I found one of the books I purchased as good condition was damaged( some pages missing) When I contacted the costumer service they sent a replacement straight away. Great communication, excellent customer service. I definitely recommend World of books. 5stars+

I have bought quite a few books from WoB, and always been impressed, especially by the condition-grading, which has been excellent, conservative even. Confident, I ordered the full set of 7 books in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I spent time picking all paperbacks, all similar- looking, all in 'very good' condition. What arrived was a motley selection of small paperbacks, big paperbacks and hardbacks, in random condition, from very good to poor and dirty. My polite complaint wash brushed off with 'send back what you don't want at your own expense'. A far cry from my previous dealings with them. What a shame, to see a company I admired and recommended to others turning out to be just another warehouse-emptier. It pains me to write this...I really had them down as a a great company.

Have already written to you concerning 3 hardback Alison muir books as in their descriptions but received paperbacks one of poor quality of the paper back cover. Ok you said to post them back but isn’t worth the money. So disappointed with you and never got a second reply. If I can’t get them replaced Foc then I ve no choice but to shout out loud to tell others to watch out for you guys and your lack of detail with your customer Dr Rodi Bain Old coach house Gamrie Banff Aberdeenshire Ab453jn rodi.bain@gmail.com

Ordered hardback editions but received paperback editions. Have emailed World of Books three times over the last month to try to get the problem corrected and have received no response to date. I have been unable to find a phone number anywhere so emails that are ignored seem to be my only option. Very dissatisfied.

Extremely negligent customer service. Their collection indeed seems vast and I anticipated a wait for my order since it is a UK-based company. However, the website is lacking in terms of shipping information beyond the generic ETA of 6-10 business days for which they do not specify if they mean shipping locally or internationally. They will not respond to inquiries regarding how much longer one should expect to wait after the 10th day has passed. At this point I'm not expecting to ever receive my order and have opened a case with Paypal to begin fighting for a refund. The prices were cheap but it's still not low enough to excuse the failure to deliver a product.

I was very pleased with the swift processing of my book order and the smooth delivery earlier than expected. I was kept informed during the whole experience. A very satisfied customer - thank you..

The reason I don't give them 5 star is that the shipping was like one month, and the packaging was so bad. It was like a light sac, damaged on 3 different places. The book is in great condition, but thanks to the poor packaging is a little scratch and small indentation on the middle of the cover. I would be super thankful if they would use some stronger packaging :(

My first order experience was amazing! Vast selection are very reasonable prices. I placed my order and waited, fingers crossed. My order was completed in eight days, from placing the order to beginning to read. And Im in the US. Great condition, correct titles, no problems. I did have a question and emailed customer service once with very timely and courteous response. Im already scanning the web site for more titles. I fully endorse this company.Mrs

Everything’s about World of Books is perfect. Quality, delivery, choice, and customer service. Postage fees are non-existent! Can’t think of anything they can improve on! I want to rate 5 stars below but can’t get it to register.

Ordered a DVD which was from a vintage era and did not expect it to be the in stock still but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived very promptly and at a very low price. I will certainly go to W of B first for any future book or DVD purchases, before checking other sites if necessary.

The book I ordered from World of Books (Ian Fleming A Personal Memoir) arrived today, just a few days after ordering. It's condition is superb, almost new, and at £5.99 it is a great bargain. I cannot praise your company enough for the excellent and enlightened work that you do in looking after and rehoming so many precious books - very well done one and all.

I have only had a good experience, buying books from, World of Books. Buying secondhand books is recycling and that has to be good. World of Books gets a recommendation from me.

Ordered two books, both were in poor condition. Postage to send back cost almost as much as the books cost so I threw them away. Complete waste of money and they cost about half the amount of a new book. However some people may have been happy with these books because they were both readable with no missing pages.

I was delighted to find 30-odd out of print books that are not available in any other format. It means once the print versions are gone, then so are the stories. Some of the books are already rare and I found World of Book's pricing was more than competitive, plus they had the largest range and multiple reprints of books I was looking for. I did make an error with the delivery address and contacted Customer Service, who were quick to respond and resolve my issue. I paid for fast delivery and the books arrived less than 48 hours later by Royal Mail. They were safely packaged and, although some are old and well read, the spines and pages are still intact and the books are still readable. Very happy! 😄
