Beautiful, clean, and friendly! Great prices This! This was my first time visiting the Liberty University campus for my graduation πŸŽ“ and this was our first stop. I had not reserved a cap and gown by April 23rd and could not find any cap and gown for a masters program in navy blue on any website! We arrived after driving 9 hours to be greeted by friendly staff who cared, were fast, and friendly. I am in awe of this university and this amazing bookstore. I am so grateful for Jerry Falwell Sr.s dream of having this university. #highlyrecommend

A really nice place for students to get textbooks, LU merch, and other schooling supplies.However my favorite part of the bookstore is the selection of non academic books they have. My favorite genre is fiction specifically fantasy. And there were a lot of interesting titles that I want to dive into.

Review β„–6

I like Liberty University for the most part, but this bookstore is a horrible scam! You should never buy anything here if you can avoid it! They sell extremely overpriced books that are often over 100 dollars each. Students are forced to buy them here for these prices because many of these expensive books are required for classes and are almost impossible to find anywhere else.For example, a unimpressive average Calculus book here currently costs 148.28 dollars for a single book! This same Calculus book is required for Calculus class at Liberty, which is mandatory for most majors at Liberty. It is an egregious scam because they know that their customers are forced to pay these prices! It is so wrong and immoral that they scam poor Liberty students who often already have very little money and are quite poor! They are basically stealing from some of the very poorest people in all of America, which are college students!However, none of these things mean that you should not go to Liberty University, especially since a lot of Universities pull this exact same overpriced textbooks scam, so it is difficult to avoid anyways. Besides, reletive to the cost of tuition, about 12 thousand dollars per semester, hundreds of dollars for textbooks per semester is less then 5% of college expenses, so you may still save money overall by going to Liberty, depending on the price of your alternative options for University.

Youd expect more books in a book store. Its more of a place to pick up books ordered online and the rest is a Liberty school spirit clothing and merchandise store.

Review β„–9

In my opinion the selection was a bit dry and I could only browse 20% of the whole store because the rest was blocked or had a bunch of technology on the bottom floor, and the top floor was nothing but Liberty University paraphernalia for as far as the eye can see. But I will give it a three star because I did find some interesting selections in the, small, world history selection.

It was the one and only game we will have a pleasure of attending this year but it was fun to do so. Found something I just absolutely had to have at the bookstore, lol! Liberty zip up fleece jacket and I love it already. The band was socially distanced as well as in the student section which was nice to see. Facilities were well maintained, hot chocolate was not good.

Review β„–20

Usually I am very satisfied with the customer service and the work at this bookstore. But this semester has been one let down after the next. It is now the third week of classes and I am still waiting on a textbook I ordered July 1. I called the bookstore repeatedly and emailed them and never received a response. I understand they are busy at the time, but when I finally did get a response, the worker on the phone was rude. Additionally, every order I have placed recently has been on backorder, and these are items I need for this semester. Like I said, I understand that the store is busy at the beginning of the semester and that COVID has made things crazy. But if you’re not able to keep up with the students and their needs, maybe reopening was not the best idea. The bookstore is hurting me financially because now I am required to print and pay for multiple assignments which are contained within my textbooks that I already paid for but still do not have. I am just highly disappointed with how the bookstore is running this semester.

Review β„–24

I don’t typically give bad reviews, but this bookstore is an absolute mess. I’ve talked to so many employees trying to get ONE book and only one of them has been nice and semi helpful. I’ve emailed 3 times across an entire month and never received a reply for any of them. It is week 4 into my classes and I paid $140 for a book that I didn’t even get to use for probably 30% of the semester. OF COURSE it’s on backorder, but of course they don’t tell you they don’t have the book until after you order it, so you just have to deal with it. Save yourself the hassle and order your book from amazon. There’s no reason I should be paying this much to go to a private university and I can’t get a book to save my life.

Horrible.. went to go pick up a textbook and was told to order online and then come pick it up. This was so unprofessional, as this is not reflected on the website. Liberty is much better than this kind of 2nd rate service.. drove over an hour for this kind of service.8/23/2020Thanks for your response but did you ever think perhaps that online students living nearby may need and want to shop for text books too? Perhaps there should be a notice on your website???

Review β„–29

I was on campus for a Bands of America competition. I parked near the book store, so I thought Id stop in and buy my son a Liberty Flames ball cap. I walked in, it was quiet, but I fairly quickly found what I was looking for. There seemed to be only one employee working on the first floor and she was helping someone (presumably a student) by phone, trying to locate a book. It was taking forever. I was trying to be patient, as I knew the primary reason for the place to exist was to serve students, but my patients was being tried as this only employee hadnt even made eye contact with me. Finally another employee came down from the second floor. Finally, some help! Oh, nope... She just looked right at me and continued walking into some employee-only work area. At this point, I just said screw it, left the ball cap on the counter and walked out.

Review β„–31

I would expect that it being a Liberty bookstore the employees would be kinder, but unfortunately I haven’t had a good experience with the bookstore in the three years I’ve been here. I try to avoid getting my books from them at all costs but sometimes you don’t have another choice. Almost every staff member I have talked to when coming has been short or just plain rude. It’s frustrating and disappointing being a student and dreading going to the bookstore, especially when sometimes you have to go. I would recommend getting books elsewhere if you have the choice.

Hopefully this will help inform prospective students and their nosy parents of what the Liberty Bookstore is like.Held by Barnes and Noble, the look of the bookstore is very upper class. It has two floors and a Starbucks on the second. The store is filled with a load of LU clothing. Because it is a B&N store, the prices for clothing and other materials are going to be expensive.Book ordering can be done in store, but it is best to be done online on the Liberty Bookstore website. Just Google Liberty Bookstore, it will come up.The bookstore is located in the center of campus. It has large parking lots, and is guarded by a fleet of tow trucks. Everything is within walking distance, but no need! The bookstore even has a bus stop!That should cover the basics! Enjoy.

I bought a textbook online for the used price which was $80 cheaper than the new price. Got the receipt and a confirmation email with the used price listed. The next day I get a alert from bank reporting an excessive charge. Turns out they charged me for a new textbook for $80 more than I thought I paid. When I went to the store to find out what happened, a manager told me that this textbook didn’t have used copies and he could only charge me the new price. He said that the listed used price was a mistake. Without so much as an email, a text or any notification, I’m out $80 due to an error on their end. That’s not good customer service. And the worse thing is, that textbook doesn’t exist anywhere else, so I can’t even take my business elsewhere.

Review β„–64

I made an online order and one of the items were not in stock so I was told by an employee via voicemail that I could replace the item and so I called them back and told them what I wanted and they said they would take care of it, sounds easy right? Nope. I checked my Liberty university Vibe card today and I was charged 2 times and when I called about it, the guy I spoke to yesterday to replace the out of stock item he didnt even have enough common decency to tell me his self what happen, he told a coworker what to say to me which was bad customer service after waiting on the phone so long just to talk with him (which the girl picked up and didnt know she took me off hold so I heard everything). If you shop here, dont order online, it was and is alot of inconvenience because now I have to cancel my card and dispute the extra duplicate charge with the bank because the Liberty university bookstore staff state that they didnt charge me two times. The guy told the female to tell me to email him but why waste my time if you didnt even think my concerns were important enough to get on the phone and address them with me after I had to track you down and wait on hold forever? Horrible experience and I told them to cancel the other order that they were going to try and charge me a 3rd time for. No thanks!

Review β„–87

Apparel selection is limited to school gear and the food in the cafe is hit-and-miss, but the first floor has all the textbooks a Liberty student could need, and the second floor has all the recreational books a student (or anyone) could want in such a convenient location. The prices may not always be the best, but the employees are helpful and, since most are students themselves, they will answer questions truthfully. When an employee told me I may not need to buy a particular textbook because it is included online in a digital format with the class, they earned my trust.
