“Loyal customer since 2019. Every one of last 10 trades has been lost by Evri which has meant entire process each time has taken 6 wks. Am now using ziffitt”

“Returned three of my books that I requested returned, but those "not in the offer" have disappeared. Although they were in the original offer. Less than impressed this time. I did expect those to be returned as well.”

“I've sent some books to them one of which was an unwonted birthday present ( so the book was new ) and after about a week I got an email saying that due to water Damage they would cut almost £5 from a deal agreed with me. I dropped of the box in a perfect state. There was no damage to it. I think this is their way of scamming people from what they should be paying. Absolutely disgraceful. Massive scam !”

“Terrible seller on Ebay. AVOID ! Terrible seller ! Bought three books from their Ebay store which showed on the listing that if you bought one you would get 20% discount off another two books.... but I didn't get the discount. After contacting them they said they didn't apply discounts. Spoke with Ebay who told me differently and that the seller was in control of discounts and to explain to Webuybooks and ask if they would give the discount. Webuybooks just gave the same short answer that they didn't apply discounts. Pretty disgusted by this seller. I buy a lot of books and wont be buying any from this seller ever again. So my advice is to avoid this seller as you wont get the discounts on your purchases as listed. there are plenty of other reputable sellers to choose from”

“PLEASE DON'T USE THIS COMPANY They lie about the condition of your items, refuse to return your items & don't pay you for anything. Extremely rude customer service. They block you on social media because they don't like your comments about their service. I have contacted trading standards about them. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THEM. THEY ARE SCAMMERS 😡”

“Part of my transaction was a brand new box set of books in new condition which they offered me over £5 for. They then deducted that money stating they were heavily stained which is not true. They offered to send back if I paid or they would dispose of them. You have no recourse really if they decide to make false claims about the condition of the items.”

“We buy books is a wonderful idea. HOWEVER they use EVRI to collect their parcels, who are unbeliveably unrealiable. I have wasted three whole days this week waiting for EVRI to collect my parcels. The first collection was due Monday; they said I was out- but I was in. This collection was postponed to Friday -but now (Friday)the EVRI site says there is no trace of my parcels on their system. They said the same this Wednesday- I had a second set of parcles due for collection; stayed in all day, and they said I was out. I cannot speak to a human on EVRI. Webuybooks phone number is engaged all day so far. I am almost in tears. We are having to clear out books bfore a move, to help our rseriously ill daughter. This extra stress is just too much.”

“We buy books are very good but evri delivery service is completely unreliable and there is no way to contact them to see what is going on. They said no one was in when I was in both days. Very unfortunate. If my parcel is damaged it won't be my fault”

“A 61pence "goodwill gesture" for shambolic services - shame on you WeBuyBooks! Evri failed to collect my WeBuyBooks order # 2273158 on 3 different days. WeBuyBooks contacted Evri via their account manager, but after still sitting on my books 3 weeks later, I delivered them part-way myself, only to be advised by WeBuyBooks that one of my books' ISBN did not match ... but whose fault is that when I used their scanning system, which matched the code to a wrong ISBN? WeBuyBooks then charged me £2 for their own system error, and offered me to destroy the book or return it to me at my own costs. I suggested to customer services that WeBuyBooks cannot be serious ... After waiting 3 more business days I chatted with Gary today and found out that WeBuyBooks added 61 pence "to my trade due to the failed collection as a good will gesture" - Really? WeBuyBooks are having a laugh, right? Never again will I use their dire services - I will stick with trusted old Ziffit instead!”

“No payment received for my books. This is the second time it happens. The first time, I was paid after complaining that I had sent the books, the second time, I am still waiting. Also, when the parcel was ready, the courier (Evri) did not collect. I had to take the parcel to a far away shop. Very inconvenient.”

“Prices are ok, but arranging delivery is to much hassle without a printer. They only use Evri/Hermes for collection. You can't use an InPost locker without a printed label (with Ziffit you can). If you don't have a printer they say you can print one at the nearest Evri Parcelshop. I've tried 3 stores this evening. The Evri device wasn't working in any of them and staff couldn't help. So I changed to collection. If you arrange a collection, you need to have a printed label. The driver won't bring one (unlike all other parcel collection services). My only option was then to cancel the collection, change back to drop off and request a label by post. Webuybooks would probably be good if they used a different courier. As it is, it's too much hassle if you don't have a printer.”
