Much too easy!
February 14, 2018

With only 3 clicks I was able to place an order for my book (that was a ridiculously low price!) without being hassled to set up an account. The price for purchasing my book beat out many other websites rental pricing, and I'll have my book in about a week. I'll definitely reuse this service!

Uncertain
February 12, 2018

In theory it seems great, although there was very little information when I ordered the book. For example, I don't know if I'm just getting an access code or if I'm getting the full textbook. Didn't really specify. I'm only really interested in the access code, so as long as that works, there's no problem, but I'd like to have a better idea of what I'm buying.

RELIABLE
February 12, 2018

This is the third time I have used ValoreBooks. The prices usually surpass most other booksellers. I receive my books on time or before the scheduled time.

Excellent prices
February 10, 2018

Excellent prices on this website. Very easy to navigate and way more affordable than amazon. Shipping times were reasonable and I needed two books for an upcoming class so I looked on amazon and was looking at spending 285 dollars. Came to Valore books and spent 61 dollars instead. Love it!

A little worried
February 10, 2018

I order from Valorebooks often, and never really have an issue, but the fact that the checkout forces me to use my home address and not my P. O. box scares me. If my order doesn't come to my P. O. box I don't get it, so I have to be paranoid that it won't come until it does.

It wouldn't let you enter a city or state manually, forced you to enter a street address, even though my school doesn't usually use one.

Reliable...
February 2, 2018

Easy to browse and the choice of new, rental or used affordable books! The only part they can maybe work on is add an estimated time of arrival prior to ordering books.

GOD SENT!
February 2, 2018

Books are affordable to purchase and rent than Amazon and Chegg! I love it and I thank you.:-) This was my third purchase and I haven't been disappointed yet. A student with limited funds would appreciate this hidden gem.

I was able to find my textbook at a lower price and save a lot of money. I am a university student and saving money is essential when buying my books.

You guys should stop buying textbooks for $200 or more. I bought my Physics textbook for $24 because it was an international edition and the information was not different from the American books.
