Needed a book for uni quick

I needed a copy of a set text for a seminar on the Friday and the uni bookshop wanted silly money for it. Found one here and it turned up Thursday, so just in time. Book was a bit more worn at the corners than I'd hoped but it reads fine. Checkout was quick too. Would probably use them again.

Checked the reviews first

I read a few reviews before buying a cookbook and the price was the deciding factor. It was a good bit cheaper than the other sellers I looked at. Ordering was straightforward, delivery was next day and the book was in perfect nick. For the money it's hard to beat, I'd order from them again.

Ordered a bunch of stuff quick

Got a load of secondhand paperbacks for my commute and the bit that surprised me was the little note inside each one saying what condition it was in, which was spot on. Only thing is one of them took a day longer to turn up than it said on the site but honestly i didn't mind, the books were brilliant and cheap so fair enough.

Good price for second hand

I wanted a second hand copy of a textbook for my course and this was about half what the university bookshop wanted. The listing said good condition and that's exactly what turned up, a few light marks on the spine but nothing that bothers me. Took about four days to arrive. Happy with the saving.

Not as good as the other site

Went with these over the other site I usually use, mostly because they had the book in stock. Checkout was fine but the delivery took longer than the other place and the item arrived with a crease on the cover. Did the job though, I'll probably check the other site first next time.

First order and mostly good

This was my first time ordering from them so I wasn't sure what to expect. The site was clear to use and I liked seeing the delivery date before I paid. The book arrived on the day it was due and was in good shape. My only niggle is that the returns page took a bit of digging to find, but I haven't needed to return anything yet.

A set of crime novels

I bought a boxed set of crime novels for my husband's birthday and they've been a real hit with him. The site was easy enough to navigate, though I did find the prices a touch higher than I'd expected on a couple of the titles compared with elsewhere. Delivery was prompt and the packaging was careful. I'm glad I ordered them.

Cheaper than the big chains

I'd been looking at the high street shop and the supermarket for the same paperback, and this worked out a fair bit less once postage was added. Ordering was simple, I just used the search and the price was clear from the start. Arrived well packed and in good nick. Good value for what you get.

Tried a few places first

I'd had a look at two other online sellers and a local bookshop before settling on this one for a gift. Prices were roughly in line with the others, and the range was better than the local shop. Ordering was painless and the book came quickly. Nothing to complain about, I'd happily come back.

Fine but a bit slow

I'm afraid the delivery was rather slower than I'd been led to expect. The order itself went through without any bother and the book I wanted was in stock. When I rang to ask where it had got to, the person on the phone was polite but it took a few days to get a proper answer. The book was in good condition once it arrived.
