I ordered a rare title from this company, paid for it, received confirmation and then was informed the title was unavailable. Terrible experience.

Went to buy Willkommen 2 German Intermediate course Website picture of second hand book and said CD and DVD also included. Just got the CD and DVD. I went to world of books because I wanted a book not CD and DVD. Spoke to customer services lady, so I can return at my cost. asked if they did the book I wanted and was pointed out to a mislabeled Willkommen 2 book. I told her that this looked like a second edition of the first course book. Not the 2 intermediate course. So someone else is going to be mislead She said she could do nothing about this.

Hello, Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear this. We have found the same item on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Willkommen-German-Intermediate-course-DVD/dp/1444165232/ref=tmm_abk_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= It does state that item is "Willkommen! 2 Intermediate course is a brand new multi-format German adult learning programme for classroom and home use. This listing is for the CD and DVD set. Also available is a coursebook, course pack and activity book" Sadly we do not have the book you are after in our stock, we only had the CD and DVD set of which you ordered. As the item is unwanted you would need to return it for a full refund. Once received, we will of course refund you in full. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. Many thanks, World of Books

The book I book for my son was supposed to be in very good condition. On arrival some of the pages of the books were broken. I tried to contact the customer service, but no reply. Awful customer service.

Very Poor Service Item purchased was a 2nd hand DVD box set. The item description stated "Very Good Condition". The item received was NOT so. The item came with sellotape holding the box together, x3 dvd cases were all broken and not holding together with each sleeve torn and punctured. I would describe, "Poor Condition". I contacted World of Books, but have still not received any response to date, even though my email was read as I have received the read receipt. Tried calling this company and no one picks up the phone. Was on the phone for over 10 minutes and nothing!!! Very Very Poor Company!!!!!! Be very careful as this company have very poor after sales and frankly, customer relations is very poor together with their items. I would certainly not recommend this company for any to use!!!

I found this way of buying second hand, hard to find books quite by accident and have used them several times since. I have found them efficient and helpful and would recommend them to anyone. Their prices are reasonable

This company use the thinnest, cheapest plastic (no padding) to deliver their hardback books and therefore they will be damaged in transit. Their response is to return the book (not possible in this instance as it as for a present). All other replies to my emails were obviously automated responses. I would strongly advise others not to use this company.

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.
