This website is easy to use, I like that there are all formats of the textbooks needed. Its nice to be able to either rent, buy new or used. I've never not found a text book I was looking for. They even have international options. The returns are easy. I do kinda think that its ridiculous to offer textbook buy backs and it being one penny, that would be my only complaint at least make it worth a dollar because whats the point in selling 12 textbooks and only getting under $1.
I ordered my books on May 24th 2023 and its June 16th, there is no update, there is no seller information, the tracking number doesn't show anything, its been that way from the start. You can't contact them by phone. Classes already started 2 weeks ago and no one from this company contacts you back. They got your money and to bad about your books. Now i'm stuck in a class with no books and no way to contact them and get any reply back of where my books are.
Breezed thru the order. I have dealt with Valore Books in the past and have always been pleased. Thank you for your trusted service and I look forward to receiving my order,
I found better deals for most of my books on a different site, but I was grateful for the amazing deal for the book I did end up purchasing!

Order books well in advance. Expect items to be cancelled and refunded several times. I ordered right before classes started, now I am two weeks in and still have no books.
I have rented books several times and this company have given excellent service. I have not encountered the out of stock on any book I've ordered and the prices are the best
The books are priced very accurate and they come in the mail at a timely manner. I am a happy customer and hope to appreciate the website and prices
It a fraud, avoid at any cost. I was just swindled for 1 book for which I had to pay return shipping and the other is somehow lost in shipping. For 2 books I got nothing, you better sell your college books locally.

I tutor and purchase books often for my students and recommend this site for college students to save money. AAA rating from me!
I was shocked at how cheap I found one of the textbooks I needed for my last quarter in college. The other two I needed were very similarly priced but were a tad more expensive than what I paid for them on Amazon. The cheaper book was a $30.00 savings including shipping.
They do cheap rentals and do really good buy backs. However their customer service sucks. I have rented from them in the past and they take forever to ship out and they take forever to look through books to see how much they will give you for books...
You can buy popular DVDs from third party sellers... really inexpensively compared to Amazon.com. It's easy to use the site. They have good customer service and tech support.
The selection process was great, however the payment process was not very user friendly and time consuming. I reached out for help and chat rep gave me some tips however no contact number listed on web to call personally
The purchase was fast and I found what I was looking for at a cheap price. I really enjoyed the experience will be back for more books.
I have ordered twice now from this website and wow! Just wow. I'm amazed at the prices. Even though you get sometimes used books, they're still in wonderful condition for extremely cheap prices. Everything is delivered on time when it says it will arrive. It's crazy to me that there's options like this. I hadn't known about this before my college recommended it. I'm glad I have discovered ordering my college books from Valore! It's saved me so much money in the long run. I can get 15 books for the price of just 1.
This is my first time ordering from this site. Less expensive than my school bookstore. If everything is delivered without any problems I would definitely use them again.
So far it is great, but I wonder why they want a review 2 seconds after I placed my order? The price is right, and as long as I receive my book on time, and in good shape I will be happy to rate this site higher.
This company is a complete scam. I wish I never would have encountered them. Seek out a more reputable organization for textbooks. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the positive reviews were paid for. Their customer service is awful.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site. It would be faster to just throw your money in the trash.

Hello Tina, I am sorry you were not happy with our service. I have reviewed your order and see that your order was not created on a Valorebooks sellback site. Your order was placed through Textbookx.com. Valorebooks is the 3rd party marketplace who agreed to purchase your textbook if your book met our acceptable conditions policy which it has not, unfortunately. According to the terms and conditions of TextbookX.com you are required to provide a return label for your rejected item. As explained by our support team, this is Not a Valorebooks policy but a policy documented within the terms and conditions of TextbookX.com. If you have any further questions, we suggest contacting their support team regarding their return policy. My apologies again.
This service provides books at reasonable prices! Textbooks aren't getting any cheaper but I can always count on this site to provide the best possible options for my coursework.
Everything was easy to find, prices were reasonable and reliable for rentals, Layout of website was very user friendly and neat.
I tried to order a number of college textbooks on Sept 5, but two days after confirming my order it was cancelled. I missed the cancelation email but noticed I was never charged about two weeks later. I figured something had gone wrong and re-ordered the books on Sept 20. One day later that order was also cancelled. Confused, but wondering if a problem with a single book would hold up the entire order instead of just being removed from the order, I ordered 4 books on 4 different orders on Sept 24. All 4 orders were cancelled with the same generic, non-informative message on Sept 27.
All of the books I attempted to order are still showing up in search on their site, so it's baffling to me what is going wrong. If they're not actually in stock, or the (multiple, different) vendors that had them on offer weren't making them available, then why have they been on the site for weeks?
They refunded/wiped out all the charges, so I don't think this is an outright scam, but it's still super frustrating.
Hello K. H. I am sorry about your previous shopping experience. Any further questions please contact our customer support team at cs@valorebooks.com.
Really awesome site, nice reasonable price. I hope everything will work out considering I read some of the other reviews that didn't work out for other buyers. I often times would rather rent a book than buy a book. After I started price comparison I will never buy a brand new with a buy back option because these sellers will never buy back these books due to changing conditions such as moving to another edition. So I enjoy renting school books any day of the week.
Good prices quick check out, great options for text books! Would shop here again for textbooks just as good as amazon or chegg
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..
Love this site. Books are very affordable and site is easy to navigate. I never buy books anywhere else anymore!
