Apparently, DiscoverBooks went out of business in March 2024 but they continued to take orders well after that. Orders that they could not fulfill and had no intention to fulfill. Back in March, I had placed two separate orders with them. One order via their website and the other one via eBay. Fortunately, I was able to get refunds for both orders. EBay refunded me for the one that I had placed through their website, while the order that I had placed directly through DiscoverBooks's own website was refunded by PayPal.

Tracking shows that my month-old orders haven't left Toledo. USPS still awaits them. I wonder if Discovery has gone out of business and kept my money. I had previously made several orders about which I had no complaint.

Quite sure they never had the book that was advertised and never intended to ship it to me. "Customer service" was a joke. Good thing the credit card company quickly recognized the fraudulent nature of the business model and refunded my money in full. Given that their website has been off-line for weeks, let's hope it means they have gone out of business.

Discover Books has listed for sale unauthorized bootleg copies of several books for which I hold the copyright.

This is the 2nd and last time I will buy from Discover Books. Both times the books were "acceptable" at best but advertised as very good.
Try Second Sale or Thrift books instead.

I worked for this company for a year and half and my facility was closed. If you ever wonder why you buy a book and it's bad it's because of the long hours, minimum wage and ridiculous goals. The books are all bought from thrift stores. That means companies like Goodwill couldn't sell the books. The top 1% best workers are treated equal to the people on their phones all day not hitting goals. This company need a replacement of all the people running it or it will always be bad!

DO NOT USE THIS SITE! I ordered a child's book for my granddaughter and it came in damaged. I spoke to someone at discoverbooks and the said the would replace the book no charge. The second book came in today more damaged that the first one - What travaisty...you can't reach them when you need to because they don't answer calls even though there's number and the chat and email featured aren't any better. I am asking for refund and will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!

The compelling autobiography "Unstoppable" by Maria Sharapova chronicles the rise of a tennis legend from Siberia to global success. Readers gain insight into Sharapova's life outside of tennis thanks to her fascinating and open writing style. While retaining a fierce competitive drive, she opens up about her battles with injuries, drug charges, and the psychological toll of playing professional tennis. "Unstoppable" is an energising read for anyone pursuing their aspirations because to Sharapova's tenacity and resiliency, which radiate through the pages. The book also discusses her relationships and personal life, providing readers a look at the person behind the athlete. All things considered, "Unstoppable" is a great book to read if you're interested in tennis, sports, or personal development.

There are a few places that Discover Books receives their books but Goodwill is a main contributor. Cut out the over priced middle man and you can see what condition your book is in instead of a under paid and over worked employee of Discover books giving a book a exceptional rating to get numbers.

Once again, I received the wrong book from Discover. They don't accept telephone calls and do not respond to email. Awful company.

I ordered a book on 8/16/22 and received it today 8/25/22. The book was delivered ahead of schedule, well packaged, brand new as advertised and at a better price than other online resources. I made an inquiry to customer service and within hours I received a reply from Shannon who answered my questions and insured that I would have a positive experience which I did. Thank you Shannon. Because of the way you represented Discover Books, I am certain I will be a customer of yours in the future.

This company pays barely above minimum wage so I can't afford to have them take out $100 for medical. They also require a doctor note for using your paid sick day. There are so many OSHA violations still after getting multiple $6,000 fines.
Management is a joke! Will talk to the good workers about not doing enough and let the lazy people be lazy. Because Management themselves are too busy sitting at their desk playing phone games.
I am required to do more work because I do my job better, for the same pay as someone in my position. We will have 20+ people doing a job that takes half of that so we will have multiple people sitting and texting all day because or supervisor is doing the same thing.

Last week I read the reviews for Discover Books and I was feeling worried, because all the recent ones were horrible! But to my surprise, the book I purchased was shipped immediately and there were no problems. I just got the book today and it matches the description perfectly!
Discover Books is alright!

I ordered a book that never arrived. I contacted them outside the 30-day window for "returns and refunds" so too bad for me. I had been buying from them for about a year. Try another company. There are plenty of others.

I was trying to order books from here, but my card wasn't going through so I got what I wanted elsewhere. When I checked my account I saw that I was charged anyway! Never received an invoice or receipt.

After receiving the 3 books I ordered,(All advertised as "Good," or "Very Good," condition,)
imagine my disappointment of finding one missing the title page and crayon marks throughout. Yet one more reason to ALWAYS search reviews of companies.

Don't deal with them. I am a college student who needed some extra cash and decided to sell my old college textbooks. I sent in my books to discover books and received no payment. I contacted their support team and they said on one was there to take the call. Then I contacted them a couple days and they said they cannot pay me for my books and couldn't give a reason why. The books were in great condition. I asked them to send me my books back and they refused I even offered to pay the shipping, but they said the books have been recycled. This is a professional scammer organization.

For years I've bought virtually all books via the Internet. There was an unusual issue (too lengthy to describe here) with my book order to DC. After I brought it to their attention it was quickly resolved to my complete satisfaction.

I ordered two books from Discover In December for my grandson. I knew they were used but it said they were in "good" condition which was fine with me. They charged me $29 for both books, which was a little steep but I couldn't find them anywhere else. Well, one of the books came cut across the top! Yes, you got it, cut. Unreadable obviously. I was so shocked and irritated I tried to contact the company and couldn't get a hold of anyone so I contacted my credit card company to file a dispute. Discover books replied to my credit card company that the books were delivered in good condition, nothing wrong. So unprofessional and no integrity at all. Do not order from this company!

They cancelled my order after one week. They are terrible!. I would give them a minus 5 star if available!.
