Greatbookprices Recensioni 

Sent me the wrong book. Over a month of trying to contact them and have only received nonsensical automated responses. Horrendous customer service.

The book prices might be great but that’s irrelevant if you never get the books you order. Do not do business with GreatBookPrices

I ordered two course books which were due to be delivered by 24 September, - but I still haven’t received them (it’s now October 10th) therefore asked for a refund, but they said as they had given me a tracking number, they won’t do this. When searching via the tracking number I always get the same reply ‘no information available’. The cost was over £36, so not insignificant; and the course I am on started two weeks ago, so I shall have to buy again from elsewhere. I just wish I’d seen the other reviews before: Abe Books rates them with 5* which is a complete fallacy. I won’t use Abe Books ever again.

Terrible customer service. Returned a book weeks ago and no acknowledgement that they received it for a refund. Don't bother ordering from here, it's cheap but you pay the price in other ways.

Awful awful company.
Stay away.
So far, made the mistake of ordering from them. Tbf with so many bad reviews you'd think Abebooks who are normally quite good, would cut ties an refuse to work with them.
I sent a message thinking over two weeks delivery is a long time from Castle Donnington surely it doesn't take that long.
So they said will send using Hermes or Whistl, argh so I put in the number and lo an behold it doesn't come up on either because of course it doesn't.

Next day I get a scam text, I go a little further claims to be Evri demanding my address because theyve lost the number. Yeah right, so I went to official Evri not the same so Im like, nope, definitely a scam. I put their number up on Who called me for others.

I being very suspicious wrote back to Abebooks who passed it on to GPBuk because I wanted a refund.
Only can't get one if its before the delivery time which is OBVIOUSLY to get you to forget or some such.
Anyway that was until I got a grey card demanding £18.73 off me. I have recently discovered that thanks to someone else here, you know who you are, who did the digging to find out they source outside of the Uk. Oh great thanks, at least I can expect a charge on something outside of my country so what is this? Would of been nice to know this upfront so I could be prepared. Seriously I dont know what they are up to but it doesn't seem legit to me.
For all I know Im going out to pay for a box of rocks. Im not paying nearly twenty for that. Just stay away. They, by the looks of it, only send out the same tired message to everyone and refuse to do business fairly.
Oh and yeah obviously the grey card is royal mail hence the charge so why lie re Evri an Whistl?
Again. Youve been warned.

Just received a wrong item & raised a query. Generic response received immediately stating “our records show item has been delivered” ie they completely disregarded the issue.
Don’t use. Black listing now with cc provider.

Never EVER buy from this company. Unless you like to give your money away to these soulless losers

Can go die in hell

I ordered a 'print-on-demand' book from these people through Abebooks.. Though it was satisfactorily bound and clean it was unreadable, with not one page properly formatted - as if a digital text download had been simply vomited onto the page.
I have complained to both Abebooks and GBP requesting a refund of cost and postage.
The replies I have had have been totally unhelpful.
I would not recommend anyone to go near GBP.

Absolutely disgusting, box set of books doesn't turn up, months of emails sent with same stupid automated response of will be there soon, or give order details which was parroted at least 9 times. A disgrace.

I paid them for a book that never arrived. THey reply to every email either by claiming that it will be "with you soon" or by asking me to give them details of the order (which I have now done at least 6 times). I think they are basically crooks - do not give them your custom.

I ordered a book from this Greatbookprices at AbeBooks. After waiting for 6 days, I did not receive any shipping info, so I checked my AbeBooks account and it showed that the book was shipped. Then I contacted the seller and asked if they could provide the shipping tracking info. I was told then "Our records show that your order is processing and will ship out shortly." After waiting for another 4 days (so it was 10 days after I made the purchase), I still did not receive any update, so I contacted Greatbookprices again. Guess what I received? "Unfortunately, due to an error in our inventory process, the book you were inquiring about was out of stock. We were unable to locate more inventory within our promised receipt date so we felt it best to cancel your order and refund your money. " Such a bummer!!! I dont know what would happen if I never contacted the seller, probably I would never receive any update.

Do not order with this company!! It is absolutely horrid. I ordered my book through them almost two months ago, paid 30 pounds, only to never receive it. They work with the worst shipping companies, and contrary to the claims of the shipping company Whistl, my book was never delivered. I have contacted this book seller and it has refused to respond to my inquiries.

I ordered a book on a 15th-century artist and instead received a book on art in the 1930s. I requested a refund and returned the book as per ABE’s instructions. Now Greatbookprices claims they have not received the book and will not issue a refund. The week before I ordered another book from them and after a long delay (and my angry emails), was told they did not have the book. Two copies from greatbookprices are still advertised on ABE’s website. Was this retaliation for my justified anger at their incompetence?

I ordered an expensive book (£50.00) it was sent in a plastic bag thinner than paper. No surprise to find it damaged. Numerous emails sent no one bothers to read the email and when you get a reply I can only assume it's a bot.
ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!!

Ordered 2 books only 1 arrived. Sent 4 messages but no one bothered to respond to thee issue except for Donae who says we will look at this but no one does. This company appears to be a rip off merchant do not use and Donae lies.

Follow up: wrote to GreatBookPricesUk again, and got another standard email showing they hadn't even read my message. However, then complained to Abebooks who were very efficient; they contacted the seller and when they too received no reply they refunded my money and have set their Customer Trust Team on to GBPUK. Bottom line: don't use this seller, but if you have done contact Abebooks direct to ge a refund and give them further ammunition for their investigation.

Ordered through Abe books. Got the wrong book. Returned it recorded delivery and still not received a refund or the correct book. Wish I had read the reviews first. Hey ho... putting it down to experience. Will try getting back from my credit card if no joy in the next few days/weeks plus try to flag to Abe Books. Either a scam or really badly run not sure which... yet.
Abe books provides a supposed UK address and person but how real they are I have yet to investigate. So I will try writing direct to the Far Corner rep if not resolved via Abe Books.

Do not buy from this company. I ordered a book in January that didn't arrive; since 30 January I have been trying to get them to send another copy or refund me the cost of the book and its postage. They have delayed and deferred dealing with the issue and I am still chasing them. I will never buy from them again.

This company advertised the ability to ship 2 books, before a certain date, which I needed for class. When I had yet to receive notice of shipment with 7 days to go on the date they claimed, I reached out. They did not respond.
Then, I got a shipment notice AFTER the date they were to be delivered!
I contacted them immediately and said I no longer needed them since they did not deliver them by the promised date.
After 7 emails back & forth, they finally said to just "cross out your name & address, right return to sender, and mail them back".
I did so. Weeks go by, no response or refund.
I contact them, they claim they didn't get the return and what was the tracking #. Tracking #?!?! I sent them back AS REQUESTED!
They then said wait.
I waited.
2 more weeks go by, I check in, and get a canned response about not receiving my order? I tell them to read our entire email thread. They claim they don't have access to it.
I reply with ALL the prior emails. The final response?
We don't accept returns after 30 days.

AVOID THIS COMPANY!
