Efficient
January 6, 2017

I had no worries throughout my checkout process. It was easy to find the products I was looking for with many available options to choose from, which I always like. The availability of products as well as cheap prices will keep me coming back. Thank you again.

Always a good deal with no hassle
January 6, 2017

As a student I've found this site invaluable. I buy most of my text books here. In several cases they offered the international edition and every time it was exactly the same at a fraction of the price! No need to hesitate, you won't likely find a better deal anywhere.

Easy Find
January 6, 2017

Good place to find books for cheap, will find out how well the books are when i receive them. Glad I can rent and return them, keeping books is a waste of money

Easy, Inexpensive and Quick!
January 6, 2017

I saved $250.00 on 2 books and did it all in less time than it took to finish this review. Mama didn't raise no retail fool! Shop ValoreBooks and spend that cash you saved on something that matters, like Haribo Gummi Bears!

Great Experience

The books were easy to find. Just simply type in the title or ISBN number and instantly, you're given a list of books to choose from. The prices are VERY reasonable!

So far it is great, but I wonder why they want a review 2 seconds after I placed my order? The price is right, and as long as I receive my book on time, and in good shape I will be happy to rate this site higher.

Excellent Vendor

I love Valore.com
This is my third time renting/buying and service is great.
I wish they had all books from the Business in Supervision and Management BAS at MDC. But, overall thumps up!

Shipping
January 6, 2017

I don't like the fact that I can't use my P. O. Box to have my books sent. People use them for a reason, and the fact the you won't accept them is really unfair.

Rental due dates are a scam!
January 6, 2017

I always buy my textbooks from Valore books because you have the best prices. However as a business student it angers me that when I rent a book from Valore books for the semester the due date is always a week before my semester ends. The last two semesters I have had to pay late fees because I did not send my book until my final was over. I think these due dates are a con and a scam where the vendors or Valore Books knows that the student will be forced to pay the late fee because they need the book to study for the final exam in class. My rental was due before my last day of class (Dec. 17)! I got scammed out of another $10.80! 1/3 of the price of entire rental!

Cautiously Optimistic
January 6, 2017

The process to actually place the order went very smoothly. I have not received the item as of yet. Therefore, I do not know how the order fulfillment process will go. I hope it will be as simple and efficient as the order placement process. Fingers Crossed.

ValoreBooks

I found this website through TextbookRentals.com and the book that I needed was the cheapest on this website. I have never heard of valorebooks, but I know that I will come back for future purchases of textbooks.

Rental purchase
January 6, 2017

The check-out process was a bit difficult because the site kept wanting to put the shipping address in for me. I could not change the zip code even though it was incorrect.
