Voucher purchased on weekend...

published

Didn't arrive until next business day! (they don't work weekends apparently, but have stores open on weekends according to Google)
Postal address added for online purchase was altered by QBD, for no logical reason. Details were removed from postal address.
First and last impressions left a lot to be desired! Will not bother with them again!

The pleasant and well presented installation team explained what they were doing before working diligently and with attention to detail. Opening and locking procedures were explained and everything looks great.

Pushy

published

When did it get so hard to buy a book? I just wanted a peaceful experience and to browse and purchase the book I came in for. This is not what I received. No I don’t want a $20+ book of the month that I have no interest in, or a $50 gold card upgrade (seriously what?), or a 10 cent bag, or some other up selling vouchers. I just want my book. I understand your head office must be pushing staff to upsell but honestly it’s embarrassing and makes your customers feel harassed. I prefer a more personalised approach, therefore I won’t be shopping here anymore.

Very helpful at the Miranda store, my daughter knew the part name of a book she was after, the young gentleman went off and came back with the two books in the duology. The prices are good and the store has a great selection of books

Great Customer Service

published

Yesterday I visited QBD Belmont Forum. I want management to be aware of one of there staff Linda - Linda went out of her way to find me a book that was on the computer as 1 copy in store - She checked if it had been put in the wrong place and so on and eventually found it for me . Best customer service and should be acknowledged by QBD as an asset to there store . I also work in customer service and know what a hard and sometimes unrewarding job it can be. So to be see someone go out of there way in there job was an absolute delight . Go Linda you're a Rock Star :)

Book never arrived

published

I ordered a book on 27/11/2018 as a Christmas present. I contacted the store on 13/12/2018 following up on the order as it was not received nor did I got an update about its status. Their customer service representative advised me that the order was delivered on 27/11/2018. I went back and forth with her, saying I don't have the book and she continued to advise that it was delivered.
Then they just stopped responding to my email, I ask placed a complaint online and contacted them daily with no response.
I will be claiming a refund with zippay and never ordering from this store again.

Good service - something hard to come by in our modern day era

published

QBD book shop is a go to for me. They have have most of he books I want to buy and when I was having trouble finding a book, a staff member took it upon herself to look up the book on the website and take me directly to where the book was located. She was friendly and you could tell she was well trained and familiar with the book store. I've been really happy with the quality of the service and books in general. QBD is a bookstore I would keep going to again and again. I would highly recommend it!

Helpful customer service!

published

I purchased a few books during a big sale and qbd notified me that my credit card would not be charged until the order was ready to ship. This was good because several books became out of stock and were removed from the order. They still have me my free shipping though and when one book didn't arrive I contacted them by phone and within minutes the issue was resolved. The customer service officer was very polite and helpful. Despite issues it was a positive experience.

Rethink your packaging for online orders

published

Received my online order today and the box was filled with packing peanuts. I haven’t seen these in years, I thought companies had evolved. Packing peanuts are not recyclable or biodegradable! There are so many other options. I won’t be shopping online with you guys any more for this reason.

Online service is terrible

published

So quick

published

Dear QBD BOOK SHOP,
I’m 11 years old and I went into to the shop on Tuesday the 26th of December and I was looking for a book called ‘THE SECRETS WE KEEP‘ we went into your store and asked the lady at the counter.She said that she unfortunately did not have it in stock but she could order it for us. So she ordered it and said it will be here in exactly 5 days.I was so excited.
On the 3rd day of waiting we got a message saying it came. I was so surprised at how well it came.
I was at first happy that it was 5 days because it normally is like three weeks or so but three days.
I was so happy and grateful.
Your staff has amazing gratitude and you service is astonishing
Thx!

Excellent customer service

Have to order in November to get before Christmas.

published

A bit dissapointed that I ordered a couple of books on the 11th December for Christmas.
They weren't sent to the post office till the 16th and you use Australia Post which means they are scheduled to be delivered end of December.
A bit annoying that it will take so long to receive them. I couldn't find a way to cancel the order either. I wasn't awear I had to wait for someone to finish reading the books before they could be sent.

Disappointed

published

Bought my husband a gift card from QBD and didn't realise it expires after 12 months. Went to the store to see if there was anything they might be willing to do to help - they were rude & totally inflexible... Looks like I just gave the store $50 for absolutely nothing. Will never shop there again. Don't tell me they couldn't have honoured it or at least part of it???
Greedy.
