“Most Excellent Customer Service”

★★★★★

written by Ferretusmaximus on 11/12/2013

I have ordered many books from Awesome over the years and have been thoroughly impressed by their customer service. They value their customers in their communications, deliveries and after sales service. In particular, they don't quibble about refunds. I have recently made a purchase through eBay and the Post Office managed to lose the item but I have received an instant refund after raising the issue with Awesome. This really counts and puts them up there with Amazon in terms of going the extra yard. They will more than recover their outlay as I will keep going back to them for more purchases. Exceptional stuff.

Bought 4 books, cheap, good quality. The first books were delivered after 3 days, the other within 2 weeks. Customer service quick and adequate. Thank you!

“Super!”

★★★★★

written by tarasamsara on 09/11/2013

I had ordered 4 books and received only 2, so I mailed customer service. Their reply was almost immediate, they were extremely friendly and to the point. They kindly asked me to wait for another few days and if the books hadn't arrived by then, to let them know, they would make sure my problem was solved. A few days later the 2 books arrived and I mailed them to let them know. I received a very kind response wishing me lots of fun with the new books, they even wrote they hoped the books were in good shape. Coincidentally I had a problem with a delivery from sportsdirect.com at the same time and I had also contacted customer service. When I compare their unkind response with the one from awesomebooks.com I can only say: a very much deserved 5 stars for Awesomebooks! When a product only costs a few euros, it's not evident at all that a company invests in a friendly and efficient customer service, there are enough examples of the contrary. Your service is efficient, kind, to the point ... I couldn't wish for more!

“convenient, affordable, quality, and good customer service”

★★★★★

written by on 04/11/2013

i recently moved to europe and had AwesomeBooks recommended to me because of the free shipping on more than two books (you need more than two books if ordering outside the UK i think). i found the selection of books suited my needs, and almost all of the books i have ordered have exactly matched, or were better in condition than described. the shipping speed is adequate. and even when i accidently ordered the incorrect book, i was able to contact them and have it canceled before it was shipped to me, and i was quickly and fully refunded for that item. i have been quite pleased to have found this company.

“Excellent service”

★★★★★

written by on 29/10/2013

I would highly recommend this seller, Awesome Books. I ordered an item through eBay. It was very reasonably priced and well described as being in a "good" condition ( it was clearly marked as 'used' ) Although it took a while to arrive, I sent a message enquiring to see if there was a problem and my message was answered politely and carefully. It turns out the fault lay with the Postal Service and had that not happened, my item would have arrived within the given estimated delivery date on the order form. The item was well packaged and the receipt enclosed. The book was in excellent condition and easily readable. Not even a crack in the book spine. I felt that Awesome Books gave excellent service despite there being a problem that was nothing to do with them, yet they remained polite and helpful throughout our correspondence. I highly recommend this retailer without reservation. The item was exactly what I expected in fact it arrived in better condition than I had hoped.

“Fast shipping, awesome customer service!”

★★★★★

written by Pfinch on 29/10/2013

I have ordered three books from this seller and they are so very courteous with every order! Shipping is fast and reliable. I am in the USA and they ship to people in the Philippines for me which is a great weight off my shoulders. Prices are very, very fair and shipping is cheap.

“Fantastic customer service”

★★★★★

written by on 24/10/2013

I've used AwesomeBooks on a number of occasions and have received prompt service with the books being received in the condition as was described in the original 'selling' text. The books have always been well packaged and as per my order. However, most impressively was that 1 order went missing but without any fuss or quibble, AwesomeBooks replaced my order and kept in contact with me until I was totally satisfied - brilliant. Nice to know that even if things do go wrong they immediately put them right!! I would most definitely recommend this service and have done to many friends

“I was expecting the book in slightly better...”

★★★★☆

written by on 22/10/2013

I was expecting the book in slightly better conditions, but it's worth its price. Had a problem with the delivery (not related to awesome_books at all) and they managed it quite well.

“Awesomebooks - not so awesome...you get what you pay...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by sayingithonestly on 16/10/2013

AWESOMEBOOKS.COM i used to be a very regular customer. in my experiences, books on many occasions were either out of stock (listed incorrectly) or of poor quality (damaged or with significant notation inside despite their 'standards' promising otherwise). rare was it for me to receive an order in a condition as described - i was constantly chasing up items (lost, not received, of poor quality etc). suffice to say, on my final dealings, even after providing clear photographic evidence that an item was NOT as described (far from it), customer service staff attempted to suggest otherwise & weasel out of the obligation to provide a 'full refund' under the conditions of THEIR so-called 'product guarantee'. to add further insult to injury, they added a condition that my $4 'full refund' would only come after returning the item (initially at my own cost - much more than the book is worth, to be 'refunded' weeks later when received). i think they know most would not go to that extent for $4. this experience was the final straw...cheap prices don't always equal quality. sometimes you really do get what you pay for... to sum up, the quality standards listed on their site mean nothing, their 'product guarantee' is not adhered to, excuses are given & 'rules' made as they go. you may ask: if they're that bad, what did you keep buying from them? answer: faith that maybe i had an odd 'bad' order/experience & the prices were cheap... all that said, i'm happy to say that many other sellers will be reaping the benefit of my regular patronage. buyer beware...there's many other sellers out there that do it better (maybe a slightly higher price at times but MUCH better quality/service)...

It showed this companies warehouse on a TV program. I was horrified how the treated the books like garbage, throwing them around. I would not buy from anyone who treats books this way.

“Truly AWESOME bookstore!!!!”

★★★★★

written by Matt92 on 15/10/2013

I have ordered many books from this store and I'll continue to do so. Awesome books is not just the name of the store but also the essence of the services provided by the store. It sells truly awesome books in prices which are a real steal.It has a great quality control and even the oldest book sold is in excellent condition. I am very delighted with all my purchases and only once in a couple decades of orders I was dissatisfied with the book I received and they rectified the issue in a few minutes in the most satisfactory way. And the best part is that I don't live in UK but in Greece and the service had always been awesome and speedy. Try it and it will surely be your favorite bookshop.They are always glad to help before and after sale and having bought books from many internet and physical stores I must say that their customer support is the friendliest,most accurate,most willing to help and most informative of all. What is more it is a true bookaholic's heaven having thousands and thousands of excellent price at the lowest available price.Thank you very much:)

“No packaging whatsoever ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Rippe on 22/09/2013

I ordered a modern first edition from Canada and this bookseller sent it in a thin envelope without any package protection, bubble wrap or newsprint to protect the book from rolling around in the bag. It arrived completely worn down at the edges and the cover was torn in several places.

“First Class Books with Exceptional Customer Service ”

★★★★★

written by bluemurderjazz on 29/08/2013

Over my time on eBay I've purchased a number of books in a number of different genres from awesomebooks.co.uk and I always return for two reasons; Firstly : The prices, conditions and delivery times are always excellent. Secondly (and most importantly): The customer service I always receive is impeccable. Customer service has many different faces and facets, and many organizations tend to do very well in one or two key areas yet, unfortunately, neglect other critical areas that are equally as important to the customer. Each new experience with awesomebooks.co.uk leaves me happy to return again and again, to the extent that I would prioritize their services irrespective of cost. Fortunately however, there's never any need because the pricing structure is more than fair and always competitive in my opinion. As someone who makes a great many online purchases I'm accustomed to service levels both in the UK and farther afield, and it speaks volumes that of the many online retailers that I remember for their levels of service, awesomebooks.co.uk ranks highly amongst them. I would therefore recommend them to anyone interested in books and literature alike, in any genre.

“Vagabonds Josephine Cox ”

★★★★★

written by on 12/08/2013

I ordered this book as a follow up book to the Outcast OMG could not put either book down absolutely fantastic took book 2 Vagabonds on holiday and got a great tan as I could not get off the sum lounger,take a tissue or two you will need them. I love the way the story in the first book leaves you thirsty for the 2nd book then the second book gets you from the very 1st page until the last And my goodness how I would love to see this book made into a play. I liked every bit of the books so many characters in the story good and really evil bad people ,so so sad and happy people.young and old people you wanted to reach and help then those people you just wanted to squash. that's why you just cannot put it down. I would like to have another follow up book, but hey!!! I know there has to be and ending at some point and was very apt ending that did please me. Ordering books from Awesomebooks has open my reading interest again,after years of reading emails and reports and never making time, all that has changed now I can tell you thank-you As a northern lass born in the 1940's I love to read about the old days as I worked hard from the age of 14 in cotton mills up at 4:30am work till 5pm all for 4 shillings a week and the only union was us standing in the corner with our brooms saying we need a break or we'll not go on the machines to take the cotton off.result-- the sack and go onto the next mill or factory , ahww those days are gone now eh!!! Thank-you Awesome books I will be back for sure

“I recommend Awesome Books to everyone”

★★★★★

written by Elainey1 on 09/08/2013

Awesome books has most of the things I need, so I always look here first. It is one of the best options for avoiding Amazon! Delivery is good, the website setup is smooth and intuitive - maybe it could be easier to filter, as there are some fairly random titles that pop up!

“I never knew that about yorkshire”

★★★★★

written by on 08/08/2013

As a Yorkshireman, born and bred in Hull I thought I knew a great deal about my local area - how wrong I was! This little gem of a book opened my eyes to the real history around me and added a wealth of information to broaden my mind about Yorkshire. I guess each book in the series would do the same for you wherever you live in the UK. Some photographs would have been great but the superb sketches did exceptionally well.

Jean-Paul's Comment

Written on: 02/08/2013

I am not that thrilled. I ordered 6 books written by the same author and got two books instead. One was by the ordered author, the other one was poems. 5 books are missing. The books were sent in a thin, black plastic bag. As thin as those you get in a drugstore...
I wonder if that happens often?

I ordered 3 books to be shipped to the USA. They arrived within 10 days! Each of the books--all are 20-30 years old-- are in nice, readable condition as described. They have the titles I'm looking for (some of which are out of print), bargain prices, and no charge for postage to the USA.
