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

On March 21st I ordered 'States of Mind: ESP and Altered States of Consciousness'. It was described as being in 'very good' condition and cost £5.59 excluding postage. On March 21st I received an email saying the book had been dispatched. The next day I received a further email saying 'I'm afraid that during our quality control checks we found that your item was in very poor condition due to damage occurring whilst in storage at the warehouse. Unfortunately we don't have any more copies of that item in stock at the moment to replace the order with.' The book is not a common one. I looked again on Amazon and saw that only three copies were listed, including one from World of Books priced at £23.50 and described as being in 'good' condition only (I have a screen grab of this). So I've had a frustrating and puzzling experience with World of Books. Why was a book in very good condition being sold at so much less than one in just good condition? Why wasn't I told how the book got damaged? Why wasn't I sent a picture of the damaged copy so that I could choose whether I still wanted it? Why was I told World of Books didn't have another copy when they did? And surely both copies would have been stored in the same place, so why weren't both copies damaged? The two-star rating is for the prompt was my refuned request was processed.

I have bought ten books from World of Books in the past couple of months, all rated by them as in very good condition. They were in fact better than that, all at least in excellent condition and two of them clearly have never been opened. So I am thrilled with the condition of the books, and delighted to do my bit to save a tree. The books arrived within three days each time too. Couldn’t ask for better. Thank you.

4.5 stars. I've been using WoB in the past few months and I'm quite happy with them, especially with the shipping process, not only quick but also they use Royal Mail Tracked, which I deeply appreciate. They also have a great customer service, I just had a problem since one of my parcels is marked as delivered but I haven't received it and Royal mail said to contact them to make a claim. They answerd the next day and will be sending a replacement. I have also tried other websites for secondhand books but definetly will be sticking with WoB.

Hi everyone. Just thought I would add my 'twopeneth', I have only recently been buying from World of Books, although a friend told me about them years ago. I am so pleased I have started buying from them. Great selection and great prices and very good service. Thanks.

Have been buying from World of Books for years and they never disappoint. Great prices, a good selection of titles and excellent delivery times, even in the middle of the current pandemic. Warmly recommended.

My husband is a reader of certain authors and your service enables him to buy all the books in a series and read them in order. No one pretends they are perfect but recycling with your ethos appeals. He's looking for another series to buy. I have recommended you to others.

I have ordered three times from World of Books, through Amazon, and on each occasion the book was riddled with highlighting and pen annotation when the listing specifically said there would be none. I can only conclude that this is a dishonest company, 'trying it on' with unsuspecting buyers.
