The book was due to be received by Aug 1. That is why I bought the book. On Aug 7 the order status is showing "processing". As I will not receive the book by Aug 8, I had to cancel.
I did receive a full refund. Thank you.
I would like to suggest that if the order cannot be filled, the customer be contacted and advised about the delay in the order.

False advertising
September 3, 2023

I searched the web for a book my child wanted and found it advertised new and cheaper than used versions on this site. I ordered the book only to have the order canceled a week later, by the website, because they never had the book to begin with.

Why List What Cant Be Bought
August 25, 2023

Out of the handful of books i tried to order i only got one, the rest apparently cant be sourced but you can buy them, then you get a refund and a waste of time.

Cancelled order
August 24, 2023

My order was eventually cancelled because they ended up not having the book they had sold me. While I got refunded, this is hardly the service I expect form professional book sellers. Get your inventory database in order!

Ordering the books was so amazing and easy. But, I'm very disappointed that I never received my order.

Horrible experience.
August 4, 2023

Because my billing info was "irregular" (?) my order was cancelled and I was NOT notified. It was falsely marked as "delivered" and I guess no one was planning on ever telling me that it was cancelled? Now, I have to try to order it again, and the books are now MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHEN I ORDERED THEM THE FIRST TIME. This is the worst site and the worst customer service and I've had a terrible experience with BiggerBooks. I recommend purchasing books from ANY other site.

I searched for a book on google and found it on BiggerBooks. I ordered the book.

2 weeks later I received an email from SiteJabber asking me to review the book. I realized that I had never received it so I contacted support.

This is the only response they sent back:
"I apologize but your order has been cancelled because we were unable to ship the item requested"

Nothing about a refund, no next steps, no help. I've had to follow up with my credit card to ensure payment is refunded and I also need to go search for that book again.
