Interesting catalogue - mainly books about men it seems. I returned a book but haven't got a refund yet.

The books and service are excellent; the delivery system is deplorable. At the age of 85 I had to go round the district searching for the book "successfully delivered" by Evri. I eventually found it, wet, in the rain, on the windowsill of someone else's house. This has happened several times. I will no longer deal with any company that uses Evri; they are not fit for purpose.

Good morning Austin, I'm sorry to hear about the failed delivery with your recent order with us, please accept my profuse apologies. We find Evri to be an effective and efficient courier, and that 98% of their parcels are delivered to the correct location earlier than the estimated lead time. However, I appreciate that your experience was not a positive one, and we take non-compliant deliveries such as this seriously. Please rest assured that this will be raised with the courier's Customer Complaints team so that it can be addressed with the driver in question, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can see that a full refund has been processed for you after contact with our Customer Service team, and I'm pleased to hear that you're now in possession of the parcel. I hope that our inner packaging has ensured that the contents remained in the pristine condition they were sent out in. Given that you are a long standing and loyal customer, we will be sad to see you leave us. Should you wish to return at any point, please get in touch and we can advise of all available delivery options for you to ensure that this does not occur again. Kind regards, Postscript Customer Services

The book arrived in good condition but it had partially fallen out of the package and the paper sleeve was torn and wrinkles. The delivery note had fallen out. Luckily it was a dry day and I am happy with the state of the book itself.

Received my order OK it was just the way the courier EVRI delivered it, no contact whatsoever had to go onto their website to find out where the parcel was.

I like Postscript books. The magazine is good quality. I was unhappy with Evri delivery though. It's never been the same since it changed from Hermes.

Although they offer great books at unbeatable prices they fail on customer service by ignoring emails from those with a genuine concern or complaint. I didn’t see the offer of free postage on orders over 25 pounds and so paid more than I need have done and they ignored two emails bringing this to their attention so I can’t recommend them

The process to order was great, it was the delivery that let the side down. We paid extra for next day delivery on the Friday, but Evri didn't deliver until gone 8pm on Sunday, leaving 2 parcels with a value of £240 at the locked school gates. We were very lucky they were still there when we arrived on Monday.

Cookery books boring, too much cake decorating. More curry and asian books needed. If you supply good recipe books not some of these silly titles we would buy then

Delighted with quality of book purchased. Very disappointed with method of delivery (Evri). Book was delivered by courier to wrong address (77 instead of 73 Barnards Green Road). We only received it one week later because neighbour delivered it to us.

Hi Leigh, I'm sorry to hear that the courier left the parcel with one of your neighbours, resulting in a delay in you receiving it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, all feedback like this is passed to the courier for internal review with the aim of improving the service offered. To say thank you for your understanding, here is 20% off your next order when you use code Christmas20 by phone or online by 29 February 2024.  However, I am happy to hear that you were happy with the item when it was received. Kind regards, Postscript Books

The order arrived in due time. However it was disappointing that a book set of two was not in stock. As a result a credit of £6.99 was made. Any subsequent orders would require an additional £3 delivery charge.

Good morning Mr Sinclair, As a limited stock retailer, we do sometimes have items go out of stock which have proven to be very popular with our customers. I am glad to see that you were immediately reimbursed for the missing items. Our telephone and online ordering customers benefit from the advantages of real time information as to whether a product is out of stock, but unfortunately this is impossible to achieve for our customers who choose to order via post. We are always looking at ways we can improve the ordering experience for all of our customers, and your comments will be added to those made available for review. Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts, it is very much appreciated. Kind regards postscript Books

I ordered several books. One of the books was bound with pages out of sequence. It was replaced and the replacement book has the same problem.

Good afternoon Mr Jackson, I was concerned upon reading your comments about The Amazing Animal Atlas, so I have just acquired a physical copy from our warehouse to check this out myself. Immediately I can see where the confusion may lie, as I too had to double check. At first glance the pages do appear to be out of numerical sequence. However, there are several pages in the book which actually lift from the spine to create a larger fold out view of the information. So for example, you will see that it skips from page 15 to 17, but if you fold out from the spine, you will see that the pages fold out to reveal page 16 and others, this is true throughout the book. I am sorry for the confusion, but hopefully now you can enjoy the full beauty of this wonderful book. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, as I will now share this with our Customer Services Team should they have any enquiries like this from other customers. Take care Mr Jackson and enjoy the atlas. Kind regards Postscript Books

Although I was in at the time of the delivery,between 3 and 5pm, the bell was not rung.So when online it said it had been delivered I did not know it had been put in Green bin at the side of the house as no note was put through the letter box. Luckily the wet did not get through the superb packing..

Hello Mr. Payne. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't notified of the safe place where your parcel was left. I can see on your account that the courier left it in the requested safe place, and you should have received an email to confirm this, however I will raise this with the courier for review. I'm pleased to hear that our eco friendly packaging ensured that the contents were not damaged as a result, and hope that you enjoy your books.

I was at home waiting for delivery but the delivery person did not use the doorbell so he/she delivered to my neighbour. This was slightly annoying but the books were well packed and in good order

Hello Glyn. Thank you for your feedback regarding the delivery service with your latest order, although I'm sorry to hear that your parcel was not delivered directly to you. I can see that we have an instruction to deliver to a neighbour, however this should only be the case if you are out and the courier cannot hand it to you. I will ensure that this is passed to the courier for review so that it can be taken into consideration for future deliveries. I'm glad to hear that you're happy with your order and that the inner packaging ensured the good condition of the books when they reached you.

Good service from Postscript books, but the actual book itself was dreadful.......just shows that there is no substitute for browsing in a bookshop - catalogue or on-line run the risk of delivering a dud.

I'm not sure what can be written other than everything matches my expectations. I.e., I go to the site, I order the books, (although getting several books coming up when you enter a code seems to indicate a weakness in the identification process.) the books arrive within the stated period. All of this is in line with my expectations. When what is received is as expected then the response is neither 'good' nor 'bad'; simply "not bad", "acceptable", "Ok" etc. I have promoted the company to colleagues in my reading group and some have taken out memberships. I will be leaving some past catalogues with several craft groups on Wednesday and some members may take out memberships with Postscript.
