Cancelled my order without warning, no reason given. Had to call up to find out if it had actually been cancelled or not. No sorry at all just a rude worker saying I might have been too slow ordering the book or they didn't have the book in stock to complete the order and someone else had beaten me to it nevermind the same book was back up for sale that exact day. Worse service ever.

I have been chasing up the customer services dept on a daily basis awaiting the rest of my order of books which are now well overdue, or my money back. NO ANSWER. I have used world of books several times with prompt delivery etc but have been very let down by them this time and will not be using them again. I will be supporting the local charity shops now.

I have ordered the big baby book of w sears. Condition was listed 'very good'. When it arrived i could see that book was in a shockingly poor condition. Dirty, cover page torn. With big library stamps inside that it was discarded. Also prices as 80 p marked by biro. I had to wash my hand after throwing the book into the bin. I have contacted customer service of wob and asked for a refund. They never replied. So very bad impression of this company all in all....

Its been nearly a month since i placed the order. I have tried contacting them to check why the delivery is delayed, only to learn that another book will be dispatched and I am none the wiser, no book and no explanation!

The blu-ray arrived and it is not an original disc but is a copy! I'm not pleased about it.

I find the assumption that everyone is either on Facebook or Instagram difficult as I do not use either. I struggle enough with e.mail and the internet in general. Please be aware that we are not all techies! My item has still not arrived!

ORDER-1906-10434242, after 3 weeks is still incomplete. You sent the book THE A-Z OF CLASSIC FM MUSIC promptly but I still await the CLASSIC FM MUSIC cds included in the order. Not up to your usual service. Very very disappointed by such very poor service

Really bad customer service.. They did not have the book advertised on the website. After 10 days of no delivery.. had all sorts of excuses as to why they did not have the book . After several emails , more wasted time and a final threat of reporting them for misdescription and fraud I received my refund. Would not advise anyone to use them

I purchased two CD's and after a couple of days, without any explanation, my money was refunded in two separate payments and I never received them.

I ordered 3 books and only 2 were delivered. I emailed about my missing book and the response I got was quite negative. The first email said they tried to deliver the 3rd book but no one was in. (they managed to put the other 2 books through the letterbox!!!!) I was then told to check with neighbours which I have and they haven't received my book. I was also told to check my local sorting office. Turning out to be an expensive book as I drive around looking for it. Basically I have been made to feel that I have lost this book and its my fault. I should have bought a new copy of the book from Asda for just a £1 extra.

I bought a book from WorldOfBooks in AbeBooks and it's been a nightmare of a service. To start with, the shipping fee is more expensive than the book, although this doesn't bother me too much because the book is really cheap, but still worth mentioning. I bought it on March 23th and the estimated time of arrival was on May 3rd, which is kind of unnecessarily long. To my surprise, it was May 10th and I haven't received my book yet, so when I contact WorldOfBooks support asking for the tracking of the package they said they don't have tracking service and could have gotten lost so I had to search on the local postal office agencies. ...Really? 2019 and no tracking service? When you can go on any other site and got that as a minimum of service's quality guarantee. When I ask them in which postal office the package should have arrived, they don't answer. Is there any useful information that they could give me? Seems not. Getting annoyed as days pass between their slow answers through email, customer support offers me to get another copy of the book I asked or a refund. My answer was that, if they couldn't provide any kind of guarantee that my package won't get lost this time (and it isn't something out of this world to ask for a tracking number or AT LEAST the name of the postal office company that should have my package so I can spend MY time doing extra job for achieving what it should have happened normally in first place) then I would go on with the refund, because losing a second package would be a bad joke. So I've been checking my credit card daily to see if my refund has arrived, and when I asked for an estimated time of arrival for my refund some days ago, they answer telling me that the refund was made 5 days ago. And yet my credit card doesn't show any transaction of it nor has had any increase on the available credit. I know this may be an exception, but is beyond all bearing. Slow shipping, slow answer from the customer support with no useful information provided, no solutions provided. It's sad that a, seemingly renowned book selling website can't provide a service with a minimum quality level. No tracking nowadays? Or can't even tell me the postal office name to do YOUR job? And can't even get a refund correctly? Is this for stealing money or some kind of fraud? Because, with the incompetence that I've been experiencing, at this point it seems that I won't get neither my book or my money back. I would have paid for nothing and can't get refunded. (I hope not). In summary, awful service. Won't ever buy again here and I recommend you all to do the same. Really awful.

Apologies for the issues experienced with your order, I can confirm your order was shipped the same day the order was received on the 24th of March at 13.47pm. Apologies this was not received and information was not communicated with regards to the postal service used, this would have been delivered using Correos. We are currently unable to offer tracking on our items as a service, however this is soemthing we're always looking to improve. I can see a refund was initiated by our team on the 13th of May, Abebooks hold payment and all payment details and therefore are responsible for then processing this back to your card once we have initiated it. Their website shows this as being returned by them on the 17th of May so should show on your card shortly. Many thanks, World of Books
