The prices at Valore are always considerably cheaper than any other site. I have also sold my books through the site and have never had any issues!

Fast and Efficient
January 4, 2017

I googled the textbook, found it very quickly, and completed ordering it all in about 5 minutes. It was the cheapest that I found the textbook priced at, and incredibly easy and simple to order.

Well done Valore
January 4, 2017

This site was the first site I clicked, and I did not at all regret that click. The original price offered, for the book I was looking for, was immediately dropped down to match other competitors. The account creation and checkout was flawlessly smooth. ValoreBooks deserves no less than 5 stars, well done!

EVERY SEMEMTER!
January 4, 2017

I have used Valore books for 3 semesters now and every time they have the books i need and for the best price. I have only had to go to another company once in search for a book they did not have. Great service, great at reminding when books are due.

Cheap and Easy
January 4, 2017

I have ordered my college textbooks from ValoreBooks twice now, and each time I have been exceptionally pleased. It saves me a ton of money, because my books are usually $200-300 each, but with ValoreBooks I only paid approx $30 to rent each book for the semester, including shipping, and they pay the return shipping.

Shipping Method Sucks
January 3, 2017

Trying to ship to my school is impossible because my address won't show up... Which is SO annoying. Also the fact that we have to enter 100 characters is annoying

Cancelled
January 3, 2017

I went to track my order and discovered it had been cancelled. My money was not refunded and no email was sent letting me know that the order had been cancelled. If you cancel orders, please email the buyer, so that we have an opportunity to buy the book elsewhere. Lucky for me, Barnes and Noble had the book for the same price and offers expedited shipping. Hopefully, you already issued me a refund and my money is on the way.

Quick buy at good price
January 2, 2017

Google directed me to the website at the top of the first page of results. With a brief glance at the homepage, I found the deal for me. The price of less than $15, including shipping, was too good to pass up.

First time user. Referred by Bookface.com. Ordering was fast and easy, and most budget minded pricing with inexpensive shipping. Hope book comes in as described; disclaimer notes international edition but should be same as US. says guaranteed satisfaction... so, we'll see
