Horrific service, pretty much stole my money
I ordered two "Color Me Calm" colouring books (which are amazing) for my friend and I. Two weeks later I still hadn't received them and had received no e-mail explaining why it was delayed.
I proceeded to log into my account, where my order said "In Progress" and they were expecting another shipment of books to arrive a few days prior to when I actually went online. So they were fully in stock, I hadn't been told they were out of stock, so I was a bit annoyed, and sent them a message asking how long my order would take and that I may need to cancel.
A couple of days went by without a response. I went back online to send a message to cancel my order when I saw my order had been dispatched earlier that day.. Yet I hadn't received an e-mail and they'd not replied to my message. So I sent a second message explaining that I'd come online to cancel my order, I wasn't happy with the lack of communication, and I'd like to return the books when they eventually arrived. It's been 2 weeks now, and I've still had no response (other than to my FIRST message saying "looks like they've been dispatched").
This service is utterly disgraceful. They actually IGNORED my message and FORCED me to pay for something I wanted to return. There wasn't even a tax invoice with my order so I couldn't possibly return it without them responding to my message.
I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN. They're devious, unprofessional, and outright rude.
Well.. the title is pretty self explanatory. I ordered my book on July 30th and I'm still waiting for it. It's been 15 business days AND COUNTING. It's taking way too many days than what they stated on their website. If I knew this was going to happen I would just go with ebay, and it would've been cheaper AND a lot faster.
This site is a quality bookshop, it is Australian and it provides a wide array of books of different types, such as novels, and textbooks. Their prices are extremely competitive, and surfing online for your favourite book is easier then physically searching book shops for your favourite book. Being australian, the site maintains a certain quality for its books, such that they arrive in a perfect condition.Postage takes around 2-3 days, and so, you can have a completely new book at your doorstep with in a matter of clicks. The sites only cons are that it does not have every single book on the planet, but it does however have many books. Also the site can take alot of time to load, and this is despite my fast internet connection.
I bought a couple of books for my cousin for christmas and I was delighted to see there was an option to pick it up from their warehouse instead of having to pay shipping. They have a huge variety of books and it was all very easy to find the books I wanted and buy them.
I bought the book 'why men love bitches' which came so quickly! The order was shipped within 1-2 days and arrived nicely in bubble wrapping. I will definitely buy my books from this website again as the price is reasonable and the orders are from Australia so guaranteed to get it in the same week.
I ordered 2 books from booktopia and they arrived in 5 days with free shipping, the books i ordered were over 80% off , incredibly cheap, $3.50 a book. i would recommend booktopia to anyone who is looking for fast shipping and cheap prices!
I ordered an employment law textbook as well as a couple of other books. Because I linked to Booktopia through Booko, I got free shipping instead of the standard flat rate.
The books were shipped the day after the purchase and I was sent an email with a tracking number, as well as emails from AusPost to keep me updated. The books arrived securely packaged two days after purchase in excellent condition.
