Reasonably priced
Orders take a while to arrive and aren’t always packed very well - which isn’t great when my son is insistent on his books needing to be perfect in order for him to read them 😂
But they are good value for money compared to other stockists.

Fast Smooth Service
Smooth ordering process, efficient delivery, price good.
Only negative is the disproportionate additional EU charge for delivery from UK into Europe, even though value was very low. But thats the EU to blame not Awesome Books.

Dear John,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad you enjoyed your experience with our ordering process, quick dispatch, and competitive pricing. We appreciate your high rating and completely understand your frustration regarding the additional international delivery fees applied to smaller orders crossing the border.

Prompt service and books were well packaged with no plastic. However, two of the books were not in great shape. One was a battered school library book. Your quality control is usually better than this.
