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.
This company is a total scam. DON'T USE IT! I've sold a lot of other books via amazon and chegg and have no problems. Valorebooks entices you with free shipping and good quotes but WILL NOT follow through. Happened to me twice. Spread the word and don't let them steal books from anybody else...
Stay away from this place! This company is a scam. I followed all directions and properly mailed my books to their return address and patiently waited for 14 days. I get an email from the company stating that they will not pay me for my book because of "damage", and they will not return the book to me either. This book was in good condition when I mailed it out, with no rips, writing, highlighting, or pages missing. It seems to me that this place just rips people off and takes their books with no intention of actually paying for the property. I will never purchase a book from this company or ever sell a book to them again. Stay Away so you don't get ripped off!
A much needed text book that was listed under "rent textbooks" was in fact for purchase ONLY! And costly. I also found it odd that the used textbooks were less expensive than the ones listed as new... hmm? I ordered from this site mainly because all of my other required books were here are well.
Easy ordering, easy site to navigate. Will reserve a higher rating until after I receive delivery of ordered item. Always love discovering new places to purchase books. Reading is as necessary as breathing for me. Hope to do more business with this co. In the future.
The search engine works bet with a moderate about of info but nothing too specific. Also checkout has a glitch that unless you use an auto filler, will not allow you to click and manually enter State or Zip which is needed to checkout!
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!
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.
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.
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.
This was my first experience buying from ValoreBooks. Wish I'd heard about them before I bought textbooks at the college bookstore or Amazon. I saved more than $100 on ONE textbook.
I just finished my order and found it very easy to place order and pay with a credit card. I'll add more details when I receive the book.
I haven't received a book from ValoreBooks yet so I can't comment on the books. The order and payment page is really bad. If you don't let the system auto populate after filling in the address, it locks you out of the city, state and zip code fields. Who designed this mess? At first glance it appears that you can't place an order. A Google search revealed the solution as others have had this same problem many times. You may want to fix that page.
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!
I ordered two different textbooks at the same time. One was processed and was shipped, while the order for the second book was cancelled due to the specific title being "out of stock." So many college students like myself rely on the availability of certain books, affordable prices and a fast delivery. Usually valorebooks meets those expectations, which is appreciated. But this time those expectations were met halfway.
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.
This book cost $155.17 new but I was able to rent it for $39! Can't do better than that! The used books were $13-$17 more than renting. I wish I would have found ValoreBooks years ago! I've never had a problem getting the book or filling out the order/payment form.
This is my second attempt at ordering books from here. I'm still holding out hope that I'll get a book but my first order was cancelled without me being informed. I had to find out myself because no one had contacted me for a while.
I have always been treated fair when selling my books back and I have never received a book that I was not 100% happy with, They take pride in sending quality materials to students, shipping is fast too! Buy your college books here and save you money and time..
Every Rental i have made which is 4 total have all been in good condition, have arrived fast, and have had not return issues. Return labels are very easy to access, you only need a printer and a bubble wrap bag. Keep up keeping my books at least 90% to 30% cheaper than the cheapest option in my book store.
The website is easy to use and is straight forward. It definitely finds you the best deals. Instead of paying $200 for a chemistry book I'm probably only going to look at for 4 months, I paid $25. Thanks, ValoreBooks!
ValoreBooks are affordable for single mom that in invested in their education. It is a good way to save money and be able to care of your family. You do not have to worry about what bill I can not pay if I buy this book for my class-
Before receiving my books, I find it difficult to give an accurate rating. However, the site was easy to navigate and overall I had a pleasant experience. The one thing I do not like is that a "new" item may not actually be new, which is very problematic when you need access codes and supplemental materials.
The web site suggests regular shipping is by mail, which clearly implies US Mail. But the product begins the journey via some alternate shipping system which has serious internal delays; it is only the last leg of delivery that is done by US Mail.
My package sat in Philadelphia for over a week, nothing moved, until finally it was delivered.
I don't understand the system being used but definitely found it less than clear or efficient.

Hello! Valorebooks would like to apologize for the confusion. Some of our sellers choose to ship items via joint-programs among shipping carriers. Essentially, a larger carrier will ship the book between large cities or across state lines. The package is then delivered to the smaller carrier for local delivery. If you're ever unsure of your tracking information, we recommend contacting your seller directly! Or you can try inputting the number into a search engine for all possible shipping carriers!
This is such a great alternative to buying books full price on campus. Was looking for a book online that cost around $70 on most cites and found it here for under $20. Using this site can certainly save you a lot of money when it comes to those expensive college textbooks!
This company has been my friend through all my college years and I can say its helped me save a lot of money in college. Textbook are very expensive but I was never disappointed when searching for good prices on books. Thank you ValoreBooks! I always recommend you to all my friends.
