It was easy to put the ISBN number in and see whether your book was acceptable or not. Then posting was so easy with the Post It box. The books are soon delivered and reviewed and then money put into the bank. Great Service. Only downside is you need a few books for it to be worth doing.

Having not used World of Books…
Having not used World of Books previously and having to get rid of a vast amount of books I sent them off, 154 books in the 3 boxes only to find that on payment 60+of the books were marked as not receiving. This was impossible as when I finished boxing up there were no books left, all had been boxed. On closer inspection it seems that all the expensive books which were the last 60 in the list are marked not received, very strange. I had a promotion code for £20 which was added on to my transaction this payment has been reduced to £11. This company has defrauded me out of half of my payment and my books that they valued at very low figure. I have sent 2 emails regarding the matter with no reply. I will not be using this company again and warn other people who are thinking of doings so to avoid it and sell your books elsewhere. I intend to take this matter further as it fraud.

Sell on Vinted!
The books that were rejected all sold via Vinted for $1 each. Understandably I won't be using World of Books again. Most likely could have sold all the books sent to you guys for $1 a piece.

Quality books going for peanuts
Quality books going for next to nothing!
Your outfit is very efficient. Packages are easily sent, and communication is excellent. Thank you.
It is disappointing, however, how treasured and valuable, once very expensive and good quality hardback books, are coming in as nearly worthless. This is dispiriting, although I know you run a business, and a volume is only worth what you can sell it on for. I shall be interested to find my books online soon, and I am sure they will not be priced in mere pence.

Disappointed as they did not pay out for the most valuable book. They said a page was marked but I believed it was good when I sent it.
