This is the best site to buy discounted, good quality books. I love the variety they have of childrens books to adult books. They frequently have popular books at an amazing discount, I also love that I can pay in CAD and not USD!
Tremendous selection and incredible prices. Every item shipped and fast too. Will definitely be ordering more from Book Outlet
Everything was simple, affordable, high-quality and efficient. I will be back to order again. Thanks.
I found exactly what I was looking for easily with the search bar. Books are very reasonably priced and were delivered quickly.
Book Outlet has a fantastic array of books, newer and older, that are "extras" from publishers. Some may have a few worn spots or torn covers (most do not), stickers, and some "fading," but you can score a book that is $25-30 in a new condition at a big box store for $2-5! The shipping is a bit slow but, for this price, I don't mind: as long as I don't need something ASAP, I'll order and save a ton of money will expanding my rich reading and teaching life, and letting my personal library grow.
Do note that books tend to be marked with a dot or line on the pages ("spine" side), so you won't want to give these books away as gifts unless you're gifting them to someone who also does not mind affordable, worn, or cast off books.
I've ordered a few times from Book Outlet. They don't always have everything I'm looking for, but when they do have titles they are at excellent prices. All books have been in brand new condition. Fast shipping and a decent free shipping threshold. Highly recommend!
Overall I'm very satisfied with all my purchases from book outlet. Great books at low cost. I only wish they'd add paper or something inside the box so the books don't get tossed around so much crushing the corners of the books or folding over the cover wrecking a perfectly good book.
While I appreciate the wide selection of titles that Book Outlet has, its shipping is a disaster. When I first began ordering from the company, the books were carefully packed with only one instance of a book arriving damaged.
Since the company switched to its current delivery service, the books are put into boxes with no packing material. As a result the books arrive frequently damaged: dust covers tore, pages & covers of paprebacks bent & torn. Also the boxes are not sufficiently sealed so they open on the way to delivery. I believe that in at least one stance, I lost books that fell out of an unsealed box
Very happy with the quality of service and products here. Would definitely order again.
It's always a great experience buying books from Book Outlet. My only feedback is related to packaging. This time around, the books were freely moving around in the box which caused their covers to be folded and deformed. Other than that, everything else was smooth as ever. Thanks!
I am a yoga teacher and have build a wonderful reference library buy purchasing books here. The books have been in excellent condition and much much less expensive then shopping from other sources
You will have a hard time finding books at a better price. We have placed many orders over the last couple of years. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is that sometimes the books covers are moderately marked up (never torn). This has caused me to have been disappointed a couple of times when buying books as gifts.
Books are a fraction of the price elsewhere and all in great condition. Some have a marker dot or line but that's explained in each listing and doesn't detract from the content. One of the books even came signed by the author! Some puzzles/toys are also discounted compared to typical retailers (B&M and online) and the book outlet has been the first place to check!
I was surprised at how fast the books came. One was a birthday gift so I was concerned about timing but, no worries- it came in plenty of time.
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.
Answer: Using the online ticket system, I got a response within 2 days.
Answer: It seems like a well run company. I've made 2 orders already and am happy with my purchases and service I received.
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.
