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.

Not book outlets fault but never received our books even though post office says they are delivered. I wouldn't order again know book outlet uses USPS and not UPS or fedex who have ways to contact them if you don't receive your items.

Great prices, wish there was a little more selection book wise but found plenty of interesting titles. Shipping took 8 days but overall not bad. One of my books came "warped" and bent from the way it was shipped but the other five were in great condition.

Amazing values
July 15, 2022

This was my first (but definitely not last!) order with book outlet. Everything I ordered was received in good condition and at a price of 1/2 to 1/3 of what I would have otherwise paid- I was worried it was too good to be true- but the value is TRUE. Can't recommend highly enough!

Amazingly lower price as compared to other major book sellers. Even adding shipping fees, the total price is uncomparable.

Please clearly say if a paperback is mass market size. Three books I bought were mass market when I thought they would be full sized. Some books I bought were damaged also.

The cover image of what I ordered and what I expected was not what I received. Even though it was incorrect there was no way to return or exchange to receive the correct product because "it is the same content."

The site provides a great selection of books at a great price, the quality of the books is great, shipping times are reasonable and as a Marvel comics fan I was happy to see a solid selection of graphic novels that beat barnesandnoble & in some cases Amazon prices.

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.
