Quick and affordable
February 6, 2023

I placed a small order (4 kids board books and 1 novel for myself) for my first order. It shipped within 2 days, and delivered a couple days after that. With the book prices being so much lower than regular book stores, I am able to buy my daughters more to help grow their love of books. Overall an amazing experience and will be order again a lot in the future.

Blown away by service
February 6, 2023

I ordered two Jamie Oliver cookbooks that I have been searching for and did not want to pay 45 plus dollars for. You had the two that I was looking for and they were at a phenomenal price. Both arrived in a beautiful box and in perfect condition within days of my initial order.

Great books for a great price!
February 6, 2023

I love shopping at Book Outlet to find great deals on books and to find titles that I sometimes can't find elsewhere! They always run promotions and shipping is typically quick. Shopping in-person at their store is always a nice experience too.

Amazing price and quantity
February 6, 2023

A friend directed me to the site during one of their sales, and I was like a kid in front of the christmas tree! I found 14 books, and more than half of them I was actively looking for, and it cost me under 9$ per book WITH shipping. I will be buying again for sure!

Missing an item
February 3, 2023

I was happy with how quick the delivery process was and I got all my items except for one that I ordered. I would have given a higher review star result but that is frustrating. Hoping it can be resolved quickly.

Good prices, horrible shipping
March 5, 2023

Books are thrown in box with no packing and arrived crushed and many books banged up, wet, or broken. I am always refunded but the process of taking pictures and emailing and being asked for more pictures is a huge hassle. I also received 2 empty boxes even. Shipping has really gone downhill from when I first started ordering. It would also be nice if it was indicated whether the book was truly in new condition or had different pen slash discount marks.

Excellent Customer Service!
February 3, 2023

I ordered 7 hardcover books from Book Outlet discounted to $2 from the original price! Unfortunately, the first box was stolen but customer service remedied this by sending another box.

Order January 2023

As usual, the delivery was super fast and exactly what they said it would be. In fact, it arrived a day earlier than anticipated.

Some good some bad
February 3, 2023

Two of the 4 books I got were good. The other two had significant damage to them. If I would have known, I wouldn't have purchased them.

Satisfaction!
February 3, 2023

Monsieur Wilf Wikkerink, bonjour,
A few words to tell you that the books I ordered arrived today in very good condition.

I would like to thank YOU very much for making these books available and at such great prices.
I am an elderly retired man, with little acces to a lending library, and to be able to order books and benefit from such impeccable service is a great treat.

Thank-you again.
All my best,
Lemieux

Good Deals
March 5, 2023

Good deals but should make it more clear that all books have marks on them. Some covers damaged etc.
It was a good deal though. Still worth the price but they should make it more clear

Love this place
February 3, 2023

Customer service is wonderful. The prices of the books are amazing. The quality of the books are brand new. The only thing is that it depends what books they have in stock as they don't always have everything I'm looking for. Even so I've discovered a lot of different books!

I made an order last week for three books. When I click "track my order" the tracking website still says "Not Found".

The shipping confirmation email states 1-3 business days may be needed to reflect the tracking information, but that timeframe has passed. I am beginning to wonder what happened to my order.

Cheap books - lots of fun!
February 2, 2023

It's fun to shop for books on book outlet. It's a bit of a hunt to find a book you want but it's an adventure.

Date of experience: February 2, 2023

From the business

The only thing better than a good book is a good book at half the price…or more. And that’s what we offer. All our books are brand new and discounted at least 50% off publishers’ list prices. Book Outlet is your haven, full of excess publishers’ inventory eagerly waiting to find their way into the hands of readers like you.

So go on, get lost in the pages of a great book and revel in the thrill of a good deal that awaits you every day.

WARNING: Bookworms have been known to lose track of time, neglect household chores, and cancel plans. Side effects may include an insatiable desire to read, an expanding TBR pile, and an occasional book hangover. Proceed with enthusiasm.
