“Best prices online!”

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”

Julie R.
3/15/14

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.

For some reason when I tried to place an order it kept saying my payment information was incorrect. I checked and reentered everything several times, but it continued giving me the same error. I ended up waiting days and trying again a couple times. It finally worked. The prices were low but the hassle almost made me look to other websites to get my books.

Excellent you always have my books for me in time for class every semester I have been ordering from you for the last two years and never had any issues or delays. Keep up the great service and I will continue to tell other students, friends, and family members about your services you are really great people,

I've been using Valorebooks.com to purchase all my textbooks for Junior College and now University level education. I've never encountered any problems with their service. They provide books that are still in good quality at an affordable price unlike the bookstores at school. If you are looking to purchase books, then you are at the right place!

I've ordered the wrong books before, and their customer service is super helpful with their return policy. I've been using them for about 2 years now, and I don't think I'll ever go to another site for books. They are very understanding, and extremely reasonable with their pricing on books. Great experience every time!

Check out was easy but auto fill had some issues so I just typed everything to make sure it gets to my daughter at college. Now just have to wait for book to arrive. Hopefully it ships quickly as it says it's in stock?

I had no worries throughout my checkout process. It was easy to find the products I was looking for with many available options to choose from, which I always like. The availability of products as well as cheap prices will keep me coming back. Thank you again.

So far it is great, but I wonder why they want a review 2 seconds after I placed my order? The price is right, and as long as I receive my book on time, and in good shape I will be happy to rate this site higher.

Never had a problem with this website. The books always made it to my location and it's usually cheaper than other websites that I used to use. However, I wish they would offer an option like chegg to have access to an ebook while the delivery it's on it's way.

I get my books so quickly, and if you rent a book, the return is super simple and easy. Valorebooks should be the first and only thought that comes to mind when your in need of reasonable school books, and in good condition. Thanks Valorebooks for making my life easier and stress free

I very seriously considered going to another vendor who had higher prices, but I would be able to trust with my information. Despite how I put in my billing info correctly every time, the payment would not be accepted try after try. I tried using different networks to no avail. I was finally able to do it today without issue on the 1st try, but this is a week and a half after I would have preferred to order my books.

I've been a Chegg lover for my entire schooling and now I'm switching over. ValoreBooks had the textbooks that I needed and for out of this world prices! I saved over $150 by ordering books through ValoreBooks versus my original site. It was easy to use and upfront about pricing. I was able to buy books instead of renting them and it still saved me so much money.

Had the best pricing on book rentals for almost all of the seven text books I need this semester for college. Glad I was able to get some many texts at the price other websites charge to buy or even rent one book!

Very easy. I've purchased and rented both. No problem as of yet! I hate it when I have to have at least 100 letters--I was done after the first three sentences. First time in my life I have been told to keep talking!

This site is great... We have never had a problem getting a book or getting what we need to send our rentals back, when we are done with them at the end of the semester. I find the prices very reasonable as well.

I hope that when my text arrives it is in as good a shape as the description indicated. The price was almost 1/2 the cost of the same book on other sites. I am hopeful that when it is all said and done that this will be a regular site for me to purchase books online. We'll see!

I have no problem jumping on this site to order my books. It has been great so far! Also, I love the prices. They have been very low for a number of books that I had to order. I look forward to jumping on again and ordering some more as I go through college. I would like to thank you for your convenience, availability, and cheap prices.
I will keep it in mind for my sons when they go to college too. Thank you again!

I have used ValoreBooks before and had good luck. This time around, they cancelled 2 of the 5 books my daughter needed. NOT ONE TIME, but TWICE. The worst part about this is that they didn't even notify me that the books were being cancelled. I happened to go onto the website to see what the shipping status was so I could let my daughter know when to expect the books. Here I see it said 'cancelled' and $0.00 charged. Don't promise books if you can't deliver.

They only had one of the three textbooks I needed in that price range, though. Also, when I hit checkout for the first time it took me to a page full of code. That was very confusing. IT worked the second time, and the checkout process was quick, so yeah 4/5 you guys are cool.

I have never had any issues with this book company. They ship on time, rentals are super easy to rent and return, and prices are very affordable. I love these guys and strongly recommend them to any college student looking for books at an affordable price.

This is the first time using this site and I have ebooks already but like to have hard copies at times. It was refreshing to see international books available at a fraction of the cost. We will see how my order goes and will come back with a new review upon completion

I just ordered my book, so waiting to see if i get it fast. I have ordered from this site in the past and have not had any issues, the rental is a decent price. Also, shipping is cheaper than other places.

As others have said avoid this place. I was linked to them from my school's bookstore website so i thought they were legit. I ordered four books. First two didn't show up and seller said I refused them after I waited two weeks to contact them. I never refused the books, but I was refunded. The most expensive book I purchased has not arrived and I'm told I have to wait 30 days to file for a refund on that one. Last book was not correct book and I guess I'll find out how they handle this. So four book and four failures thus far. Not the stress you want in the beginning of a semester.

Book was easy to find and it is listed at best price of all the sites I checked, to include a reasonable shipping fee. The one thing I did not like about this buying experience is it did NOT provide an estimated shipping date either before or after my purchase was finalized. Therefore, I have no idea when to expect this book to arrive.
