Love this site!
January 5, 2017

I always know I can come here to get great deals on expensive college textbooks. I always look here first before amazon. I can always find the books I need at a decent price.

Ok so far
January 5, 2017

Good price, but will they deliver? We shall see... This had better not be a scam. I have dealt with scammers before. I hope this is legitimate. It would really suck if it weren't.

It would have been nice to ship some books together to save on shipping OR have some sort of discount on shipping. Anyway, I like Valore because it is easy to use with good prices and have used it for 3 semesters now.

Cheapest text books
January 5, 2017

Great prices! Other websites wanted to charge me $80 for the same book. You gave it to me for half that. Will recommend this site. Thank you.

Website malfunction
January 5, 2017

The website was not working for several days (could not enter city, state or zip). This resulted in missing out on the better prices i originally had in my cart.

Great! East, fast check out, and easy to find the books I needed, thanks :) it wants more words than this, i dont know why it is requiring 100 words, but that is what it wants, i guess they want honest reviews. Which is fine. But i have other papers to write, i guess this is kind of a good warm up for college. Maybe.

Sociology in our times
January 4, 2017

I had problems putting in my address and city. It would not allow me to change anything. I tried on my phone and got no where. Then I got my computer and still had problems.

My address is Old Hickory, TN *******--- NOT Green Hill.

Quick, Easy, and Cheaper!
January 5, 2017

I found the book that I needed quickly, and $157.42 cheaper than how much it cost at my school. Checkout was extremely fast. I honestly can't believe how well this went!

EASY TO BUY... DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE BOOK YET. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES. WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT BUYING AN INTERNATIONAL BOOK, BUT FOUND OUT THAT IT IS JUST A WAY TO SELL BOOK AT LOWER RATE

Great site
January 4, 2017

Has the cheapest books for college. Fast shipping. Easy returns on rentals. Great website for me. The flat rate shipping is a little expensive at time because it is per book but other than that i love it.

Out of synch
January 4, 2017

Items are listed on your inventory that are not available. Inventory should be updated as soon as an item no longer exists for rent or at least on a daily basis. Item cancelled on order is still listed a day later. This complicates timing with start of school and may result in a delay in being able to participate.
