Better World Books Review
I ordered a bunch of books that were listed as "very good condition" and when they got here they were old ex library books. Not what a I played for. When I bought 1 book it was packaged in just a plastic mail bag with no packaging, of course it arrived severely damaged. Every book comes with a paper based sticker ON THE SPINE which do not come off easy and leave sticker residue behind. I ended up ripping one of the dust covers of my books, can't imagine how horrible buying paperbacks from them would be. Avoid this website
Tip for consumers:Never ever ever buy paperbacks

QualityI will never use this site again. They are sending me spam 3 times a week. There's no way to unsubscribe. I emailed customer service, and the spam stopped for a while, THEN IT STARTED UP AGAIN. Nightmare.
Tip for consumers:Be Warned!!

QualityWow! I was so impressed; first of all the price that included shipping, then the speed of the arrival has outdone by far anything else I have ordered from other sites and the quality of the material received. This is now my go to book site. Thanks!Yes thank you i received this order. It was exactly as i had viewed online. The order consisted of 4 books and all arrived in good time and in good condition.I was skeptical at first about ordering from betterworldbooks; however the novel I wanted was only available via amazon and they were getting their book from betterworldboks with an additional surcharge so I decided to go directly to the source. $10.53 ($14.85 CDN) later via PayPal my purchase was made. While waiting for delivery, I tried tracking the package through their website with limited success and thought for sure I had been scammed. Thankfully, about 12 business days later (a feat during the COVID19 pandemic) my book arrived in a tightly sealed packaging slip and in good condition.Very responsible and quick delivery. I was so happy to receive my purchase and thrilled at the price!Library books but in near perfect condition.
Orders take around a month and a half to cross the pond, but as long as you're not in a hurry i definitely recommend.
Books shipped from the UK arrive within a couple of weeks. Hooray for that!
Also, I feel like I need to mention the e-mail they send when a book is dispatched. It is simply delightful!
I'm a very happy customer/bookworm who wishes they had warehouses in the EU.
Tip for consumers:They often have discounts available. May be worthwhile waiting.

QualityI've ordered several times from Better World Books. Now, with the pandemic and libraries closed, I am very fortunate to have stacks of books I'm going through. I love the messages of BWB: giving back, being aware of the carbon footprint. Love this company! And offering expedited free shipping at this time is very cool.
Products used:I've very recently bought 16 books of an author I have come to enjoy. Before that, I've ordered several other books. The products are used books and are often in nearly new condition. They have sales regularly, free shipping, and discounts on clearances. Plus they give books to underserved area, which I love. This is a GREAT company. And their follow up on orders is awesome.

QualityPurchased a book during COVID (from BetterWorldBooks UK) and still have not received it at an overseas location 4 months later. No tracking information was provided so there is not evidence the book was sent. Better World Books have washed their hands of the matter and said they don't offer refunds if you contact them after 60 days of not receiving a book. Have just lost $50. Buy at own risk. Don't do it! There are lots of reputable sellers out there and this is not one of them!Betterworldbooks never fails me. I can always kind the books I want! And it feels good to re-use so as to help the environmentLove Better World Books - affordable and great selection, can't believe it took Covid for me to find it!I ordered 4 books and they only sent me 3 and trying to contact them about their mistake was very hard and time consuming, and when I finely did get in contact with them I had to deal with a stupid robot at first. And their way of fixing their mistake was to not charge me for the book they failed to send. I prefer to order from thriftbooks.
Tip for consumers:Pay close attention to the books you order and the books you actually get in the mail, make sure you get all that you order, And if you don't, then have fun contacting them about it.
Products used:Books.BetterWorldBookshad two used copies of a book by an Australian author for which I have been searching for years. My own much loved copy went missing many years ago. I bought both copies. They arrived in good time from the US. I was happy. Thank-you!This is a great way to get used books that are in great condition. I recommend this 100%. I have purchased multiple books and I believe you should tooI get my books very quickly, great service. Books are always in great condition and packed well. I have received my books from BWB for years and have always been supremely satisfied. I would highly recommend them to all book lovers.Great price and timely shipping! Half of the puzzle book was already written in, but I guess it was because it was listed as used. Buying their clearance used books makes a great savings!I first heard about BetterWorldBooks through a server I'm in that listed them as a reliable resource to buy books from. After doing my research, I found that they have sustainable practices in selling books as well as donating proceeds to literacy causes, both of which I wholeheartedly support. I also love that I can get such great deals on almost new books! All that together makes BetterWorldBooks one of my new favorite online book shopping sites.

QualityI found there some books I have been looking for but unable to find, the price was right, the shipping was fast and the books were in good condition when they arrived.I got all books I ordered in a timely manner. The books were as described. I would order books from this seller again1st time ordering and very pleased. Ordered 9 books in the span of 3 days and they all arrived within a wk or so. Pleasant surprise considering the Covid situation that's happening. Great websiteAlways come to this website to look for a book before anywhere else! I have never received a book I wasn't happy with! Always in great condition!Book as described with safe packaging. Very efficient vendor and would purchase from BETTERWORLD BOOKS again without hesitation.DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. It takes forever for them to email back if you have issues with your order (They don't have a live line for customer service). You want to cancel your order? Good luck! By the time they reply stuff will have already shipped. Returning is a hassle and expensive and could cost you a lot of $$$ (You have to pay return shipping). Better off using Amazon and Thriftbooks.
Tip for consumers:Please use Amazon, Barns and Noble, Thriftbooks. Their customer service is better and you don't have to pay to return items. Better World Books has the worst customer service I've delt with.
