Really easy to shop and purchase. Thank you for making my first purchase such an easy one. Hope everyone knows how great it is to be able to shop from home. Now just waiting to see how long it takes to actually arrive.

Effective Speech Connect Plus
January 12, 2017

It was a great pleasure to access and use ValoreBooks for my college course material as it presented the most inexpensive costs and comparisons with other sites. Also showed me the new and used comparisons.

This is not only looking out for my education but looking out for my thin pocket and still trying to make the best educated selections for my coursework. I will keep ValoreBooks bookmarked as one of my Favs and the first source for further coursework material.

And will share the knowledge with friends as well.

Thank you Valorebooks... I look forward to receiving my shipment asap as I look to start my class in Spring 2017.

Always finding good deals on the books I'm needing for the year! I also love that I don't have to worry about getting the wrong book, or I haven't had a problem yet! I'm a Junior!

Quick, cheap
January 12, 2017

Found what I was looking for at a great price. Got expedited shipping, as semester has started, but still a good deal. I wish multiple books that were shipped together would get a discount, but still a good deal

My rating is more like a 2.5
January 11, 2017

I am torn in the middle because with my first order I got an email hours later saying it has been canceled. I just now placed another order with a different price, only because with other websites it would have cost me double. I need my book for Jan. 17 so if this order gets canceled again I will be greatly dissapointed.

Rentals
January 12, 2017

Every Rental i have made which is 4 total have all been in good condition, have arrived fast, and have had not return issues. Return labels are very easy to access, you only need a printer and a bubble wrap bag. Keep up keeping my books at least 90% to 30% cheaper than the cheapest option in my book store.

Cost
January 12, 2017

I am really happy with this but I wish the options for the prices of some of the more expensive books could be more manageable. Also you can't always find the book you want unless you have the ISBN. But otherwise it saved me quite a bit compared to looking in the school's bookstore.

Check out
January 12, 2017

They had the book I need but check out was a hassle. I had to enter my information more than four times to complete my order. Check out needs to improve.

Easy Peasy
January 12, 2017

Very easy. I've purchased and rented both. No problem as of yet! I hate it when I have to have at least 100 letters--I was done after the first three sentences. First time in my life I have been told to keep talking!

Very Satisfied!
January 12, 2017

My first go round, I ordered the wrong book but it was totally on my end and the book was only $8! I can still use it too, so it isn't even all that bad.

I was going to have to spend over $200 on books for college and ended up spending $87. That's a real good deal in my book lol (pardon the pun).

EASY PEASY

This site had the cheapest prices for the books I was looking for. I loved how easy the site was to navigate and the check out process was easy too. I will let you know how it goes on the shipping and receiving end of things.
