Good to older books

published

Books were in good condition. They had great postage, packed well for postage. It's good that you get good quality old books. The information in old books is still new information for anyone who chooses to read them.

Hard to put down, a real page turner.

published

As a former defence force member I fully understood the implications of the facts that the author Pete Earley presented. It reads like any of the best spy thrillers by Len Deighton or John Le Carre. It puts you there amongst the action and gives you an insight into the minds of the protagonists.

Great product and servide

published

I recently purchased a book from World of Books as I like the idea of recycling used books. I find books to be valuable resources both for learning and reading for pleasure and having the option to purchase a book rather than seeing it thrown away is very satisfying.
As always items bought from World of Books are in excellent condition, and arrived within the stated time even though the possibility of disruptions due to the covd-19 restrictions.
Thanks you World of Books for continuing to provide your usual excellent service and products.

Beware of this company

published

Fellow Australians beware about this company, you may trustful believe that under the .com.au is an Australian company but incorrect!. The company has a PO BOX in NSW, but is based in Sussex, England, so any issue with a book you will be asked to return it to England. I know by Australian law is unlawful what they are doing so think twice before clicking the Pay button. Also all the complains about delays in the deliveries is for the same reason, long travel.

Great customer service

published

I have processed 2 orders from them. The first I never received. After emailing them they asked I wait another couple days and when it still did not come I emailed them once again and they replied within 24 hours saying they have processed a refund. Very happy. The second order I got within a week. They are well read books but still good quality, so I am also very happy with that.

World of Books are amazing

published

I have purchased several books from World of Books and they have NEVER ever let me down. Even when the transaction doesn't quite pan out the way it is meant to, they will do their utmost to bring a resolution. The prices are more than reasonable and to find books which are so hard to obtain, is always a pleasure. Thank you World of Books, your customer service is outstanding and thoroughly enjoy browsing through your enormous catalogue of titles...especially the cook books!.

In my experience with World of Books most of my purchases have arrived around the time that was specified. Occasionally an item might arrive the day after the specified time. If I have been concerned I have contacted World of Books and they have always answered my concerns promptly. Usually it has been suggested to wait a couple of more days after the specified date as often the postal service is the reason for the delay. World of Books have always asked me to let them know if the item fails to arrive as it can then be addressed.

Hi Ros, count on ten days if you live interstate in a rural location. Australia Post will keep you updated on line through their tracking system. My last order arrived in my post office box here in rural SA right on the tenth day.

I ordered the music shop but it hasn’t arrived at our PO Box yet? You ask me for a review but a bit premature.
