Awesome experience
September 7, 2022

I was looking to replace a new book that I had given away. I found it immediately, the price was great, the condition was advertised as good, but when it arrived the condition was like never used. I was notified when shipped, with tracking and it arrived promptly in what is important to me, environmentally safe packaging. I look forward to do more business with Book Outlet.
Cheers,
Lynne

Great Prices
September 6, 2022
Updated review

Really love this website. They have awesome prices and always have a great selection. It's like Christmas morning when my order arrives! I love looking for new authors I've never read before. I wish the site could organize books by series order, it would make it easier to know if the book is the first or a later novel in a series.

Chapters did not have the Crossword Puzzle books in stock so I ordered from Book Outlet and the delivery was free, fast and the price about 20% cheaper than Chapters. I would order from Book Outlet again.

My go to bookstore...
September 6, 2022

Often I can find specific books I look for. On the times I can't, I often find many interesting books I did not know about to order instead. I tend to put in a large order, read my way through, and order again.

Orders arrive promptly and I have been very happy with the experience.

Hard to get books
September 6, 2022

Hunted all the local stores in my area and couldn't find the Titles I wanted anywhere. Went on the net and found the Book Outlet, they had what I wanted for an awesome price. Had my books in a week, thank you!

Book outlet review
September 5, 2022

Good quality, price and speed. I would really appreciate to get a packing slip though. And my credit card was compromised on line somewhere, either at Book Outlet or Amazon.

My go to for books
September 5, 2022

There are a few things about this company I'm not a fan of, but overall it's still the best place to buy books at a discount in Canada. The shipping takes a little while and sometimes the books you order you won't actually receive since they are actually out of stock.

Postal Loser
September 5, 2022

The book prices and selection are top notch and the ordering process is easy. However, for the fourth time this year Canada Post has lost my Book Outlet order and basically has never done anything to rectify the situation For that reason I will not be ordering again unless another delivery provider can be used.

I love to read books. Not on an electronic device but hard copy books. I look for them at the thrift stores and used books stores all the time but this time I wanted a specific series that I couldn't locate. Not only did the book outlet have them but they had Autographed copies, signed by the author. The price just a dollar more than the thrift store. I will be keeping these signed copies in my personal collection of my favourite books. The delivery took just under a week and at no cost to me. Couldn't be happier!

Great customer service
September 3, 2022

A very helpful company to deal with. The initial order of books delivered was stolen off my front porch but when I contacted customer service they were so quick to send a replacement. Will definitely be using them again.

A wonderful place to shop!

Updated review

I love this online shop SO MUCH! The deals are excellent. They have great sales! I bought awesome activity packages as well as books for my niece and nephews at great prices. I don't want to shop anywhere else anymore! They cover nearly every genre and there are books here my library doesn't even have. There's a free shipping option too! What's not to love!?

When the CEO or other people on top send a note, means they care and we are more apt to re-order and spead your name Tanks.

Wet Delivery
October 2, 2022

Whomever delivered this book left it out in the rain. The book was damp when package opened.

From the business

The only thing better than a good book is a good book at half the price…or more. And that’s what we offer. All our books are brand new and discounted at least 50% off publishers’ list prices. Book Outlet is your haven, full of excess publishers’ inventory eagerly waiting to find their way into the hands of readers like you.

So go on, get lost in the pages of a great book and revel in the thrill of a good deal that awaits you every day.

WARNING: Bookworms have been known to lose track of time, neglect household chores, and cancel plans. Side effects may include an insatiable desire to read, an expanding TBR pile, and an occasional book hangover. Proceed with enthusiasm.
