Wrong audiobook, not replies!

Bought an audio book version of Public Enemies which is my favourite book. It clearly states it should be a 6 hours listen but what I got was a 1 hours version! I’ve emailed them to tell them multiple time but there has been no reply. They obviously don’t care. Don’t buy from them.

Warehouse needs better supervision

I don't think we have ever received a correctly packed order. Constantly missing items out of our orders or packed so poorly we are receiving items with damage. They took over for National Book Network and it has been the worst downgrade I have experienced as a business manager. Pretty sad.

Pimsleur language Application

This company owns the Pimsleur language application and this review is directed at this application. The lesson portion of this language application is audio and there isn’t any closed captioning for the hearing impaired which makes it impossible to always understand what is being said. This has been brought up multiple times by their customers and the Pimsleur management team either doesn’t care, hopes this these complaints will just go away or simply just doesn’t care.

My 10 year old was reading the one there spy School books. (Spy School Goes North) It was one of his Christmas gifts he asked for sure to him building the collection. This is supposed to be for kids but this twisted company most likely a WOKE company decided that kids should read about LGBT.
So my son read half way through the book and stopped reading came told us that one of the girls had a CRUSH on one of the other girls. So I thank God for have a integral children because you adults@this company have none. He told us this and want to get rid of the book (Praise God).

The book of JFK JR written by RoseMarie…

The book of JFK JR written by RoseMarie Terenzio and Liz McNeil published by you’re company.
I am her to say all of you should be a shamed of yourselves. All this book is about how to make fun of JFK JR and his down falls. If his mother was a live today she would have made sure it did not get published. This book is all about making money not because the writers liked him or disliked liked him.
Everyone needs to go back to writing table and write something good to read that isn’t trashing good people for the money benefit.
I thought Simon Schuster was a respectable company this book proves they are not. I believe Mrs Kennedy worked at this company at one Time and this definitely is a betrayal of the respect that she deserves.

This company is totally scam

This company is totally scam. They gave me a task of 100 pages of work on Ms Office. I done it very well and before the time period, they gave me 48 hours time to complete it. They used the PNC bank fake screenshot send me that we have transferred your $1500, but the transaction is pending due to you do not have our company I.D card. The charges of I.D card they were ask $100 immediately.
This company is doing scam with the innocent people who really do the online work. Please do not trust on this website or any other link of this company. And all these scams done from the Telegram. Thank you

I made 40 logos for this company

I made 40 logos for this company. They said they would give me 2000 pounds for the work, but when I finished and handed over the work to them, they said I had to pay 48 dollars in order to get my financial dues. Then they said I would transfer this amount to the Vodafone Cash number. When I contacted the number, he said he knew nothing about this. This company is the number of the person who told me I have to pay
