Saved more than half on pricey textbooks offered by other sites. Arrived promptly and in good condition. Am back again to order some other items. Even with shipping costs still saved a lot of money...
This site is absolute garbage. I have literally been waiting nearly a month (ordered it Feb 17, now March 15) for a textbook to arrive. They have no phone number, and no method of contact other than a message through their own server, from which you receive automated messages. I swear their textbooks are sent from Africa via Swallow Mail. I stupidly gave them another chance after they took a over a month with one of my books before. My suggestion is cough up the extra money for Chegg or Amazon, I can't pay via credit card for the time I have lost and how I've fallen behind in class without the book.
Looking at all these negative reviews, I'm shocked. Maybe I'm just very lucky...
I've ordered from Valorebooks 3-4 times. Took a little research to find the book I wanted, but I always got what I expected, and saved hundreds of dollars overall by buying the international paperback editions.
I even did my first textbook rental last year... no complaints.
Tip for consumers:
Buy international paperback editions for cheapest price.
The books are cheaper in comparison to Amazon.com. ValoreBooks is very transparent. They explain the condition of every book. They attended to me promptly when I had some difficulty checking my orders out via chat. Their products represent value for money.

I am so glad this was here to use because my amazon order just vanished after checking on it over a month.
This is for school and very important. I do wish I could have picked the type of shipping.
Thanks

I am waiting on my book. They don´t even have a phone number to find out about your book. What review are u asking before service? It does not make sense. Please ask for review after delivery of the order so that we can have something valuable to rate and say about your services. Thank you
As a student I've found this site invaluable. I buy most of my text books here. In several cases they offered the international edition and every time it was exactly the same at a fraction of the price! No need to hesitate, you won't likely find a better deal anywhere.
I sent in 3 books on 3/29/17 and have not received any payment. When I inquired a month later it showed the package still in transit. Mind you, the quote is only good for 30 days. Shipping FEDEX takes more than 30 days, really? Beware of this company. SCAM!
Worst company ever! Ordered from them on a Tuesday via Expedited Shipping (3-4 Days) and it's now Wednesday of the following week and I still haven't seen my books! So not only did I get robbed with extra shipping charges, I also missed my first three assignments for the semester! I've called countless times to speak with a rep and all they tell me to do is contact their Rental Marketplace via email because they can't help me! I work in Hospitality so I know when someone is giving me the run-around! Don't spend your money on this deceitful company!
I've never had luck finding listing that state whether or not supplemental materials are included. I was able to find some great prices on used listings that clearly stated that the supplements will be included. Thank you!
The price is right, I didn't like only having 5 minutes to finish checking the other required books I need, and ordering. More time would be a little less pressure and I don't think you'd loose too many sales with your good prices.
Thank you so much for providing such great prices for those of us who have to buy their own books! I will definitely continue buying textbooks from this site and recommend it to my friends and acquaintances.
I have saved hundreds of dollars on textbooks for college using this website. They are highly reliable and I am always notified when my book is supposed to arrive. It also has fast shipping which is perfect since school doesn't normally tell us which books to buy until a week and a half before school starts.
This website is easy to use, I like that there are all formats of the textbooks needed. Its nice to be able to either rent, buy new or used. I've never not found a text book I was looking for. They even have international options. The returns are easy. I do kinda think that its ridiculous to offer textbook buy backs and it being one penny, that would be my only complaint at least make it worth a dollar because whats the point in selling 12 textbooks and only getting under $1.
The prices on the books were great. However, as many other reviews mention, their shopping cart is a mess. It intentionally uses Google Maps to populate the City, State and Zip. And it GM can't get it right, sorry about your luck. No manually changing those fields. Even the customer service people say they can't change it. And this is intentional. I had to use a neighbors address to place my order. The customer service chat was fast and friendly, just not able to do anything about the system. Now lets hope all the books I ordered get delivered without any issues.
Thank you for the convenience of your ValoreBooks website! I ordered several of my text books at this site because they were less expensive and there was more variety of used books from which to choose.
Same city, state, zip issues. They want you to use their drop down 'guess' address menu instead of letting you enter it in. This is not a normal data field entry selection for most people and I almost gave up. They're surely missing out on a lot of orders from people who don't try it again and by chance click on the little pop up when putting in the street to make it fill out the rest.
Started this book shopping for school and some sites are stupid hard to navigate prices were too high... Anyway, I found my way to this site and got both books at a decent price and expedited shipping which was cool. Thanks!
Valorebooks.com is the worse excuse for a middle man. Their shipping speeds barely equal that of the early American pony express. You pay the same cost of standard shipping and receive it weeks later than standard speeds. They're customer service matches that of a socially frightened robot. First they ask you to contact the seller for questions before contacting them. Once the seller never responds and you do contact valorebooks, they send you a response thats copied and pasted from their FAQ section on the topic of your concern and soes not address your particular problem or question. Never use this site. Chegg.com is a much better service oriented provider for book purchases and rentals.
The order form only lets you type in the street address portion, and then uses google maps to fill in the zip code, city and state. This doesn't work because for many college students they have PO boxes through their university which have different addresses than the street address. I was forced to enter an incorrect address and now I'm just hoping the textbook gets here on time.
Don't sell anything using this company. It is a scam. They will offer you money for your books to hook you up to later only accept a couple of them. Good luck with getting your books back. I have 2 orders ******* and ******* in that situation from september and until this date I have yet seen either my books returned or the money for both transactions. Shame on you valorebooks.com"
I hate to say it but this company cannot live up to its promise. The online system was unresponsive and slow. After three attempts the system said, "order accepted". I got an email indicating the order is being processed. The about 10 days later my order was cancelled. Suggest saving yourself time and frustration. Look elsewhere for your books.
When trying to fill out the mailing and billing address, your system automatically rejects addresses that do not appear. This makes it impossible for people like me, who use P. O. Boxes and not street addresses, to order. Thanks but no thanks.
If I could give zero stars I would! Stay away from this company! It is an absolute scam and fraudulent business. I used the site to sell back textbooks and first they gave me very low offers for extremely expensive textbooks. I understand that most companies won't give you much for buyback textbooks so I was understanding at this point. However once you send them your textbooks, they will come up with ridiculous excuses for why they are not acceptable and refuse to pay what was agreed upon. At that point you are either forces to forfeit your books to them or pay a ridiculous amount to have them shipped back to you. This is clearly a play to steal the expensive textbooks without ever paying back what was agreed upon because most people will just choose to forfeit. If you ever want to see the money you're owed or get your textbooks back to sell somewhere else then DO NOT USE ValoreBooks!
