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.

Great as always
November 4, 2022

This was a book I wanted to give as a present so really needed it to be in very good condition as described. I wasn't disappointed and the free prompt delivery was a huge bonus

Unreliable
October 19, 2022

Ordered 2 books, one never arrived and another which was apparently in "good to excellent condition" was covered in brown marks and rips, I asked for a refund or replacement for the book that never arrived and they never contacted me again

Complete Confusion
September 26, 2022

They sent me a paperback when the product description very clearly said that it was a hardback. Then they blamed me because I did not look up the ISBN and I was responsible for return postage. Then someone with sense apologized, told me the matter was complete and to please donate the book a to a charity (which I did). Now, I receive a notification that my money won't be refunded until I return the book. These people don't know how to conduct business.

AVOID THIS COMPANY
September 22, 2022

Purchased a book and it arrived damaged - not a surprise as it came in a plstic bag with no corner protection

Have emailed customer service and am being totally ignored I also found a phone number but that tell you to send them an email

Any company that has a phone number but refuses to talk to their customers clearly has something to hide...

Excellent experience again
December 19, 2022

The book I ordered was as described as 'like new' and it doesn't look like it's been read. Fabulous condition and excellent service from ordering to delivery. Well done & thank you!
