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.

Can't believe I didn't know about BWB sooner. Best book site hands down. Fast, friendly service. Great prices, even better sales. Everything was great. Will definitely buy from again.

Excellent organization
January 1, 2020

I now order almost all my books from Better World - there is a huge and changing selection where I can find books impossible to buy in local second hand bookstores. Books almost always match their description, and arrive within the stated time frame. I also appreciate that my purchases support global literacy projects.

It was fine
January 1, 2020

Got the books I ordered with no issues. I'm not a fan of them begging for online reviews by spamming me with emails, though.
