Coupon window messed up purchase, had to wait a day and retry.
Postage is excessive for two books if they are to be sent together.
So easy to buy English Books! Thank you very much!
I thought to use the voucher you sent me (unsolicited) for £3 off a purchase of £25. But now I am told that the £25 does not include postage, which amounts to nearly 40% of my order. I am disappointed.
The have most of the things I'm after at a good price (after shipping, something that rules out a lot of places), and shipping times are normally good. Never had any issues as far as I can recal.
I wanted to change my email address, but could find no way of doing so
Actual purchase process is fine, but I could not find where the "Good", "Very good", etc. book conditions are defined.
I really like to know if there are, or are likely to be, faults in the book that I would find unacceptable, or other faults that I would be happy to accept only if the price is right
Quick and easy transaction. Always happy with previous purchases and service, so hope this is no different.
Tried last week Put in basket set up a/c book gone
Great place to find high quality used books at great prices!
Nice and quick and easy. Found the book I was looking for then another popped up as a suggestion.
Quick and easy, looking forward to getting the book!
Straight to the point and recognised me after many years.
Ordered books usually arrive - if not, I will get refund.
The book I bought was the lowest price on the internet.
Range of titles wide, security good, delivery price very good,
So much choice at a good range of prices and book conditions. Best second hand book site by far, tried all the better known ones Amazon, Abe and Wob All More expensive and less choice!
Always a very good experience.
