Awesome and Fast.
September 2, 2017

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!

This is the worst textbook rental company I have ever dealt with. I have had many problems in the past such as receiving the wrong book. I tried contacting them to get the correct book that I ordered and I never received responses to my many attempts. Shipping took a very long time and continued being delayed. Thought I would give them another chance this semester so I ordered another book a week and a half ago which was expected to arrive in 3-5 days. Well here we are a week and a half later and I still do not have the book and there is no tracking information available. Even though the prices are cheap, I strongly recommend ordering from another company so you will be guaranteed to receive your books.

Just waiting on shipment
September 2, 2017

So far everything is stellar. I am simply waiting for the book to come in. My rating could go up or down depending on how fast I receive my book.

If you are looking to get a book for a class and it is at $200 you are usually overpaying, valorebooks offers international copies for a much more reasonable price that student are able to pay and not go nuts with high priced books. I found the book I need for a little more than $200 but the international price was for only $14.

Easy to use site
August 31, 2017

I would have given 5 stars if it were clear the book I ordered was listed as a paperback. I assume it is based on price ($15).

Appreciated all of the buyer options, but when I went to check out, the program would not accept college dorm mailing address.

Very pleased
August 31, 2017

Found the book for my class for much less than the cost at the bookstore or any other online site! Very satisfied with the savings. Have used the site before, so I don't have to question the legitimacy.

The books I have ordered where in "Like New" condition. No torn or marked up pages. They looked brand new! And I saved about $100. Thank you, Valore Books!

Poor customer service
August 29, 2017

I have been waiting for payment of a sellback item that was approved for payment July 27,2017 and it is not almost September. I talked to two agents through the online chat (who were both very rude and told me I had my order number wrong when I was looking at the order number on my computer!) I then called customer service and I was told that I would receive a personal phone call regarding the issue but instead I received a sloppy email saying it would take another 14-21 business days for my payment to arrive. Do NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY. I certainly will never use them again.
