Ordered 3 different books. Recieved one very quickly but the other 2 did not arrive until bring chased after the suggested 8 working days. To be fair World of Books replied promptly but I then recieved 2 copies of same book! No reply to an e-mail to Customer Services and then after chasing up via the website was advised that the outstanding book had been subject to a "high volume of orders in seconds" thus no further stock being available. Why this wasn't mentioned at the time of placing the order or when I first chased this up was not clear or explained.

I was excited to order from world of books and expected for the price (only slightly lower than rrp) that the books would be in good condition. 4 out of 6 of the books I received were not in a resale condition at all. Rips and tears along with 2 of them broken at the spine. I specifically ordered hardback for my 12 month old and was sent paperback. Apparently somewhere in the small print they can send whatever they like. Wont be ordering again.

Awful seller. Consistently overrates quality of their books. Their website states a book rated "very good" will come with a dustjacket. Mine did not come with one and featured extensive scratching on the cover. Items arrive in thin plastic sleeve. Seller does not respond to emails. Awful customer service. Buy from someone else.

After 3 e mails unanswered, and numerous unanswered calls I finally got hold of someone who informed me that my order wasn’t being processed as you didn’t have my book. You didn’t bother to tell me or refund my money , until I contacted you. So I suppose you would of kept my money and it would of been forgotten. A totally bad experience.

Although it said there were enough copies of my order in stock, this was untrue. World of books did not inform me of this and on the 20th day of waiting I enquired - still waiting for the refund...

Although it said there were enough copies of my orderin stock, there weren't. It was up to me as the customer to enquire rather than world of books to inform me of this fact - a 20 day wait is too long to be informed!

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!
