BOOKS etc. Reviews 

Product as described. Delivered in good time.
Pleased that when a title is print on demand that this was indicated on the books web page before purchase.

I have ordered quite a lot of books from Books etc. They are one of the best retailers for packaging, especially for large, heavy books. They do take several days to dispatch but you can guarantee that the book will arrive undamaged unlike Amazon who let books bounce around inside boxes or send them in wafer thin packaging. Books etc pack large books in a cardboard mailer then pack that in a sturdy box with plently of packing. Books etc usually has the best prices as well. Occasionally a book gets cancelled due to supply problems, but I can accept that.

I'm late with this review erroneously waiting for an email with a link in it for a review. Sorry , Books etc.
Anyway, Reference: 204-2256737-3238768 : the delivery of the book I ordered Greatness Awaits You (the 5 Pillars of Real Leadership) by Lt. Col. (Rtd) Riccardo Bosi was rapid and dispatched in short order. There were no delivery charges. Very business like. I like this company and would use it whenever I could . Incidentally, I can also really recommend the book.

Normally I don't have a problem with this company. I've never had any issues until now.
Twice I ordered a copy of DCeased omnibus. Both times the book was in stock when ordering.
Both times my order has had to be cancelled and refunded. When I rang up they just said it's a problem with the system and stocking. Absolute joke tbh.

A terrible experience, unable to send a book as a gift without an invoice, only one postage method and automated responses with small edits, customer service not personable at all. Disappointing. Cancelled my order.

Fast becoming my go to, for graphic novels and Omnibus collections. Very secure packaging and excellent communication, collections as described !!!

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! Two orders with this 'company' through amazon. Both orders got lost. Asked for tracking number to contact royal mail. I was ignored. Refund apparently issued, no money in my account. These theives took my money, didnt send my order and DID NOT give my money back!! Absolute SCAM COMPANY

Prompt deliveries, reasonable prices. Exploring Midsomer popular with visitors.

I ordered a book on 9th of this month. In the confirmation email it said I would be notified when the book had been posted. Today 26 April, after not hearing from them, I wrote an email complaining. They say they run into problems in the warehouse, they have the same book advertised at almost the same price! They have issued a refund. I have contacted my bank and notified them. Not buying from Books etc ever again.

Everything worked, no issues.

I ordered a book from this company. The listing on eBay stated it would be sent by Royal Mail, and BOOKS etc. confirmed this via an eBay message. But it was sent by a different courier instead. This unreliable logistics caused me a lot of hassle and annoyance. Customer service was poor and evasive. Their incompetence was explained away as an "upgrade"!

Ordered a book, heard nothing from them, no confirmation etc. Contacted them asking what was happening. They replied quite quickly saying the book wasn't available & would take about a week more. In the meantime they took my money. The book eventually arrived about 10 days late which was unfortunate as it was a gift for the previous week. When it did arrive, the book was in perfect condition.

Books, etc. are refusing to accept my latest order with the following "The seller isn't accepting bids or offers from you." I have been trying for five days to find out from them why this is so, but they are simply not replying. I will adjust or delete this review accordingly once they have responded.

I ordered a book from the Netherlands. The book they shipped was in excellent condition.
They delicately protected it. Best price, free delivery and delivered quickly.

I bought a boxed set of the Iliad & Odyssey from Books Etc on their Ebay shop back in March 2024. The product was described as new and I paid over £30. When the item arrived it seemed fine, with no obvious damage. I did not read the books immediately. However, when I started reading a few months later I discovered that one of the pages in the Iliad is badly ripped, with text missing as a result.

Acheter 1 livre via Amazon chez BOOKS etc (UK), le 20 novembre posté par BOOKS le 8 décembre et arrivé seulement le 8 janvier. Les informations de suivi étaient complètement erronées entre celles données par Amazon, celle données par Books et celles de la Poste. Et la surprise est venue quand il a fallu payer la douane et la TVA pour débloquer la situation (chose pas du tout clairement faite par le vendeur sur le site d'achat). N'achetez pas sur un site UK si vous n'êtes pas prêt à affronter les frais de douane et la lenteur du processus d'administration (TVA et frais de douane). Bref un vrai parcours du combattant pour un livre d'étudiant. J'ai trouvé cela vraiment choquant. Merci les anglais, je vous éviterai à l'avenir

Avoid this firm. They promise an 2-3 day delivery and when it doesn’t come after over 10 days will still not give us our money back

Books etc., is a reliable online book seller, that offers a vast inventory of subjects at competitive prices plus free delivery within a few days of placement of my order. I have used them for a number of years and have been very happy with all my transactions.

I am impressed with the prices at BOOKS etc. New books are delivered quickly and at a lower cost than elsewhere - often at a better price than secondhand!

Ordered a book through Amazon Prime on November 2nd that failed to arrive. The Courier was allegedly USPS but when I tried tracking it was an invalid ID. Amazon offered a refund because it appears the order has been lost. We really want the book so gave Books etc a chance to re-order. Still waiting and wondering if Books Etc is a bona fide seller??
