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.

Satisfied 1st time Buyer
June 21, 2021

This is my first time ordering and I was very satisfied with my order. I like being able to find hard back books which are easier for me to read. Plus the price is affordable on my income. I definitely will be ordering again. Of course I had to wait longer than I wanted because who wants to wait on books?

Updated review

Looking for something (Hazardous Tales), found it and more. Could improve slightly the description on the books (but not sure that is realistic). My daughter is transitioning levels, so needs particular things (chapter books with color pics, and hard to tell with the descriptions), but overall pleased.

So glad I found the Book Outlet. The choices were varied and the site easy to navigate. The only issue is the shipping as it took a bit of time. But I believe the problem lies with the USPS and not with Book Outlet.

June 18, 2021

I wanted to give 5 stars for everything but for some reason 5th star isn't active. Books came in perfect shape. Price was so low and the books look fully new and unscathed. I will definitely buy my books on this site.

Overall I'm happy but room for improvement
June 17, 2021
Updated review

2 of the 3 copies of "the immortality key" I purchased were damaged one just had a little tear in the dust cover but the other one was messed up. The back of the dust cover was all scratched up, it also had a tear and the front hardcover flap was bent /heavily creased along 2 different lines. This was a bit disappointing because I was giving them as gifts and 2 of 3 of them didnt look new. The slow shipping I dont blame you guys for since it looked like USPS did have it in town for like 4 to 5 days before they got it to me. I was very happy with the price and very happy to have this particular book finnally in hand

I love Book Outlet!
June 17, 2021

I have spent so much time (and money) since I discovered your site in January of this year. I was convalescing after my week long stay in hospital with covid. All I had was my laptop, which I barely had the concentration to use. But I stumbled upon your site and use it I did. The book selection has been good, the prices really good, and the service great!

Date of experience: June 17, 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.
