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.

Simple and convenient order of the book I wanted. Packaging was sustainable too with my book order ( I appreciate no waste and unnecessary packaging with my order) - so I liked that as well

I cannot tell you in words just how much I love Book Outlet. The excitement of getting a new box of books can only be seen. Perfect for the avid book reader, the prices and quality are just what we all need to keep adding to our never-ending TBR piles!

Always a positive experience!
June 29, 2021

I've been ordering from Book Outlet for over a year now and love everything about them. When I find a book I've been wanting to read and am able to get it for such a reasonable price that's awesome, but then it arrives in such a short period of time, well that's even better! I'm a Book Outlet shopper for good now!

The books I received were a good value. The only issue was, that after 6 days, FedEx could still not give me a date at which my order would be delivered to my home. The last leg of the delivery chain is apparently the USPS. I blame Fed Ex for the communiation gap, although I think they want no responsibility for it. I don't think I will order from book outlet again.

Damaged books
July 28, 2021

Some of the books had bent pages or creased covers and all were dirty as if they had fallen on the floor.

Book Outlet attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Bought one book
June 28, 2021

I bought one book from here and it came in great condition! Delivery was longer than advertised, but arrived in a week which is not bad. They also gave me another coupon in the book! Am definitely going to order again from this site.

Used
July 28, 2021

I don't recall the Bible being sold as a used Bible. But it had numerous verses that were underlined when I received it.

Found a very large selection and excellent prices

Date of experience: June 12, 2021

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.
