One book I got was a disaster, must through it away. Therefore I by a new book now.
Unfortunately the postage has cost more than the books
Very straightforward and a great selection of books.
All good, except indicate of shipping cost for each item as I go along would be helpful.
I was disappointed not to be able to choose American Express or Paypal for payment.
I was disappointed not to have any evaluation for the delivery time.
I was disappointed not to be able to choose different options for delivery.
Also, I was not aware that the book would be coming from the US (which is fine with me). There is no mention on how Covid impacts deliveries outside of the UK. The wording you use seems like everyone is selling or importing books from/to the UK, but there exists trade outside of the UK. At least that's what I've heard:-)
I had problems getting order to be sent. Amazon a nightmare.
The payment options are a little misleading. Initially, American Express is displayed as one option. When I went to check out, only MasterCard and Visa were accepted.
So far it's been great, but I had trouble locating a German-language edition of The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal entitled Die Sonnenblume from alibris.
Very easy to find the book I wanted and payment process was simple and efficient.
Tried persistently to pay using PayPal. The webpage was broken and insisted on credit card details. PayPal gives me extra security and confidence.
Took over an hour to reset my password and was beginning to get fed up and nearly gave up
Loving the ability to buy books my daughter loves :)
Last purchase took a long time to deliver. Book got lost in Royal Mail delivery system I concluded.
I do not like intrusive polls. However, you were the only people who had this book at a reasonable and affordable price, so I heartily and gratefully thank you for that!
Easy to use. Had the book I was looking for. Bit expensive but I neither drink nor smoke and reading is my only habit!
Very straightforward transaction so far. Thank you.
Easy to find the book that I needed and at a good price too.
