Excellent!
October 18, 2022

I used bookoutlet.ca twice now. Each time, the books have arrived in a timely manner. The books have all been delivered in excellent condition as well. Do to their low prices, this is the place to check first.

Please consider extra features!
January 20, 2023

I would love if I could curate my experience through being able to "block" books I'm not interested in, so I only see new content! I would love a "watch" feature for books I'd like to purchase, should they become available!

Great selection, great prices, quick delivery! I was very happy with my order and how quickly it arrived to my door. The site is easy to navigate. I will be returning customer and have already started to tell others about it.

Great customer service
October 14, 2022

This was my first time ordering from here and I was so excited about my book purchase. When they arrived I was sad because 1 of the books I ordered was damaged but I reached out to customer service and they replaced it with a new one free of charge! I will definitely be ordering from here again!

First purchase
August 15, 2022

I received this in quick time, would like to have known it would have required a signature though and ability to choose arrival day so I would be sure to be there. Otherwise it arrived in new condition and very easy purchase process. Thank you. Will look again soon.

Please stock more iris murdoch
June 18, 2021

It's a hobby of mine now to check book outlet's new arrivals to see if they have the books i need for my iris murdoch collection. And even if they didn't i almost always still find books i want to own.

What a wonderful store! It's super easy to navigate and there are so many options to choose from! Despite the disclaimer of the books possibly having small damage, my books are absolutely nothing to complain about. Absolutely recommend buying from here.

Always great
November 17, 2022

I always have a great experience with Bookoutlet. I have a home daycare and this is the only way I can afford to give the kids books for Christmas. The prices can't be beat. This was the first time I didn't receive one book but the problem was solved within hours.
I will be continuing to shop at book outlet.

Good value
June 27, 2022

We've purchased some great books off this site for reduced prices. Books can get very expensive, so we like to browse this site for deals. I use this site to purchase books for our own family and for gifts!

Quite good
January 2, 2023

I received the items I ordered much faster than I expected. Books are in good, new condition, although some are significantly dusty. The website can be a bit difficult to navigate, especially if you are looking for nonfiction, non-children's books. I'm quite pleased to have found this shop, as sometimes it has books I'm looking for at a decent price.

As described... and at a great price!
September 19, 2022

Found a specific type of cookbook I wanted based on online reviews (and also having a chance to preview it from my local library). I liked the content, and when I found it at BookOutlet with the price indicated, it was a no-brainer to buy. Book arrived as per the automated notifications, so no issue there. For the shipping cost, I thought the delivery time was fair.

Great prices and pretty fast delivery
February 16, 2023

I like shopping with Book Outlet - prices are great, selection is pretty decent and the delivery is fast.
Rather give my money to a small company than AMZ, et al.

Great Customer Service
October 18, 2022

While I did have to wait nearly a month for my order due to it being lost in transit the first time it was sent, the customer service I received when I needed it was top tier. I was offered several options and able to pick the one that worked best for me.

The Book Outlet always seems to have something in stock that I was looking for, and the orders are quickly processed. Postal delivery is a wee bit slow (no fault of the Book Outlet, of course), yet the delivery charges are reasonable and selection is good. Service and communications are top notch. Thanks!

Delivery Issues
July 21, 2022

I did not experience any problems with selecting items for my order or navigating the website. What I was not impressed with was the delivery person just dumping the box on my front stoop, without knocking, and ignoring the instructions prominently displayed on my front door as to where to leave parcels. It's a miracle the parcel wasn't scooped by porch pirates.

18 books for $75
May 9, 2022

I ordered 18 books from Book Outlet and I paid only $75! I got free shipping, and all the books came in one package in just a few days. I also had promo code because I was new member which was great! I received a mix of both soft and hard cover books and most were in great condition(I believe only one was not the best, but still fine overall)! Did not have all the books I was looking for (but who does?), and would definitely buy from again- so cheap! If I were to buy all these these same books from Indigo, I would have paid upwards of $300, likely even more!

PRINT TOO SMALL
July 1, 2021

One of the books received had print so small one had to use a magnifying glass to read it. Some publishers seem to want to cram as much print into the smallest number of pages. I suppose it saves paper and ink, but most frustrating for the reader and a book I would not buy if I had the opportunity to see it before purchasing it.

Simenon
November 21, 2022

I had ordered 7 Simenon's Maigret books. Because I didn't order them on my previous order I was anxious to get them. I think I have at least half of the collection and will be on the lookout for others to appear on your pages.

All of my orders have been received promptly. Thank you.

Received Order Promptly for a Good Price
June 25, 2021

I love the Book Outlet because I feel that purchasing from them is a bit more environmentally friendly than buying from large commercial book retailers. It's great to buy books that have minor cover flaws or damage because they are way more affordable and they aren't being brought to the dump. The mail orders are sent promptly.
