I used Valorebooks to sell back a couple of textbooks recently. My entire order was rejected. One books for supposedly being an international edition and one for being an instructors edition. I bought both of these at my college bookstore, I don't understand or believe that they are those editions, especially the instructors edition. The isbns I inputed straight from the books that gave me a price quote came out fine. I know for a fact that I didnt have the instructors edition, as I used the book for my class and it absolutely didn't have an answers in it. It's extremely shady to offer small amounts for books, find some false reasons to reject and then force the consumer to pay 5 dollars shipping each book to receive the rejected books. I know now to make the effort to sell back books in person do I cannot get scammed out of books they will most likely take and resell. I'm frustrated and feeling cheated. Do not use Valorebooks, make the effort and sell back books in person, on Barnes and Noble, or Amazon, even if it's less money.
They followed up to my email requesting proof by sending me pictures of the front books that were not mine and the backs of the books that were mine, I knew from the slight damage that mine had that these books did not match. There's the option to return the books, but I'm not giving them more money to send me books that weren't mine. Like I said as well, I purchased them from my college in person, they would not sell me the wrong books or the instructors edition. Valore Books is fully a scam, beware,
It is always easy to navigate and they always have the books I need. The variety of rental options is the best. Great prices and fast delivery service.
It was very easy to navigate and place order. I needed very specific book and fast shipping. Because I can rent the book, I am very happy. The price is also affordable. :) !
Just and easy quick way to find the best price for college books. Type in your ISBN number and the best value comes up as well as comments and reviews on the books.
I just stumbled across this website and placed and order. The checkout was super simple and straight forward. I look forward to receiving the book I ordered (and needed for a literature class.)
Everything was easy to do and cheap! Found tons of options and the steps were very easy to follow and i loved the prices the most, definitely will be returning to this website!
Fast, easy and inexpensive which helps me since I have 3 children in college. Hoping all are ok and any returns are handled just as fast, easy and inexpensive for me. Thank you
Great source for textbooks. Site is very easy to use! Thank you! This is the first time I have used this site. I will be returning to order when I need more textbooks!
It was easy to look up books I was needing for a great price. Used this site for a book last semester and it came in on time and the easy to print label to return it was quick and easy no fuss.
It was very easy to search for and find the books I wanted. I was disappointed that I was charged full shipping for each book. I cut down my order to just one book because of that
Sorry for the trouble! ValoreBooks is a marketplace connecting our customers with independent booksellers across the country and sometimes across the globe. As such, more than one seller might fulfill an order and a customer must pay the shipping for each seller. In the future, if you place an order for multiple books from the same seller, I encourage you to contact the seller to inquire if the books can be shipped within the same box.
This is the second semester that I have used this site, and I am still amazed by how much lower the prices are on this site versus the prices at the school book store and other vendors.
When it come to the address, just make sure you hit the address with your city and state (If you have auto fill that is) if not it will not let you enter your address completely. Hope that helps!
It was quick and simple to find the book I needed and checkout was quick and easy. This is the first time I have ever needed to order a textbook for school so I was nervous but the site made it easy.
The process was really easy and hopefully the whole experience is amazing. Might think about trying this place again is the prices are still affordable and the shipping is convenient.
Trying to ship to my school is impossible because my address won't show up... Which is SO annoying. Also the fact that we have to enter 100 characters is annoying
My 16 year old is taking college classes and we've save a ton getting books here. I just wish this was around when I was buying books for college. Thanks Valore
Great quality book. The condition was great. This was the first time we ordered from your company and did not know what to expect. We will definitely be back.
Multiple complaints online of difficulty using website to place order with no resolution. Unable to fill in state, city and zipcode on several computers. Finally found computer able to place order.
The purchase and ordering process was easy and very cheap. I definitely consider this combination a win, win. What I need, when I needed it, for the price I wanted!
I found the version of my book I was looking for and even found it for a cheaper price than all of the other sites I looked on. Happy with my purchase.
