No damage to product.
Okay
Easy to order and received the books promptly. However, I ordered a trilogy (paperback) and got two paperback and one hardcover copy...I really wished the 3 books were the same.
Excellent
Ordered books on the 19th, delivered on the 22nd. Packaged well, even with paying for delivery it was cheaper than anywhere else. Very happy
Great customer service
Great customer service. Really helpful and prompt in cancelling an incorrect order on my part. Unfortunately they didn’t have the set I meant to buy, but I would definitely use again. Thank you for the help.
My order wasn’t delivered
My order wasn’t delivered. When I contacted Books4People to follow up I was informed that my parcel was lost in transit. They assured me a replacement order would be dispatched urgently with overnight delivery. After I hadn’t received confirmation by the following day, they replied to say that the order had been delivered. After I again contacted them to say this is not the case, they then said they opened an investigation with Royal Mail. I do understand that packages can get lost. My main complaint is that they assured me that the situation was being rectified whilst it was not, which left me no time to make another plan for the gift these books were to have been. I’m waiting for a refund now, let’s see how that goes.

Book lost & they won't refund my money
Their courier posted my book into a Post Office post box & supplied a picture of them doing this. The book is lost and the company are refusing to refund my money even when they have photographic proof. I will never purchase from them again.
Unbelievable customer service from…
Unbelievable customer service from Books 4 People. I realised I needed some books at very short notice for Santa to give out to our KS2 children. I called the phone number and spoke to the most polite, helpful chap who sorted out my order and coordinated with his warehouse team to ensure it arrived via Parcelforce 48 hours later. I was absolutely over the moon and so relieved that the children would received their presents. Thank you so much - you saved Christmas!
Great prices and customer service
Great prices, ordered 3 sets of books for Christmas Saturday evening, shortly after realise I ordered the same set of books that I ordered month before for daughters birthday, doh! Sent email asking if possible to cancel those books, got email Sunday morning to advise they'd managed to stop order going out and had cancelled the order, really only one one set cancelled but probably easier to cancel whole order, refund processed and I reordered the 2 sets I still wanted, delivered early Tuesday morning, great customer service!
Books in a recycling bin however re sent after a poor review was left
Customer service poor unti I left a review. Mu orginal review was that they left my books in a recycling bin that then got emptied. Tracking did not show and company will not take any responsibility. Following this review they suddenly agreed to re post my books. They came the next day and where left in a safer space. This more curier issue than the company itself however the company could have handled the issue sooner rather than after a poor review. Amazing value for the books. Thanks
This company are brilliant
This company are brilliant. Really helped me out tracking down my package before it was sent out as it was incorrect.

Incorrect order refunded swiftly
I ordered from Books4people but made an error. I requested for the order to be cancelled so I could re order.
This was actioned swiftly and I have been very impressed with the service I received. I have now re ordered the correct items I wanted.
Miss-ordered - Superb customer service!
I ordered in error at 11pm on Saturday, realising the error the following day at 7am. Having ordered next day delivery I wasn’t very hopeful when emailing support that the order could be cancelled.
Within a couple of hours a member of staff email me and said they had managed to intercept the order just before dispatch. Great customer service!
I’m trying to use Amazon less these days and this store is definitely on my list as somewhere with great customer service and efficient order / dispatch!
I recently ordered from Books4People
I recently ordered from Books4People, and although the delivery driver initially messed up my order (third party/external company), the customer service team was fantastic. They replied very quickly, were extremely helpful and responsive, and immediately arranged for a replacement. The new order arrived at my house much faster than expected. Really impressed with how smoothly and professionally they handled the situation -great service overall! Would happily order from them again.
Wonderful people
I'm in NZ and had the books delivered…
I'm in NZ and had the books delivered to my son in the UK. It was easy to order and pay for the books. And great communication regarding the delivery.
