Reading the reviews on Trustpilot, Yelp, and on Google reviews, it seems that there is a consistent problem of how they advertise used books. I'm one of those people who are affected by this and I'd love to share my experience on it. "Book Description: The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Book Condition: Very Good" That was what was described. I've uploaded pictures on Google and Yelp reviews if anyone is interested to see the condition of this book. You can search this business on Yelp and from there you'll have the info to look it up on Google reviews as I won't type out the address of the warehouse out. I have never made a review on here before but this was just ridiculous so I'd have to share. I would not consider this to be in excellent condition due to all the overall condition of it. There is writing in the book, there are a bunch of underlining both in pen and pencil, and even doodles. I bought this online off AbeBooks so I'd have to spend money to ship it back due it not being what was described. I find it absurd how I have to waste my time and money to send it back when it was not as advertised. So I'm hoping to receive a full refund and be reimbursed for the return costs, until then this review is staying up and should serve as a warning to others to see what they are getting into

Ordered a book ‘Sew’ by Cath Kidson via EBay. The book should have come with a pattern and material. It came with neither. The book was also in very poor condition. I could not trace my Order No either through the company or eBay so cannot return. Very dissatisfied.

I ordered A little life by Hanya yanagiha in very good condition.when the book finally arrived I was so disgusted by the condition of the book 🤢 it was so gross looking I actually thought about just trashing it.. I instead took some disinfecting wipes and starting trying to clean the book trying to save it, but I will most likely donate the book and buy a brand new copy else where . This was my first and last time buying a book from here.. Disgusting!

RODENT damaged book sold as VERY GOOD CONDITION!!! I am a book dealer with over 30 years experience so I am very aware of book condition ratings. I ordered a book that was described as "VERY GOOD CONDITION" and was APPALLED when I was sent a book with RODENT damage on the bottom left of the front cover that went through at least the first ten pages. What kind of a business sends out books with clear and obvious RODENT damage? Absolutely DISGUSTING!!! Since when does a book with RODENT damage constitute VERY GOOD CONDITION? Any reputable dealer will state the damage and offer it as POOR condition. So what happened when I complained and sent an image of the damage - someone with the name Analise offered a replacement - well that says it all!

I thought I was ordering Starz/Violation on cd. That’s what the invoice said when my package arrived. What was inside was a cd by someone I’ve never heard of. Very disappointed.

I have order 2 books now from WOB on different occasions. The first was described as hard copy in good condition. When it came it was paperback not in good condition. The second book I ordered which I knew was a paperback described as good condition had 4 pages detached from the back of the book. I won’t be ordering again.

Placed an order recently for 4 seasons of Dallas on dvd paid by PayPal have had no acknowledgment of the order nothing . Yet paypal shows payment has gone through my bank account . I do however have a WOB order number . I have sent an email . But have yet as heard nothing . In this day and age of technology normally you get an email confirming the order . I will continue to see if anything happens if not I will ask for a refund . I did look on WOB website and the dvd’s are showing as available to order when there were only one in stock which I ordered ???? Very confusing !!! Not a very good service .

Everything from placing the order, delivery and the item itself has been such an amazing process. Delivery took 2 working days (including Saturday) which was so extremely fast! The item, although described as very good, looks like it is brand new! Wob, I will definitely be using you again!

I am writing this in desperation, I have used WOB many times and have been very happy. This morning I received the first book of my order and had to give the postman 10 euros. It had never happened before and I usually order English books. I try to contact them to clarify what has happened and it is impossible. I will never order again unless I get an answer.

Love this site. I can find the old books I'm looking for without the hassle of scouting at thrift stores and they come in exactly the shape they're described in! Thank you!

I recently ordered a hardback book as a gift for a friend as buying it new was so expensive. The book arrived promptly and I just received a delighted thank you from my friend saying it was like new condition. Thank you WOB! I have been a customer for years and am never disappointed.

Order placed (for a friend) on eBay Delivery day/date (Thursday to Friday) comes and goes, and ZIPPO, not even MARKED as "Dispatched" so I email them VIA eBay, and am told "Sorry, OOS" I had to wait to be told you don't have the book? I had to ASK you where it was?, and YOU DIDN'T SIMPLY REFUND ME? STILL haven't refunded me? Well, I've taken care of feedback on eBay, and (No trust in) TRUSTPILOT...and supplied emails (on Trustpilot) to demonstrate the sheer incompetence of its (WOB's) CS, and PayPal are working on the refund BUT I was as good as ordered to edit my Trustpilot review today, by removing the FIRST NAMES at the end of the emails sent me, as it's "against Trustpilot policy" beCAUSE? it MIGHT ID the CS agents, them being DANIEL, NATALIE & BARNY OOPS, I DID IT again. *Refund currently working its way through the PayPal system"

Complete joke of a company as previous reviews. I purchased two books from them, they cancelled both purchases even though I had paid There reply was they did not have either of the books.

Problem with initial order of 4 second hand books, however customer services dealt with this effectively, both in responding to my e mail and in replacing book order
