Wob Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers expressing satisfaction with their product selection and the occasional positive experience with customer service. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding service delays, poor product quality, and a lack of effective communication. Many customers reported issues with receiving incorrect items, slow refunds, and unresponsive support channels, which have led to frustration and distrust. Overall, while there are positive experiences, the prevailing sentiment suggests a need for improved reliability and customer service practices to enhance customer satisfaction.

A welter of good books
November 23, 2021

I have been buying books on a subject that has recently become a passion. In the last few days I have received six books from WOB. These are coffee table books, hardbacks and paperbacks. All were described as Very Good condition, and indeed they are. They arrived quickly and have joined my collection. I would recommend this place if you are wanting some unusual OP books.

I've only recently discovered WOB, so pleased I have! The 2 books I've ordered have arrived very quickly in very good condition. Much cheaper than Amazon and with free delivery. I've already recommended to friends and book club members to use

Health matters
November 23, 2021

The particular books purchased are for health, both physical & mental & they are used for teaching too.
Dealing with Wob is always easy, pleasant & efficient. The range is huge & the website easy to navigate with well priced shipping charges & good delivery. Would certainly recommend the company to family & friends & look forward to ordering more items soon... not just books but music & DVDs.

A GREAT SELECTION OF BOOKS
November 23, 2021

THE BOOKS MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND HAVE ORDERED FROM WOB HAVE ALL BEEN GREAT QUALITY AND DELIVERED SUPER QUICK. THE PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE AND ITS GREAT TO BE GIVING USED BOOKS A NEW HOME. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CLICK AND COLLECT AS WE ONLY LIVE DOWN THE ROAD - AND THEN WE COULD SAVE ON POSTAGE TOO!

WOB took an order saying it was in stock. Sat on it for 2 weeks without contacting me. When I emailed them to find out where it was they said they hadn't done anything about it and had no way of doing so. Messed up Birthday present. Not clever.

A really great service
November 23, 2021

A fairly obscure book was available, well priced and delivered within a few days. I will definitely use this company again.

As described
November 23, 2021

The book is indeed in very good condition. It - and others in the Robert Galbraith series - arrived very quickly. Just one quibble: the four books were very tightly packed and in using scissors to open the plastic, in which there was no obvious place to cut, I damaged the cover of one book.

I have only used WOB around 3-4 times so far. Their deliveries are really quick. The items are in excellent condition and the prices are extremely competitive. I will be using them again and definitely recommend that you do too.
