Book Outlet Reviews Summary

The company enjoys a generally positive reputation, particularly for its competitive pricing and the quality of its books, which many customers find satisfactory. However, concerns about shipping delays and inadequate packaging frequently arise, leading to damaged items upon arrival. While customer service is often praised for its responsiveness and willingness to resolve issues, there are notable frustrations regarding the lack of proactive communication about order status and the handling of returns for damaged products. Overall, the company demonstrates potential for customer satisfaction but must address logistical and support challenges to enhance the overall experience.

Your site made it crazy easy for me to buy a big stack of large print books for me mom. They were all in one place - which no one else does. Great!

Took a while for books to get to me
November 2, 2022

Took a while for books to get to me.
Also, the boxes were mostly open by the time they go to me. The boxes just didn't hold up in the shipping process. All the books were there though.

I love Book Outlet
November 1, 2022

I love Book Outlet. Great prices with reasonable shipping. The only tweak would be to be able to wishlist books that aren't currently in stock.

No books were adverstised as used
October 31, 2022

No books were adverstised as used. One had a scuffed front cover and another had a lot of dark smudges all over, it was a hard cover so I was able to clean most of them off. Great prices on books but I will be reluctant to order as gifts in the future.

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.
