Overall experience was good. Shipping took longer than expected and the box arrived torn apart enough that books could have slipped out. Thankfully they were all there.
It's like treasure hunting! I always come back to check what's available under my favorite authors and explore some craft boxes. Most books came in great condition.
Will definitely be buying again. Everything was perfect condition, and high quality. Selection is fantastic. A little slow delivery but understandable coming from Canada.
Building your personal library is much more affordable, with book outlet. They have a pretty good selection of African American Authors that are easy to locate.
I was shocked at the price and I still can't believe I was able to get books of my TBR. I only had one damaged book but it won't stop me from returning
Books are a great price! I was bummed because I'd ordered 3 books from a series and one was out of stock, so I was refunded, but now I'm missing that one so I'll have to find it elsewhere
I stumbled on this site and I was so happy! I did place an order and I am Very Happy with my purchase. I will order from here all the time now. They hv something for everyone! I just love it!
I order a few books for my grandkids. They arrived in a timely manner and in great shape. I had an issue with one so I reached out to customer service and they were amazing!
Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that your order arrived in a timely manner and that your experience with customer service was amazing!
One of the books, a paperback, was damaged in transit. The last 20 pages and the back cover were badly wrinkled. There wasn't any packing material in the box to prevent the books from shifting.
Your system is $#*!! Using USPS is a joke! The books have been sitting in my city, Portland, for a week. They have now been coded as "out for delivery" for four days. WTF!?!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback. We are sorry for the frustration you experienced with the carrier. We will pass this on as we are always looking for ways to improve our services.
The order came really fast and all the books were in good condition. One thing I wasn't a fan of was just the black marker line that was on some of the books.
Love love love my books! Just took a little bit to get them. Also, I wouldve liked more shipping updates but overall love the books and cant beat the price!
We loved all the books. They were gifts for two of our nieces and they were both over joyed with the books. The only negative was the length it took for them to get them. Shipping
Dan Abnett: nothing. Ken Follett: a few books. DelToro: The Shape of Water: nothing. Manga? Akira: nothing. Other titles in manga? Nothing. One of the worst sites for books.
I was very excited to receive my books. That wasn't till I realized that I did not get all of my books. In my order were some books that I did not order but received anyways.
It took 2 weeks but well worth it. Got some light novels and manga for way under the market price. I'm not sure why the other reviews are so bad
I ordered books December 1st, still haven't got them. The only thing I know is they are stuck in transit...
Hi Christina! We are so sorry to find out that your order did not arrive. If you'd like to send us a private message with your email and order #, we would be happy to look into this for you! - Jennifer
I had a long-standing relationship with Bookoutlet. I had ordered several hundred dollars worth of books from them over the course of the past year or so, when I ran into a problem. It seems that Bookoutlet didn't have the books needed to complete my order. So, rather than contacting me, they just sent the wrong order and charged my credit card anyway.
In these kinds of situations, it's usually not a big deal to get some kind of refund worked out. I was willing to accept a partial refund for a partial return of the merchandise, but Bookoutlet wouldn't have it. I filled out an e-ticket explaing the problem, and they closed the ticket without resolving the problem. I tried to file another e-ticket and suddently the ticketing system didn't work. I called customer service and "Melissa" at customer service gave me the run around and wouldn't help resolve the situation at all.
I had to report the fraudulent charge to Visa, ship the supporting documentation to Visa, and I am still waiting for a refund for fraud from Visa. It's definitely not worth saving a few bucks on overstock books when you have to spend several hours to trying to get your money back for fraudulent charges. Stay away from Bookoutlet.

The book was quite a bit less expensive than other online sellers, and arrived within a week, as expected.
This is the 3rd time I bought books from Book Outlet. Very competitive pricing and shipping is relative fast, especially considering the supply shortage we have nowadays because of COVID.

Answer: It could be up to 15 days but right now the shipping is taking longer due to Christmas. You could get it early and you may not. They can not promise anything. They do not control shipping. I have had no problem getting my books though and I order several. Elizabeth

Hi Casey,
We are sorry that one of the books was out of stock, However, feel free to place the book in your wishlist so if/when it comes back in stock you will be notified. Although I do realize you will most likely be wanting it sooner:)
All the best,
