Fast
May 14, 2017

The whole process was quick and easy. I would suggest a better transition from school bookstore to your cart. Book was in one cart and not the other.

Getting the order placed was a pain in the butt, not sure I'd do it again. This review box is a good example. Tried to just use the first sentence here, but I HAD to write 100 characters. Trying not to use Amazon, but ValoreBooks seems to be a good advertisement for them.

Easy to get through website and helpful for my summer semester by renting my book through you all instead of shelling out almost 300 bucks for a book.

I've used this site exclusively for the past 6 semesters and they've always had the lowest prices for my books! I highly recommend this site for every college student on a tight budget!

Excellent Prices
May 10, 2017

This is the second time I have bought textbooks from Valore. Every time the service is exceptional and the prices are excellent. I just rented a book that was $16 cheaper than amazon and close to $31 dollars cheaper than the college bookstore. This site is consistently better than any other site. I always recommend Valore Books!

I sent in 3 books on 3/29/17 and have not received any payment. When I inquired a month later it showed the package still in transit. Mind you, the quote is only good for 30 days. Shipping FEDEX takes more than 30 days, really? Beware of this company. SCAM!

EASY NAVIGATING
May 8, 2017

This cite was very easy to navigate. The options of new, used and rental located at the top of the page allowed me to go back and forth between pages to compare the better prices. Although, it didn't provide an estimated shipping date I am overall pleased and will be visiting this cite more often for my books.

BEST PRICES!
May 7, 2017

Every time I look for textbook rentals you always have the better prices and therefore I always spend my money with you. I always want expedited shipping but sometimes it's not offered and that is a bit frustrating.

Easy to order!
May 7, 2017

I am pleased at the price for this book. I am in college and being able to have a hard copy is critical to my field of study. I believe that I could not find a better price for a DSM V hard copy brand new!

I have always had a great experience with this website. I have never had any issues with the condition or the time received for the books. I have referred other college students to this website as well.

You should not expect your customers to have to use Autofill options. And you should not expect your customers to write a minimum of 100 characters for feedback.

The process was easy and the discount was great! However, the book I need for my class also comes with a code for an online lab. Although this book that I bought started at the same price as the book+code combo, nowhere in the description does it say it comes with the code. I won't know until I receive the book if I need to purchase the code separately.

Have used only a couple times but very delayed standard delivery as opposed to other sites. Lists standard delivery and expedited delivery in shipping information options but only seems to give option for standard delivery which is excessive (like by pony express excessive) Prices lower than anywhere else but be prepared to start class without the necessary books in some cases. It Happened to me last semester even after email response from Valore saying I would get delivery by the date I stated necessary to start classes which is why I went ahead and ordered them bc of that assurance before order was placed. Expect delays
