Wob Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers expressing satisfaction with their product selection and the occasional positive experience with customer service. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding service delays, poor product quality, and a lack of effective communication. Many customers reported issues with receiving incorrect items, slow refunds, and unresponsive support channels, which have led to frustration and distrust. Overall, while there are positive experiences, the prevailing sentiment suggests a need for improved reliability and customer service practices to enhance customer satisfaction.

Easy to use site
July 4, 2023

Easy to use site. We are avid readers so value businesses that offer purchase of secondhand books at a reasonable price and in good condition. We have used this business several times and received the books within a short time.

This is one of the best sites I use online, they genuinely care about their customers, all their descriptions, of what they sell, are spot on, the selections are very good and delivery is, in my experience, fast and free, if you try WOB, then I'm pretty sure you will not be disappointed, ii have made several different purchases, And will continue to do so, for the foreseeable future, take a bow WOB, you have earned it... Superb!

Great value
July 4, 2023

I found the title of the book I wanted easy to find & then had the choice of different conditions of that book in the price bracket I'm happy to pay for it. Delivery was made as promised & tightly packaged so it arrived safely. I've bought a few books from WoB and always very pleased with the service.

I'm generally very pleased with my orders. Delivery is always quick and dvd quality is as described. However, on this occasion and recently, another, I've been left slightly disappointed. With regards Green Wing boxset, dvd condition wise, I would say good, not very good.( I used to sell dvds and books online for a local charity for several years)

We bought this CD from world of books at a price much kinder on my wallet rather than buy new from a major online retailer. No skipping, scratches or issues playing on our laptops.
The CDs arrived within the specified timeframe as advertised online and were well packaged.
World of Books will be my first look online whenever we want books, CDs or anything else that they may have in store.
Thank you for the great service.

I ordered 2 books labelled very good condition - they were like new.
Given that I ordered over a weekend they arrived almost next day.
This was helped because they were sent via the post (rural house that alternative deliverers usually have trouble finding)
Bravo WoB; speedy, as described - very efficient :)

I love that you can find the books you want, some new, as good as new, or a bit worn, accurately described and quickly delivered. Really great service I will use again. So great that they aren't pulped or sent to land fill. Can I also sell you some?

Ordered a GCSE modern world history textbook through wob.com. The problem started when there was no option for tracked shipping for my order as it was international. The timeframe was given as 21 days in which it has now been a month and it still has not arrived. Now realize that my order failed the quality control test and was never shipped. I did not receive any other updates on my email about my order than it was on its way. Had a chat to the agent on Facebook messenger in which they sent me a NZ post tracking number which after 1 week still did not work or update. Shocking experience feels like I have been scammed. Customer support says I should receive my refund in 48 hours lets hope that works. Terrible! They should at least provide mandatory tracked shipping for international orders.
