Book Outlet Reviews Summary

The company enjoys a generally positive reputation, particularly for its competitive pricing and the quality of its books, which many customers find satisfactory. However, concerns about shipping delays and inadequate packaging frequently arise, leading to damaged items upon arrival. While customer service is often praised for its responsiveness and willingness to resolve issues, there are notable frustrations regarding the lack of proactive communication about order status and the handling of returns for damaged products. Overall, the company demonstrates potential for customer satisfaction but must address logistical and support challenges to enhance the overall experience.

I ordered 2 paperbacks from Book Outlet and I was in no hurry for them. It took about 10 days for them to arrive and they were packaged very well and are in excellent condition. Great experience...I will order from them again.

I'm very happy with the prices and the quality of the items. But it's absolutely wasteful and looks bad at delivery to have a massive box and have it contain only one bookmark.

If you're looking for something specific, this is a roll of the dice. But if you're browsing for something new or different to read, then you can find some great bargains and better reads.

I've ordered twice from Book Outlet and been thrilled every time! The books have all been in new condition with only a small mark on the edge of the pages. The value is incredible, especially when my kid reads through books so quickly.

Books were pristine..

Books were pristine.nice selection of new and classics available in my favorite genre. Delivery was a bit long, but otherwise great experience.

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.
