Manning Reviews

Can not complete payment

Cannot received from them something as simple as a password reset Try to contact customer support and it is just radio silence

As Juan said in the earlier review

As Juan said in the earlier review the shopping experience for international users is awful Much more expensive than other companies even for the no tracking option I bought a book on August 9th that I was expecting here in Portugal After almost 1 month after I sent an e-mail asking for my book They said that international shipping may take up to 2 months and asked me to await The second came but my book did not Sent another e-mail and I was asked to await one week more just in case if I did not receive they would send another book with tracking I wait one more week and nothing They didn t reach out asking I had to send another e-mail and they send I would receive an e-mail with the tracking code as soon the book leaves their warehouse 4 days have gone by and nothing Sent another e-mail asking if they would send the tracking code and they reply that the book may take 5 DAYS to leave their warehouse I m astonished It s so so bad In the meantime I bought two books from Amazon in one week from the USA and they arrived the next week I know Manning is not Amazon but you can surely send something cheaper and that takes way less time to arrive PS the audacity of asking me to wait one more week after two months was the cherry on top

Charged international shipping Shipped from within UK

I have recently Ordered Grokking Deep Learning print eBook and Grokking Deep Reinforcement Learning print eBook form the UK I was charged a hefty charge of 25 USD for international shipping However my booked was actually shipped from a UK address I sent an email to support at manning com to refund this and charge a normal shipping rate within UK but they never returned to my email Thus I have to leave this experience here

They re crooks

They re crooks They stole my money for a service that was cancelled and they have not replied to my email for over 2 weeks None of the x emails I have written to them from multiple mailboxes They just ignore me

No order tracking shipping

No order tracking shipping information Completely ridiculous that in this day and age a company of their size can t figure out how to include this in the order process There are companies that operate out of a spare bedroom that offer a better customer experience Customer service responded to an email regarding order status with this gem If you don t receive your package within six weeks from your order date please let us know That caveat should be clearly visible when a customer is attempting to order Never purchasing here again

Don t consider buying here if you don t want a constant stream of spam emails

Do not even consider buying a book here Once they get a hold of your email address the spamming never stops Up to three four e-mails a day with spam unsubscibing is pointless Spam spam spam Awful

There was a problem with payment but it

There was a problem with payment but it was solved by support Great books for good price Highly recommend

Some excellent products including early access MEAP

updated review after new version of MEAP book I have limited but good experience with only two books Blazor in action which is absolutely a 5 star product Great explanation on the subject and a very nice project Blazing trails from start to finish Including a lot of useful information for everyone who want to build a real life Blazor app including authentication and authorization JavaScript interop Very nice to buy the printed version and get the pdf version for free My second experience is on NET MAUI in action which is a MEAP product This book has a good introduction on NET MAUI A MEAP product is nice because you get early access on previews of the book The final version includes different projects which cover many topics on NET MAUI The book is accompanied with codelabs and for each chapter starter and finished projects are available The option read in live book is great additional comments are added to the examples You can mark and add your own notes Hopefully both books gets new updated editions for new NET versions Updating the BlazingTrails project to NET 7 is not trivial due to some outdated libraries and you can apply the new C 11 required members Ordering is quick and trustful for the Netherlands Also very handy to get access to the books in your manning account The only thing missing is information how to leave a review of your product I want to give Blazor in action 5 stars but I do not see the option even when you bought the book on the Manning site
