Dear David, we did let you down and we deserve this medicine. We refunded you in full but of course that is no compensation for the disappointment. Apologies again, and best wishes, Neil

Neil went ‘over and above’ with the service to ensure the order arrived on time ( the items were presents) and even though near Christmas and obviously a busy, hectic period, my order was there with time to spare.

The books arrived in great condition and very well packed, orders I have received from other sellers have been damaged in transit. Although the order was delayed due to one of the books being out of stock I was kept well informed about the delivery date. Overall I was very happy about the service I received from Beyond Words.

Beyond Words did most very well
Beyond Words did most very well. But I like to have a tracking number at the same time with the message: the books are shipped.
For me in the Netherlands books are growing expensive from UK because of the import fees.
