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.

Since this was a children's book I was expecting it to be in less than perfect condition. To my surprise, even though it was a library discard, it was in excellent condition and will be a good gift for my granddaughter.

I have ordered several times with no complaints. This time I ordered multiple copies of the book which made the order to be filled from different warehouses. When the first box arrived without all of my books I was unsure of what was happening as the packing slip was missing.
I emailed and was quickly provided with all of the information I needed to feel better.
Everything about this company makes me happy.
Good inexpensive books provided by people who seem to care about the job they do.
Keep up the good work.

I have ordered several books from Better World Books and they are reliable and quick. I did have an issue with one order in which one of the items had to be cancelled, but the communication was clear.

Both books damaged.
February 21, 2020

I received a long awaited book. I could have gotten a new one, at a store for just a bit more, but have always had good experiences here.
The first one that arrived was damaged. I called to inform them that this was only one of several I'd bought in this shape. I called the post office to complain, with no luck, as presumed it was carriers fault.
BWB rep stated they would send me a replacement and that it was a "new" copy. I received the second in worse shape than the first. It was not new by any means.
I feel I was lied to.
Read John S. Review.
I do appreciate the rep trying to help me, but quite disappointed in what I received.
