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 only recently discovered Book Outlet and I wish I discovered it years ago.
There are so many books on my wish list that I found with amazing prices.
It was so easy to navigate thru the website and purchase books on line.

Delivery takes quite a while but that's to be expected with a box full of books coming across the country. Books are inexpensive, are well packed and ship quickly.

I ordered a ton of books on clearance and I got them really fast. All the books were in amazing quality, even though they were used and I was really happy with all of them.

You used to have prices that were low plus cost of credit card. In the last year or so you have continually used different types of discounts, rewards, etc. making it almost impossible to use the book mark discounts, and raising prices approaching double your original price range. Accordingly I have greatly reduced my use of your service. I guess it proves that gimmicks and tricks are rewarded.

Excellent English translation by a Chinese professor of of this No. 1 Chinese classic, a Chinese "Romeo and Juliet" story. Surprisingly low price of $8 per copy for a $23 book. 100% new and excellent condition. Encouraged to buy more copies to meet a minimum $ purchase for free shipping. I did. Books delivered by 'Expedited Parcel' to me personally (I happened to be home) by Canada Post in only a few days. I gave a copy to my daughter. The other copies are for my friends.

Good
September 16, 2021

Good. I bought the books I needed and more. I didn't realize the one book was a paperback and not a hardcover, but after investigating it looks like the book was only ever published in paperback.

Great experience
September 15, 2021

I bought around 7 books for my first order, so it came up to be around $40. Considering I was getting so much, the quality was not expected to be amazing. It came about a week and a half after I ordered, and I had no complaints. The books had minor to no wear, perhaps a few stickers that were easily taken off, and maybe a few indentations to the spine. Nonetheless, it was a great experience.

I love reading and was reading all of my books off my Kindle. After awhile, my eyes became so tired from the light so I decided I should try to find some real books to read. I went to thrift stores and bought some off of other people, but was wanting newer books. I was told to come check out Book Outlet and I love it! I bought three bestsellers that were published in 2019 for $1.99 a piece, as well as 3 other books for under $2. They all arrived perfect without any marks or missing pages. I was so happy.

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.
