Wonderful and kind customer service.

published

I would like to thank Ayana at Doncaster Dymocks for her exceptional customer service. I emailed the store to see if they had a novel (my daughter had lost at school) in stock, after replying promptly she looked up a gift card I had in my wallet and after discovering it had expired she very kindly reactivated it. This lovely act of kindness was so thoughtful and I was so grateful during these very stressful times.
Well done Dymocks, I will be recommending your store and relaying this positive experience to as many people as I can.

Interval Weight Loss For Women

published

Dr Nick Fuller has written another great book.
His scientific approach to optimum health and realistic weight loss is wonderful.
I have Interval Weight Loss For Life, I have enjoyed the book, the tips and the recipes.
I struggle to lose weight and decided to buy IWLFW. It's a great read, it's an integrated model of health.
It's easy to read and stimulating.

Return of unwanted Xmas preset

published

Returned an unwanted book present to Dymocks Melbourne store along with the return coupon inside the front cover. Person behind the counter wasn’t prepared to accept it back as it had a small crease in the corner of the cover. Floor manager wasn’t available ( how convenient). No good will what so ever . I normally buy my books at Readings and I will continue to do so.

Dymocks' Policy Contradictory

published

Dymocks' exchange policy is horrendus. The City Store do not accept an exchange note issued by another Dymocks. The Note clearly said, the item can be exchange if not suitable.

Not the best telephone attitude

published

I called the Belconnen store about a certain grammar book. The response was "I don't know". I asked "are you able to look it up?" Answer: "I am, it isn't here".

Castle Towers store, owner is absolutely shocking and store not child friendly

published

I took my 8 and 10 year old to the shop to buy books. Whilst trying to convince mh son around which book to pick the lady owner started harrassing and lecturing the 8 year old because she accidentally dropped a small diary. She came into the store happy and left teary. Whilst confronted she shows me the sign around book damage and i asked show me the damage it caused, she said i am no longer welcome in her shop. I will happily oblige, Dymocks if you are not listening to your customers, you will just be another retailer on the news filing for volluntary administration.

good place to browse and buy

published

Staff are helpful (george street or neautral bay), great selection of books and also knick knacks, particularity in the george street sydney cbd store, which also has very good opening hours. My only complaint would be sometimes some books are a bit pricey.

The most expensive bookstore in Australia

published

Dymocks is ripping their customers off. Their prices are sky high and they never agree to match other retailers prices. I shopped there few years ago, when we still had Borders and Angus and Roberstons physical stores. Those days they were competing with each other. Now theres only Dymocks as a physical bookstore so they can do whatever they want. Never shop there anymore. I buy my books online or in Kmart and Big W.

Brisbane CBD- Terrible return policy

Bought 2 diaries for my Kids. Found out wife had already bought some. Went back next day to ask for refund but none was given because it was a sale item. Please look at our return policy attach. Who reads these fine prints. Never buying anything from them again, didn't even offer store credit.

Terrible customer services

published

We were shopping in the shop where one of the staffs was suddenly yelling at our 6 years son only because he was trying to look at the book set at the presentation area. Maybe he was putting both hands pressing on the book set. The staff was firstly yelling at him behind the counter saying "hey, stop!" Then he came towards him yelling that he was trying to rip the plastic cover of the set book values $50. My son said he didn't. For the next hour or so my son was so upset because he was blindly blamed by such a rude guy thinking everyone is going to damage his books. Yelling to a kid is not going to solve the problem. If you has any drama you can directly talk to the parents. Is this how to deal with your customers? Terrible experience.

Continual SPAM messages on my mobile from Dymocks - no option to reply with STOP request

published

I bought a book from Dymocks North Lakes not so long ago. The cashier asked me if I wanted a Dymocks card. I said OK, on the proviso that I don't get any marketing material. She said this wouldn't happen. Since then I've been bombarded with SPAM messages on my mobile that have no option to reply with a STOP request. I emailed [email protected] but this was ignored. I'll be buying my books from eBay from now on.
