AI Review Summary Based on 140 reviews

Customers report very slow or highly delayed deliveries, with many orders taking significantly longer than the original 4-week estimate. The company went into administration, leading to communication issues, unfulfilled orders, and difficulties obtaining refunds. Despite the delays and problems, a number of customers eventually received their items or were refunded, and some still acknowledge the challenging circumstances. There is frequent mention of poor communication, lack of updates, and frustration with the service during the closure process.

absolutely love love love this company

absolutely love love love this company i m sooo sad to hear it s fallen into administration since the announcement i ve placed 2 orders with them to help them out both arrived quickly and well packed providing hours and hours of reading for my little one Many companies who go into administration happily continue to take money without sending the goods - these guys ahve been very clear and honest and every order placed right now pays the teams wages Just a brilliant company offering outstanding value for money and reward loyalty with extra discounts I hope a buyer is found

Brilliant service

I have been meaning to write this review since Christmas It was my fault to have ordered the wrong year for a set of books Customer services were brilliant Gave me a return label to print books were picked up by Hermes and the correct books arrived in time for Christmas I cannot explain just how wonderful that was Thank you so much I will not use any other company from now on

Brilliant Amazing book selection great prices sometimes a few individual book prices are comparable to supermarket discounted prices So convenient here and beautiful box sets Bought in bulk stocked up for the next year picking selections stepping up the kids age guides free standard delivery arrived in mint condition in 3 boxes all by the same Hermes driver at the same time about 3 days after clicking buy - what s not to like Been gushing about it with similarly impressed parents in the playground Excellent
