For the same book with the same return date as a rental had four different prices. Emailed them several times about it and kept getting told it was a tech problem and I had to call. Even after all that it was still the cheapest place.

They only had one of the three textbooks I needed in that price range, though. Also, when I hit checkout for the first time it took me to a page full of code. That was very confusing. IT worked the second time, and the checkout process was quick, so yeah 4/5 you guys are cool.

Excellent
July 21, 2017

Experience has been excellent! Have been able to locate the needed textbooks for my classes. Even better than locating off Amazon, Offerup, and Craigslist. Able to save $$! I greatly appreciate it! :)

Left high and dry
July 18, 2017

I have 2 experiences with Valor books. When I purchased a book it took me a month for it to be shipped. When I sold a book I didn't receive payment as promised.

I put in the ISBN and my book came up quickly. I added the book to my cart, but I had to move quickly because the cart expired in 5 minutes. Thankfully I only needed one book from this site. Checkout was very easy to do. Can't wait to get started.

Repeat customer

I have been using valore to rent and buy my books for over a year now and it is by far one of my favorite rental sites out there. It is easy to use and the prices are great. I have also never had a problem returning my books it is very user friendly.

Testing the Waters
July 17, 2017

This is my first time ordering a book from here and I'm not sure yet what to expect, I have read several reviews, some are really bad and some are really good, most of them neutral though. I found the book I needed here at a very decent price, so I'm giving it a try. My class doesn't start until the 24th so I'm hoping it's here by then. We will see.

Failed Shipping
July 16, 2017

The price was right but it was too good to be true. They had a search bar for your address, but it wouldn't accept my address or my PO box. Had to use my work for shipping, but had the same issue with the billing address so I couldn't even complete my order.

The price is right, I didn't like only having 5 minutes to finish checking the other required books I need, and ordering. More time would be a little less pressure and I don't think you'd loose too many sales with your good prices.

Wow
July 12, 2017

I was excited to see that I could rent it and not worry about keeping a book I won't use again after I'm done with it

I had a promo code but nowhere to redeem it. It never asked me at checkout time. However the prices for textbooks were significantly lower than other places I had checked.

I've been a Chegg lover for my entire schooling and now I'm switching over. ValoreBooks had the textbooks that I needed and for out of this world prices! I saved over $150 by ordering books through ValoreBooks versus my original site. It was easy to use and upfront about pricing. I was able to buy books instead of renting them and it still saved me so much money.

This is the first time that I've used this site and I am happy to say that I look forward to many more semesters with books from ValoreBooks. I less on 2 books (1 rental and 1 to own) than I've ever spent on just 1 rental anywhere else! ValoreBooks, where have you been all these years?!?!?!

I needed a textbook fast at as little price as possible and they came through! I know this textbook is pricey and it is not sold at every place.

Good

Easy to work with and has great prices. Shipping costs aren't too bad either, especially if you need it expedited.
