Will not be buying from this company… Will not be buying from this company again. Bought 20 books from book outlet and 6 came damaged. They said they were ordered scratch and dent couldn't remember if that is what it said when I ordered these books. Two were really badly damaged torn page and also some ink fingerprints on one of them. Don't think they should even sold these to me they belong in recycling. Not even thrift stores would sell such books in that condition. I paid over $5 for some of these books and was expecting them to come in better condition. The other 14 books were in very good condition and most of them were under $5 which doesn't make sense to me. They would not give me a refund or discount so I will never buy books from them again. Definitely don't recommend buying books from them. This is the response I got after contacting the Better Business Bureau to launch a complaint. These books are marked UP TO 95% off (in the range of 50-95%). Regardless, they are still listed as Scratch & Dent and arrived in the exact condition we promised - with some scratches, dents, tears and various other cosmetic issues, such as missing dust jackets. The books are structurally sound, guaranteed great for reading. The customer purchased these books in this condition fully knowing they will have cosmetic wear. A refund will not be issued as ALL of the required information was very clearly provided to the customer prior to their purchase. Not impressed at all the books were in very bad condition and should not even be sold at their so called discounted price.

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.

Horrible Customer Service I have purchased over $350 worth of books recently, and used many of the coupons I've saved from my recent orders. Upon receiving damaged items, I contacted the Book Outlet Customer Service. I was told that they would give me credits for the books that were damaged. Then, I received a message saying that because I had used multiple coupons, this would "need to be looked into". No response from customer service since then, as it appears I am being entirely ignored. While they were investigating my use of multiple coupons, they should've investigated their obvious lying about the condition of books on their site. Denying me a return/refund/credit for items that were NOT AS DESCRIBED is ridiculous. My family visits the Book Outlet retail store at least once a week (has been since it was literally opened), and I make many purchases myself. But my business will be going elsewhere, as will the rest of my family's, and all of my 5 star reviews will be changed to 1 star because this kind of behaviour is juvenile and uncalled for and I won't purchase from a company that can't own up to its own quality errors and instead tries to turn it around on the customer.
