“You have completely complicated the ordering process for teachers by taking away the student flyer orders. Not all parents use the internet or will not take the time to order books when they can do it easier on Amazon. I refuse to pay shipping and handling for my student orders. Ridiculous! I have been a customer for 17 years-but I will no longer be using scholastic books. Your representative Karen was curt and rude when I inquired about this. She said hang on to orders until it totals more than $25.00. So students have to wait until someone else decides to order??!! Again-RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Good luck with your sales.”

“Scholastic has now changed their student flyers, so that students MUST order online. I am a teacher, who has given out flyers and done class book orders for over 25 years! When I contacted Scholastic to explain that the students I work with need to order books at school, from me, as some are homeless or have no tech at home, the company did NOT respond to my plea. I created my own order form for the student flyers, so that my students could order the books that they wanted from me at school. Today, when I went to put their orders on the Scholastic website, I discovered there is no place to put student orders in. I contacted Scholastic and in a chat response from a rep named Christian, I was informed that I had to put the student orders in under teacher and I was going to be taxed on them. I had to pay almost $10 of my own money, so that my students could get books that in the past were NOT TAXED. The rep Christian had zero solutions for this problem. Because I promised my students their books I put in their orders, under teacher, and paid the tax. I have personally made this company a GREAT deal of money over the years, with my student orders. This, however, will be my LAST book order with Scholastic. It used to be a teacher friendly company, but not anymore.”

“Just checked the new book fliers and I cannot believe the prices! The price for a book has doubled or tripled since I ordered in April! No one will be able to afford these prices. I will buy books at Wal Mart or Amazon from now on.”

“If you are looking for LGBT books, this is the place to find those books for elementary students. If you're against this woke agenda, boycott them and stop buying anything from scholastic! There are other forms to support the schools!”

“Horrible customer service. My class order wasn't even shipped, literally placed the order 12 hours before. Said I couldn't change anything eventhough it hadn't even shipped. Her response, there's no one to help you, just return the books.”

“The children where I work ordered books in February and they still haven't received the books nor have the parents received their money back. One parent ordered seventy five dollars worth of books and no one is giving answers. I will never deal with this company again.”

“Frightening books for elementary kiddos. The thrills and chills section of demon possessions is worse than anything I let my kids be exposed to. We are banning these books fairs from now on.”

“Something happened with the payment, so they send me an email asking to pay the invoice again by phone. I did it. One week after this, they emailed me again charging one more time, a different amount. I sent a copy of my credit card statement and the a person named Andrea Roland insists that it is a different thing, while I didn't ordered anything else. I asked for a copy of the order and she sent the one that I did and already paid, in the previous amount. So awful. Never more.”

“This is my first purchase of books for my daughter (kinder) and I am very disappointed in how the process is. I can't pay through the school, teacher asked we all pay online and the order will be sent to the class. A month later I find out they never took my payment and there's no way to just pay it online, you have to call them directly. They have my information on file and I know I had the money even when I received the books already. So why do I have to go through the process again in going through my payment. Once I pay this off I will stick to onsite book fairs/ book stores or even just a library.”

“I usually order Christmas Favorites for my students. Unfortunately, this was not what I expected. Santa's Underwear is very inappropriate for children. There is also an image of Santa's behind on one of the pages. I was shocked and disappointed. When I called Scholastic, they refused to exchange just these books for other appropriate texts for my students. Scholastic has changed tremendously since the Pandemic. Sad.”

“Terrible customer service. They didn’t send the most important and pricey part of my order and never responded to any of my emails. Tried to take their survey from their email and surprise surprise their emailed survey don’t open in any browser (I tried all of them). They don’t want feedback, they want to steal money.”

“I looked at the Scholastic Book Club flyer that my grandkids brought home...There were very few, if any, books that I would buy for them. I am so disappointed with the selection of books and the price is way too high. My daughters also agree.”

“The app and the website are extremely hard to use. Very confusing and hard to navigate through. Puts me off buying books at all!”

“I’ve been a customer since 2001. Over the last few years I have observed how the quality of the books offered has decreased significantly while the prices have steadily increased. Gone are the $1.00 books. The parents of my students cannot afford the outrageous prices. Book order forms are filled with poor literature. Many of the books are tied to movies or cartoons. Where are the Newberry and Caldecott books? On the rare occasions that I do have parents submit an order, which allows me to earn $10 of free books, it’s a struggle to find one that I want in my classroom. Now Scholastic is pushing teachers to campaign and raise funds- asking more from parents and others- to purchase books. This company is disgusting and has clearly demonstrated that they do not care about children.”

“Books like five nights of Freddy should not be available to our children they are not educational and the fantasy story telling is undermining our Children’s beliefs and giving them the wrong imaginations of wickedness it’s filth take it Down”

“Run away from Scholastic Book Clubs... run, run as fast as you can. These folks are rude, their accounting department double charges, and then only offers a credit for more purchases on the overcharges (no refunds!), and they take months (and months!) to send out orders. I regret the day I ever heard of this company. Ugh.”

“I have stopped ordering from the Scholastic Book Club, because they have REPEATEDLY failed to deliver my orders. Their customer service is appalling; they always refer me to the school and of course the school staff help as much as they can, but it’s not their responsibility to chase up these orders. Now I purchase the books my kids want from elsewhere.”

“I have been a customer since 2001 and have never had issues like I did this past school year. Every month I had to deal with missing books, delayed orders, wrong item sent, etc. Teachers don't have time during their recesses to deal with customer service, requesting for their mistakes to be fixed. I also had an outstanding balance, which I know was not my mistake but probably a charge for a missing book they sent separately. Totally frustrating to deal with......”
