Website is easy to navigate. Most rentals sites will not charge tax but Valorebooks does. i will be updating my review upon receipt of book and what the S&H turnaround is.
I found that my books were cheaper to rent through valor than on amazon however, with prime getting it to me in a quicker time than valor i had to order one of my book through amazon.
This is the best site to go to when you need the books fast and you don't want to spend a whole lot of money.
I purchased a book on 8/13/17 from a vendor using Valore's website. The book shipped the next day. On 8/17/17, I received an email from the partner company stating that the order was never shipped and I could request a refund or wait for the book to be back in stock. I requested a refund from that company and later called Valore Books to request a refund as well. A week after I asked the separate company and days after I ask Valore, Valore ships the book and asks me to pay for return postage! Avoid this company at all costs.
Tl; dr: book says it was shipped, 3 days later I get email saying it never shipped, I ask for refund, they send the same book days later, I have to pay for postage to return.
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.
Good price with easy steps and fast search with different variables too. Really love the website design and good condition of the book too.
I am a student, single mom and employee. My budget is tight and ValoreBooks understands what a price in books can mean to people. If it wasn't for this site I would not of been able to afford my books for class.
This website is very affordable and trustworthy to buy books here. I always recommend my classmates to go to this website because it is very beneficial to buy books, especially having financial crisis in your life.
The only thing it stopped me for giving an extra star for this website is the lack of CD simulation for the courses required. For Telecommunication Networking, this website does have the book at a reasonable minimum price, but they do not have the CD that comes along with it. Overall, I enjoy buying books so far :)
I just selected my book and made the payment just a couple minutes. Not bad. Didn't even ask my blood type or take DNA samples.
Cheapest price for most of my rentals. Only downside is having to pay shipping to return the book rather than being provided with a label.
I have had the misfortune of purchasing a book at full price then finding out that I could have rented it for a fraction on the price. Will never buy again.
I looked on other sites and could not find the book I needed for class. Valorebooks.com had it and at a great price!
At first I was pretty hesitant to order anything from this website considering that it was my first time, but I DO NOT regret the purchase I made. The item in which I ordered was not only accurate, but included fast shipment. Overall, my first-time experience was amazing and I hope to continue to receive the same quality of service.
This is my first semester using ValoreBooks, usually i use a competitor but VB really had all their prices beat! I am looking forward to using them again in the future
This was a great experience and I saved almost $200 on two book purchases. I highly recommend this site. It was recommended to me and so far I am pleased. I have not received the books yet, but it will not cost an arm and a leg to find out.
My university's book store offers price comparisons with its competitors to help students find the most affordable options and Valore is always the best place to get textbooks.
Very good. I Come here every semester for low prices. I always find what I am looking for and what I want. Easy to navigate and fast and friendly checkout.
I have never used the word streamlined before, sounds pretty nice thought I'd use it here. I ordered Socrates to Sartre and Beyond: A History of
Philosophy from this site, it was a pretty good price used, was more expensive other places.
