Happy customer.
September 5, 2023

My order arrived, in very good time & very well packaged. The books were in such good condition that it was difficult to tell they had previously been read. The postage charge was minimal which was a real bonus. I will certainly be watching their website for any books I am looking for in future. Thank you to Campsie Books for a very professional service.

I ordered this for a gift, needed for Thursday, because I saw that it would be posted on the day of ordering, ie Monday. Unfortunately it did not arrive until 4 days later, late morning on Friday, by which time I had already left to join the weekend celebration and it was too late.

Conrad diary
February 24, 2024

The Heart of Darkness plus Conrad's Diary is a difficult book to find. The one supplied looks new, was low priced and delivered promptly. I will be recommending this supplier to my book group.

Good customer service
September 28, 2019

We got exactly what we ordered, a new book still in its protective wrapping. The only reason I am writing a review is because I thought the customer service was very good and deserved recognition - they were very attentive and put a hand written note in the parcel which was a nice touch.

Excellent Service
November 30, 2019

Bought a copy of "Humans" by Matt Haig as a present for my daughter. I was a little unsure of buying a used title but needn't have been. The copy was exactly as described in near perfect condition and arrived quickly with a personal message from Russell. Would definitely use again.

Well Organised Order/Delivery
December 11, 2022

The book was one (out of print in Canada) I'd been searching for, for some time, and with the mail delivery strike I wasn't confident of it arriving soon. However, I'm pleased that the seller used a courier service, with tracking that works….this is the only package out of 6 from various sources that has arrived, and was the last one I ordered. The book's condition was exactly as described, and arrived very well packaged.

A personal touch to on line shopping
April 8, 2020

I was looking for a second hand version of The Diary of a Bookseller' since this is what the book is about. Everything from the name of the site to the personal email from the owner could not have been more fitting. In addition, both book stores operate from Scotland. It made the whole experience special, especially at this troubled time. The book arrived beautifully packaged and in good time. Thank you.

A bookseller who cares about the customer
August 3, 2023

There was a problem with the second-hand book I bought. There were some 8 pages that were blank, in other words, not printed. Ronnie at Campsie Books could not possibly have known this and obviously it was not his fault but he insisted on giving me a 50% refund which I didn't ask for. Now THIS is customer service. You certainly wouldn't get this from Amazon or any of the other 'big boys' I say Campsie Books gets more than 5 stars and I recommend them wholeheartedly. If you're looking for a book definitely try Campsie Books first and bad luck on you if he hasn't got the book you want and you'll have to go to one of the 'big boys' while holding your nose.

My book was dispatched to a different address
June 11, 2023

Instead of my book arriving, I had a package containing clothes from a company I had never heard of. I contacted that company and they were able to work out that the book I had ordered from Campsie books had gone to their customer and I had received their customer's clothing in error.
I have tried emailing Campsie books but not had a response.
Trying to track the parcel is very onerous involving downloading an app called "Shop" which I haven't been able to open.
All in all, very frustrating and meanwhile my book is still Sat at a stranger's house.

Apologies for Evri's mix up Sarah. It's also unfortunate that both our emails to each other ended up in spam folders.
I'm working on a solution now - dont worry, it'll get resolved either by you getting your book or a full refund... Apologies again Sarah. Thanks for your patience and glad you finally got your book.

As good as new
September 24, 2023

I wanted the third book of a series. I mostly read in my kindle, but this series was hardbacks & I do enjoy holding a real book sometimes. The price was less than kindle & the postage very reasonable. The book is in very good condition & arrived within a few days.

Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Cheap and definitely cheerful but in the best way possible. Book was a bargain and in excellent condition. Delivery was quick even during lockdown and the little note inside was a lovely, friendly little touch.
Many thanks :)
