I have just received the book I ordered from WOB. It stated that the book was in very good condition. If the state of this book is very good condition,I dread to think what a fair condition is. The back cover was covered in nail varnish and the inside pages were stained. I'm not happy. In the dustbin it goes!!

Ordered four hardcover to replace old paperbacks. WOB sent one of the books as another paperback. Although they offered a refund they refused to pay postage despite the website having a hardcover/paperback filter AND a promise that WOB will pay return postage if they send the wrong item. Misleading customers through false advertising. All for the sake of a pound or two in postage.

Really bad customer service policy. You get no information about delivery times when you order. Only after payment you discover that it can take up to a month to get your book. Despite you try to cancel the order straight away, they refuse. They don't answer e-mails in several days and you are left with nothing. Never order anything you need the next month.

Bought a second-hand book described as 'very good condition'. The pages were brown with age and brittle, the cover double over at the corners. In all, in near-scrap condition! 'World of books' ask me for photos; if they can't accept my word then future dealings are not for me. They should be more interested in how the description came to be so inaccurate.

DO NOT PURCHASE BOOKS FROM THIS SITE. They are a bait & switch vendor- the volume sent to me was COMPLETELY different version than advertised. I have been trying to contact them for 4 consecutive days without a response. THESE PEOPLE ARE THIEVES.

I recently purchased Dear and Glorious Physician from World of Books. As soon as I opened it, the spine disintegrated and the book is in an appalling condition. I cannot recommend this seller.

Ordered a book, received a dispatch note and payment was taken but book never arrived. When queried I was told it was never dispatched, they had run out of stock. No communication whatsoever. The item was a present so was completely let down. Dreadful customer service. Avoid.

Just be careful when you buy books here. The children's book I ordered had a long handwritten dedication, which was not mentioned in the description of the condition of the book. World of Books informed me that since they are second hand booksellers, their terms of conditions allow all dedications.

I fully believe this is the worst, by a country mile, company I have ever dealt with. Getting ready to release all correspondence with this company after receiving my 2 books. If they ever arrive. Jeff

Unfortunately, the ordered goods never arrived at me and inquiries remain unanswered! Really great when the customer is ignored! This was my first and last order!

Charged £3.79 for a "very good" condition book. First of all I had to chase it up as it hadn't arrived within a month, then I found a 0.50p sticker stuck to the back of it and to make matters worse I then noticed a few of the pages had mess stuck on the pages. Disgusting granted eveything happening with COVID-19 I've spent a lot on this site and they started off great but have experienced too many problems to continue now

Didn’t even seal my parcel with one of my most recent orders that cost over £67 and am currently waiting for them to sort it out as 7 out of the 10 books are missing. In the past I’ve had books delivered that were damp, pages missing and with felt tip writing all over them despite being advertised as in good/ excellent condition. I’ve tried to give the benefit of the doubt and have received replacement books but am fed up of the problems I’ve received in getting what I’ve paid for. Once my current issue has been resolved I will take my business elsewhere and will not recommend to any family and friends. A dissatisfied customer
