I ordered seven hardcover books and… I ordered seven hardcover books and they all arrived in great condition and to my surprise one came as an autographed copy :-) shipping was a little delayed but all things considered it was reasonable. I've already started shopping for my next order.

Painfully Slow Shipping Shipping took forever. The tracking they provide does not offer any explanation.

Wouldn't buy from them online again. I received a book that was heavily damaged in one corner (the dust jacket had two 1” tears and was crinkled up, the cover board was scrunched in, and the last 60 pages were folded up). It was a “bargain” book, not a “scratch and dent,” so it wasn’t supposed to have damage. I wanted to return the book for a refund (or exchange it if they were getting more in stock), but Book Outlet only offered a 50% refund since they didn’t think the damage warranted more. They said their books are always going to have additional shelf wear, and that most companies would not take liability for products that arrive damaged. There’s a big difference between normal shelf wear and actual damage, and I don’t know any companies that wouldn’t take full responsibility for not packing their products adequately for shipment. Seems disingenuous for a company to boast about the great condition of their books but then dismiss damage as “shelf wear” you should have expected. They offered a full credit for the book to my Book Outlet account after multiple messages, but by then I was fed up. They have cheap prices, but if they’re sending damaged books that have to be repurchased elsewhere at full price it means spending extra money and dealing with extra hassle.

Where oh where have the books gone? We ordered a whole bunch of books for a baby shower and sent them from New York to Delaware. I contacted them because they never arrived. It took almost two and a half months to figure out that the books were lost. They were good about refunding and said the books will probably appear there sometime down the road... but something was a little off. The tracking said they were in Philly but no one could find them on either end. Here it is a year later and still no books.🤦🏻‍♀️

Shipping took a while but was well… Shipping took a while but was well within the upfront given time-frame. The book itself was like new - so nothing to complain about.
