Great Service
December 30, 2016

ValoreBooks has been excellent so far! Deliveries have been on time, and I have had no issues returning my books. I would definitely recommend to other students who want cheaper rentals.

Quick, Easy, and Cheaper!
January 4, 2017

I found the book that I needed quickly, and $157.42 cheaper than how much it cost at my school. Checkout was extremely fast. I honestly can't believe how well this went!

Ordering super easy
March 26, 2018

Perhaps the ordering issues have been fixed. I had a simple order--ordering books shipped to myself--but it took less than a minute. Prices were best I found on what I wanted.

Simple
January 14, 2017

I was in need for a psychology book with one of those pointless access codes that raises the price to $170. I got a rental through ValoreBooks for less than $35!

Awesome.

I can't believe how much money I save on these books. My classmates are idiots for buying from the school. I will use this website throughout my whole time in college!

Hooray for cheap books!
January 24, 2017

I'm so happy I found this site, it was a lot cheaper than competitors such as Chegg who I normally use. Thank you for being available! You saved me so much!

Excellent
May 1, 2018

Great. Had the book I needed last minute for a class. Hoping it comes with the online access code, read other reviews and it said it will. Looking forward to that.

I usually don't write reviews but I'm just so angry especially since I'm a broke college student. I rented a textbook from valorebooks.com, received it very quickly but the book came to me in poor condition. There was obvious damage to the binding, a page was ripped out and shoved back in and there was plenty of writing/highlighting. I didn't think much of it, I just assumed that they knew of the condition bc why else would they send me the book. I desperately needed it since the class was quickly approaching, and plus the class was only 6 weeks long (I'm in an accelerated program). I returned it before the due date and received an email from them a week later stating that they were going to charge me FULL PRICE ($85)! They blamed me for the poor condition the book was in even though I returned it exactly as I received it. This goes to show that they do not keep track of the condition of their textbooks they are sending out and are blaming their customers for it! I wrote to them and they did nothing about, they could care less. I will never use this site again. Some advice: if you rent a book from them and it is in any condition but new then make sure you take pictures with dates so you have proof if ever needed.

Ripoff!
October 11, 2016

I rented a book for 1 semester and my son needed it for the next, I was told by the seller that it wouldnt be a problem and to contact Valore. Valore told me to send the book back but did not provide the shipping label. I contacted them on a Thursday and by Friday they had taken the cost of the book out of my account and would not refund it to me. They then told me to sell the book back to the company, I tried to only for them to tell me the book isnt worth anything at this point. So within 4 days the book went from being worth $140.00 to $0.00.

Looking for a revised edition of a book I bought in 2001. Surfing high and low on the Internet, all the used books were super overpriced by "HUNDREDS of DOLLARS" For some reason 'new' book were reasonable priced. (?) Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Because my college didn't inform me about when I would receive the money I needed to pay for books, I had to use a plasma donation card instead. This is one of those such books.

I'm so mad that I didn't discover Valore until I was a Senior BAS - I could've saved SO MUCH money over my 26 year college career. The pricing is amazing and the service is quick. Return shipping is free. I highly recommend Valore!

When order textbooks, I always check the Valor site first because they offer the best prices. This company is reliable, ordering is easy, and I have never had a problem.

Book buying

This is my second time purchasing from this website. I put items in my cart and one of the books was removed for someone else. I am a bit disappointed.

Always find what I'm looking for at a good $ value. My orders have always arrived. In good condition, on projected delivery date. This is my go-to book shopping site.

Looking for Textbook
September 20, 2017

I found this website to find cheaper textbooks. Worked like it was supposed to, but nothing special or fancy. Very easy to use though so almost gave it a four.

Website malfunction
January 4, 2017

The website was not working for several days (could not enter city, state or zip). This resulted in missing out on the better prices i originally had in my cart.
