Better World Books Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of Better World Books is mixed, with notable strengths in their extensive selection and competitive pricing, often praised for delivering books in excellent condition. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly related to shipping delays, fulfillment errors, and inadequate packaging that often leads to damaged items. Many customers express frustration over the return process and a perceived lack of responsiveness from the company. While some customers remain loyal due to the ethical practices and commitment to literacy, recurring issues with order accuracy and support hinder a consistently positive experience.

Good quality
May 31, 2020

I have probably ordered 10 books since the beginning of January they are all in good shape and arrive within 7-10 days and with the pandemic that's great time.

Cheap books that are in really good condition.
I love hardback books and they are really expensive to order new.
BetterWorldBooks makes it affordable!

Books are as described. Decent collection. Fast enough delivery. A tracker to guide customers on what hey can redeem for the points will be useful addition to the website.

It is with great joy that I received this copy of The Book of All Saints written years ago by Adrienne von Speyr. I wished since long to get it, si as to have the pleasure to read it slowly. And it has arrived on time in my box, thanks to God and to your team!

Great way to re build your library during this CCP Virus! We usually go to library but they are now closed.
These books will keep us busy. Love it.

Books were exactly as described. Both ex library but in good clean conditions aside from the library reference stickers. Took a month to arrive which I deem reasonable given distance and COVID-19 restrictions.

The book is in really good condition, but the shipping was a little bit slow (5 weeks). If you can wait, I recommend:-)
