Easy & Convienent
January 10, 2017

Using the ISBM numbers that I copied and pasted from my colleges' bookstore, knowing what books I need for each class was very easy and convienent to rent. I was able to find 2/4 books I needed for half price.

Book
January 10, 2017

I enjoy renting or buying my text books from Valore. It saves me ALOT of money! Many of my books I may never use again, so it is convenient to either rent or buy used and sell back.

It wouldn't let me enter my school address so I had to send it to my home address. Just annoying because they may not get here before I leave for school. It would be nice if I could have just sent it to my school. Other than that the books are a really good price.

Sketchy Checkout
January 9, 2017

If your apartment or address does not show up on google maps you will have some issues checking out. I have no problems getting mail and packages from other places and my apartment address is not on google maps. This needs to be fixed to make the checkout much much easier for customers.

Okay
January 9, 2017

The first time I ordered through Valore, my book was shipped from India, got held up in New Dehli customs and lost in transition. I had to contact the owner who resent another one. By then, I was two weeks into my five week accelerated class. Just now, I had trouble ordering as it would not let me type in my city, state or zip! I had to try several times.

Excellent!
January 9, 2017

The books I have ordered have always been at reasonable prices compared to those at my college book store. Also, they are never late. I've ordered from ValoreBooks many times in the past and I plan to do so in the future.
