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.

They have a great selection of books. The books came in two shipments for faster shipping. I had no issues with the books or the service.

Very disappointed after ordering a book from WOB. I bought it as it advertised as 'very good' condition. It was really bad with significant writing throughout. In addition it still had that it cost them (I am assuming) £6... yet they still charged me £30+. They offered a 50% refund (which means they still made a good profit) but also argued that 'very good' was still met as markings were not covered. Buyer beware!

Unacceptable
April 13, 2022

Tried to order the same book twice, with no explanation as to why they refunded only the cost of the book. They kept the $12+ dollars in taxes that they charged me. Not to mention the multiple foreign transactions fees. Still no book. Totally UNACCEPTABLE!

Good, prompt service
April 10, 2022

I was disappointed to see the plastic bag had split, which meant the books dust covers were slightly exposed. Difficult to know whether damage was already there as 2 books were not new, but if the protective packaging is just a thin plastic post bag then I suppose that's to be expected the risk of damage is there. At least it hadn't rained, unfortunately I didn't think to take a photo so I've not got evidence which I appreciate is not helpful.
I usually find the service excellent and prompt delivery.

USED BOOKS
April 10, 2022

The books I have purchased from this company have always been in excellent condition, good value and by extremely good authors. The postal service has done them a great service in getting the books to me in excellent time and I would always trust this company to be truthful about the condition of the books.
