iconic orange Chegg box that students recognize and love is now officially the world's largest cardboard box !" said Tina Couch , vice president of public relations at Chegg .

    "But, we're even more excited about being able to come to UCLA and talk to students about renting their textbooks. Once they hear how easy it is and how much money they can save, it's a no-brainer."

Chegg has an inventory of more than 2.4 million titles, offering savings at more than 6,400 colleges and universities across America. Not only do students save a ton of money by renting, but there is no need to wait in line at the bookstore.
    Textbooks are shipped in the iconic orange box in less than a week and return postage is free. For every book rented, Chegg plants a tree through its partnership with American Forests. To date, Chegg has planted more than 850 acres of trees or the equivalent of 650 Rose Bowls.

This new world record for the Largest Cardboard Box is eclipsing the previous Guinness world record of 42 ft x 16 ft x 8 ft set just two weeks ago, in New York.
