I ordered three books from World of Books in October. More than 30 working days have lapsed since the order was placed but the books have not been received so far. I emailed twice to the customer service team to highlight the above issue, but no response has been received. Disappointed with the poor service and unlikely to buy again from this bookseller.

I have emailed twice now to follow up an order that has only been part delivered. I have not received a response. Sending again tonight to customerservice@worldofbooks.com in the hope I can receive an explanation about my missing items. My original order was 24th October 2018 - well over the 5 day delivery expectation!

I was sent a secondhand book with a few pages missing, by mistake of course. It was replaced after a minimum of questions and without me having to send the original back (that would have been a drag), which I much appreciated. Very good service, thankyou.

I received the 2 John Grisham books as ordered, it was disappointing that both books had quite a number of pages (around 90) that appeared to be water damaged and many more pages with corners folded down, however still good reading. I do wish that people would use bookmarks. Thank you for sending the books to me.

I had never heard of this website before, but now I have, I'll be ordering again in the near future. Easy to order (although had to try a few times to get the order to be initially accepted), delivery was swift and the quality of the books were overall what was stated.

I had never heard of this company until I was searching for a particular book. This company had it and the price was quoted in Australian dollars. There was no charge for postage. I ordered the book. It arrived in less than a week and the package it arrived in was superb. I could not fault anything from start to finish. the book quality was excellent. The one slightly confusing thing unrelated to the order was that I received an email from query the UK outlet of the companywith book prices in UK pounds and a different mailing arrangement.

I am very unhappy with the order I placed. One of the books was certainly not in excellent condition yet you refuse to refund I will never buy from you again. I paid £8,84 for a book that was only fit to give to a charity shop. Disgusting, disappointing and very poor service.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We have looked into the photos you have sent and the books do sit within our Very Good condition category. Our books are used and will show signs of being read or thumbed through. You were offered on the 12th June, that you could return the book as it would be unwanted. We have not received your book in order to issue a refund. Many thanks, World of Books

Overall - pleased with the service and delivery of my first purchase. The second hand book is in good condition as described however the book jacket is torn and very worn - slightly disappointing. However, I would use World of Books for future purchases of out of print books.

Had previously ordered from World Of Books and was very satisfied with the price, speed of delivery and condition of books. So when I saw 3 books in a series which I was after I had no hesitation in ordering them. Two of the books arrived and were in brilliant condition. However, the 3rd, which had been purchased as being in 'very good' condition, simply was not. Inside the book had been stapled right through by the spine, making the book very difficult to open up fully enough to read comfortably. I have emailed twice in the last 2 weeks and I'm still waiting on a response. :(
