Hi Amanda, when you went in store the customer service staff were correct in telling you that you need to purchase a 'levy' item on your resource list as part of an online order. It is strange however that you were unable to complete an online order and I'd like to look into this further for you. I will send you a private message to gather further details about your situation. Thank you.

My orders both have books missing with no explanation or mention of them on the invoice... I would like an answer as well. Considering I paid $22 to have 4 books delivered, I expect to be notified if they are not available or delayed. Not happy Campion.

Hi Lorraine, thank you for your enquiry about purchasing from us. Unfortunately, we do not have a catalogue of products online available to the general public as we are generally a booklist service for schools, however, we are happy to assist and you can certainly give us a call on (02) 8905 8691. Thank you.

Hi just wondering if the plastic packaging that protects the books is biodegradable? If not can I mail it back to you, it’s just seems wasteful to throw it out.

Hi Gillie,

Many customers have asked us a similar question, and the answer is that our packaging pellets are 100% biodegradable! All of the boxes and envelopes we use are made from recycled products, so you can safely put them in your recycling bin. For more information on this topic, please click on the following link to our website: https://www.campion.com.au/protecting-books-environment-100-biodegradable-pellets/

1) Keep the book perfect, if there are any signs of damage they won't refund you.
2) Go into them directly. They don't do well with phone queries. Do it ASAP as they have a bad reputation for letting things drag out.
3) Keep a record of all your communication with them. Dates, times, ask for names.
4) If they want to deny you a refund, tell them you are within your rights as a consumer under the ACCC and you will contact the Ombudsman.

Good luck!

Campion don't make it easy for you to shop around, as they deliberately protect their website booklists from copy/past. In the past I've used booktopia.com.au, but there are heaps out there, including second hand books on ebay/gumtree. Can also try http://www.lilydalebooks.com.au/, http://www.recycledtextbooks.com.au/ and hundreds more places on google. The only item for which we have no option other than Campion is the LanguagePerfect subscription, which is simply a payment to a 3rd party... and can you believe Campion charge a delivery free for that?!! Hate, hate, hate this company. ACCC should definitely give them a look over....

I have discovered that you can look up the campion catalogue online ( http://catalogue.campion.com.au/ ) using the product code on the school booklist to obtain the ISBN to enable ordering elsewhere. I have also purchased books online and of course secondhand when available a lot cheaper but when I can't find it elsewhere I use Link Educational ( https://www.linkeducational.com.au/ ) who I have found to provide a far superior service to campion.

As mentioned, eBay, Gumtree are good alternatives. Also try booko.com.au - this website is a search engine to find all the books you need (including second hand) and will tell you the price plus postage so you can find the best alternative. Even from overseas. And not just limited to school books. If you get the app you can also search by a bar code. Also works for DVDs if you are looking for these. I have saved hundreds using booko.com.au to find the cheapest books.
AND AFTER USING CAMPION A FEW YEARS BACK I WILL NEVER NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.
PS: Don't believe the "this item is only available at Campion' in your booklists. It's simply not true, just a ruse to get you to go to them.
