“Brilliant customer service”

Written on: 05/04/2013 by jeaneds (2 reviews written)

I regularly order from The Book People because of their excellent prices and free delivery on orders over £25.I never had cause to contact their customer service department until today following the delivery of a book obviously damaged in transit. They apologised, immediately sent out another copy and arranged for collection of the damaged book, all done in a cheerful efficient manner by the gentlemen at the other end of phone. I wish more customer service departments could handle... (read more)

“Sold my name and address to marketing company ”

Written on: 09/01/2013 by jimcarson (3 reviews written)

Friend purchased books to be delivered to my address. I never signed up for an account with them and yet they sold my contact details to a marketing company. I traced it back to them eventually after receiving lots of junk in the post. At first, twice they denied selling my contact details, it was only when I got email proof from the marketing company that they admitted it. No apology whatsoever. Pretty shameless, really.

Ordered The Hairy Dieters book as they (The Book People) had the best price available. Forgot that they use a carrier and accidently selected my home address for delivery. I tracked the order online, saw that it was out for delivery and then showed delivered. No card, no tracking, nothing. Called customer services, spoke with a lovely lass who was very helpful. Raised a replacement order and mentioned that a different carrier would deliver it. This time my neighbour received it and gave it... (read more)

“Good Bargains and Excellent Customer Service. ”

I have ordered several times from The Book People and had some real bargains - especially when they have a sale on. Prices are competitive compared to other retailers and delivery is usually pretty quick. I have had the odd occasion (with a large order) when a book was missing or the wrong book was sent. I also received a damaged book on one occasion. However the customer service is excellent. They are easy to contact - especially via the online chat service which is great. They sent out...

“Good company, bad delivery.”

Written on: 15/04/2012

The Good: . Brand new, heavily reduced books cheaper than Amazon in some cases. . The purchase of books gives you book points which you can use to reduce the price of further purchases . The customer service was excellent, the 'online representatives' being very eager to help - the chat function (like windows messenger) being quick and saved a tiresome and expensive phone call. . Search online and you can find a monthly free delivery code to enter at the checkout. The Bad: . The stock... (read more)

I've used The Book People a number of times - they have some really good deals but their choice of courier lets them down...

I ordered The Hunger Games set for £4.99 including delivery (free via a coupon). After it was dispatched, I was sent a tracking number for use with the courier ; HDNL. Anyone who has used this courier before will know that they are lying, lazy, scumbags who will do anything to avoid doing their job of delivering packages. Had The Book People used a reputable firm, they would be getting Four or Five stars from me. Their website itself is great, their stock is great, their deals are great.... (read more)

“Cheap, but slow delivery.”

Written on: 19/03/2012 by Underdog (3 reviews written)

Still waiting for my order. For several days, tracking my order through their web-site, it simply said 'order received'. There doesn't seem to be any impetus to actually pick the stock or deliver it. After chasing them up, I was assured my order would be here today - their web-site actually did eventually reflect that my order had been shipped. Unfortunately, as part of their process to keep costs down they use the Home Delivery Network; in my experience they are one of the least reliable... (read more)

“Great Prices, Quick Delivery”

Written on: 15/03/2012 by trudymids (5 reviews written)

I always look here for my books first as pricing is always low. The only problem is that the selection is not as big as other sellers and some books are withdrawn early. For example I was eyeing up a book for Xmas, months beforehand. But when it came to buying in December, it was not stocked anymore. I ended up buying on Amazon as they always have the titles available. Having said that they are well pricednd offer good value efficient delivery. Would recommend a look. (read more)

“Missing Illustrations”

Written on: 31/01/2012 by Euphemia (1 review written)

I bought a number of historical biographies, mainly by Antonia Fraser, and have found them extremely well-written and clearly explained. The only huge disappointment is that there are illustrations missing and perhaps colour plates, some of which are referred to by the author. For example, the drawing of the old Houses of Parliament is not shown - this would have made the story much clearer. Mary, Queen of Scots appears to have similar deletions, no doubt on the grounds of cost. I find this... (read more)

Hi there, if you'd like to get in contact with us at hello@thebookpeople.co.uk, we'd really like to investigate this further and make amends. I've spoken to our customer services team and they're not aware of this issue so I'd really like to look into it further and find out why this happened. This is certainly not normal practice and has genuinely not occurred before.

Please accept my sincere apologies and I do hope you get in touch.

Written on: 27/04/2011

This reflects my own experience very well. The first three orders I placed went smoothly. The fourth had to be cancelled, because it "got stuck" in the Book People's delivery system. A replacement order arrived the very next day (despite customer services insisting that the previous order wouldn't move until at least the next day). Our son desperately wanted a set of books, and granny gave him some money, so we allowed him to order them from The Book People, as they had the best value deal. Order placed 20/April 2011, with "delivery guaranteed within 48 hours". 27/April 2011, and still no books. Customer services have no idea where the order is, and don't seem too concerned (except for a mumbled comment from them about the order being cancelled. When I challenged that, "No, sorry, my mistake, this order hasn't been cancelled". The carrier has it sitting in their warehouse since 23 April, and no idea why it hasn't been despatched.. "Should have been sent out on Saturday". In short, the service is great when it works, appalling when it doesn't.
