Great customer service

Great customer service. Bree was polite over email, responded speedily, and was direct & clear about the refund process. My refund has been processed successfully and quickly so I'm happy.



I also appreciate the refund policy and the understanding of my situation!

Terrible customer service.

published

After waiting far too long for delivery, I accidentally purchased a digital textbook and desperately needed a hard copy. I contacted the company the same day and have now waited four days for them to tell me they will not exchange my product.
Terrible customer service.
Avoid at all costs.

I have already been in communication with Kathleen in regards to this order ZAU-157628.
I stand by my original review and strongly recommend people avoid your company at all costs.

Poor everything!!!

published

I Purchased a book in January and its now its march past the estimated delivery time and suddenly the book is unavailable. Really could of known that months ago. Now my course has started and I do not have my textbook.
Also, it gave me a free subscription with the book and now I have to pay for it when I still don't have my book and its been less than 30 days for the subscription.
Very Mad that Zookal just keeps taking more money and giving me nothing.
Thanks for a waste of my time

Returns non existant......

published

purchased a textbook for my daughter, accidentally ordered wrong title. Told, sorry not returns, refunds or exchanges for change of mind.
What sort of service is this?
Whilst of course I should have been more careful I'm now stuck with the wrong book for my daughter.
I offered to post it back, unused only opened and then realised it was wrong one and then use the credit for the correct book. To be told only if your instructor has made an error and you can prove it do they consider a store credit.
In the world of amazon prime etc this is not really up to the mark.
A little flexibility would go along way......

I look forward to dealing with Zookal again

published

Marelen who processed my refund was excellent - very nice on the phone and was seamless. I thought I was going to be for a fight (before my call) to get a refund but Marelen was very professional and was a pleasure to deal with. Her manner gives me confidence that Zookal is a business with integrity and professionalism - I look forward to dealing with Zookal again.

Avoid Zookal

published

Bought a textbook online, said it would be dispatched within 4-6 business days. Heard nothing, so on the 8th day spoke to [Name Removed] from Zookal and asked for an update and they said the book would now be more like 21-28 days until dispatch!? So I said why say 4-6 days? Why didn't they let me know? I asked for a cancellation and refund 48 hours ago. I was promised this would be processed within 24 hours maximum. NOTHING RECEIVED. I have no time for this type of service. They are either too busy or just don't care less! Sorry Zookal, but this is just so poor. Will be raising this with PayPal to get my money back.
