Items are listed on your inventory that are not available. Inventory should be updated as soon as an item no longer exists for rent or at least on a daily basis. Item cancelled on order is still listed a day later. This complicates timing with start of school and may result in a delay in being able to participate.
Ive literally saved HUNDREDS of dollars by using this website. If you're having a problem checking out and it won't let you type in zip code, city, and state, try typing in your entire address in the "address" bar. Do not split it up. This worked for me. It will automatically fill that in for you.
I would highly suggest that you change your shopping cart to be able to manually input your city and state. Allowing google maps to automatically populate those fields almost sent my books to another city! I'm guessing this happens all the time. It's the difference between 3 and 5 stars and possibly not using your site in the future.
In theory it seems great, although there was very little information when I ordered the book. For example, I don't know if I'm just getting an access code or if I'm getting the full textbook. Didn't really specify. I'm only really interested in the access code, so as long as that works, there's no problem, but I'd like to have a better idea of what I'm buying.
They have been in possession of my book for 6 weeks now. Their payback policy is significantly longer than any of the other 10+ buyback companies I have used. By their policy I should have received payment 4 weeks ago. After several complaints I get differing stories from customer service and always get apologies and a promise to be paid in the next few days. I have serious doubts if I will ever get paid. Do yourself a favor and do business elsewhere!
The process was really easy and fast and most certainly cheaper books I found. As a college student or book lover in general you want to make sure you save money yet be able to find exactly what you are looking for. This made the process easier and faster.
Throughout my college textbook search, this site has always been the cheapest for me. I recommend this to every college student if your budget is tight! I have never had any problems with them in the past and always got the book in a timely matter. THANK YOU! :)
I use the interview to find what I need at the lowest possible price. I have been a ValoreBooks customer for years now. Products are in good shape and I have never had a problem with receiving the wrong books or my order being late. Some books are not available or I may be able to find it cheaper. Fact still remains that this company is the most reliable in meeting my textbook needs.
I have used Valor several times over the years and have never had an issue with them. Orders arrive on time, renting is a great alternative, and the books have always been in usable conditions.
Thank you!
This is my third time ordering from ValoreBooks. I get my books SO much cheaper than the campus bookstore (even the off-campus bookstore!) and in a timely manner.
I'm sorry other people have had a negative experience and are giving bad reviews, but I've only seen good from this company so far!
This cite was very easy to navigate. The options of new, used and rental located at the top of the page allowed me to go back and forth between pages to compare the better prices. Although, it didn't provide an estimated shipping date I am overall pleased and will be visiting this cite more often for my books.
Rented 5 textbooks for my son. I personally returned them all in good condition. 3 out of the 5 books were "rejected" for being damaged. They were not. They automatically deducted full price of textbook from card I used to rent them. Took 5 weeks to get my money back for all 3. Had to threaten them with a lawyer! Sad sad company! Screwing our poor college kids after the government already screws them with 12% interest rate on school loans. Shame on them!
I am a freshman in college, and of course, when you're in college you're always looking for ways to save money. Valorebooks usually has the best deals for the books I need for school. I got a book that would usually cost over a hundred for about fifteen dollars. Also, when you're using their renting service it is amazing that they include a free shipping label with your purchase. Whenever one of my friends is struggling with book costs, I always refer them to this site, and most of the time they find what they are looking for for much cheaper. When I receive the books, they are true to their description as well. I will continue to use this site, amazing deals, and much cheaper than most sites or on campus bookstores (even with shipping costs). The only thing I would criticize is that you have to pay shipping per book, so the shipping can get a little pricey if you're buying multiple books. Other than that, great site, and I will probably be using it for the next few years!
Had a ebook malfunction only to find out when this happens the school bookstore can do nothing about it although you paid them for the book. This site presented me with a better option to having text books everywhere and my book is order for a fraction of what the ebook cost me as well as the full price of a book I will not use after this course. Lets see how it goes, wish me luck.
Textbook Rental at a fair price, but I was unable to even find my address or click to enter which town and state I'm in, so I had to send my book to a friends house, which oddly enough showed up on the list of addresses. Pretty inconvenient..
My experience with purchasing international books from ValoreBooks has been exceptional. I've gotten textbooks for a tenth of the price of what Amazon sells them for, and the only thing different about the cheaper textbooks is that they're paperback and in black-and-white. These differences I can live with.
The site prevented me from entering mailing address city and zip code.
The only way it works is if you enter your street address and then select the other info from a pop-up menu.
A fine system, but if you miss the pop-up menu, there are no hints on what to do next. Ended up doing the entire form again before I got it to work.
A single line of text next to the street address text box could have resolved this issue.
3 days expedited shipping works. After reading the other reviews, I bought a brand new paper back edition for less than $30. The rental price on Amazon was $50+ and the purchase was $125+. I'm just going to keep it for less than the rental price of the hard cover. Top corner had small creases from shipping, but that's ok.
Great price. Beat Amazon, including its marketplace, and eBay. Best price on Google shopping, which is where I found it. Now I have a new bookstore on my list. Easy to use. So far, so good. Remains to be seen how they actually deliver. And whether I can edit this review after I receive what I ordered. To be continued...
For some reason when I tried to place an order it kept saying my payment information was incorrect. I checked and reentered everything several times, but it continued giving me the same error. I ended up waiting days and trying again a couple times. It finally worked. The prices were low but the hassle almost made me look to other websites to get my books.
Answer: DONT DO IT! This place is shady with business. They may or may not send you the products or even your money. It seems like a great website with great reviews, but dont be fooled
