“Interesting books to shop”

Nodir R.
6/6/24

It's rly admirable of them that there is a division by age. Like, for toddlers it's okay to buy some bedtime stories and read them, meanwhile for more "grown-up" kids, you can buy more interesting books which will grab their attention. I personally shopped here some books and delivery was quick enough. My son is 5 years old and I ordered him a book about adventures and he is reading it all the time. I ain't control him, but impressions are quite positive.

“Used sold as new or just very bad condition”

Matthew P.
9/26/23

I ordered 7 children's books. 2 arrived in a condition that was very doubtful for "new" and 2 of the books with audio features simply did not work. So that's 4 out of 7 that were in unacceptable condition. I would never order from this website again and recommend others to steer clear. There's a reason why they are cheap and it's not worth it.

Was able to find titles I had been searching for with no luck. The prices were great as I happened to find them on sale. The shipping was pretty quick. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering more from Kids Books.

Absolutely loved the socks, unfortunately I was ordering them for a child who also loves the book
There's a Monster at the end of this book. Maybe a bit more clarification is necessary. When you are looking for kid's books, why am I finding adult socks? I had no idea that size 5 in kids would bring me adult socks.

I stumbled upon this site while looking for Christmas ideas for the little ones in my family. What a find! The prices are so reasonable and I found something for everyone on my list … went a bit overboard because I was able to get so much within my budget. I ordered it on a Wednesday and it arrived the following Tuesday. This will be my go-to for gifts from now on. Thank you!

I loved the company and the amazing books that they have in their catalog.
The shipping was fast and the communication was on point.
PD: the delivery box says "Warning: amazing books inside"- Loved you even more for that :)
Strongly recommended. Would like to see that catalog grow more and more.
Will come back again!

I ordered a bunch of workbooks for my kids. I was a little skeptical about the quality of the books at first but am very happy that all the books are good quality at half the price I would have paid elsewhere. Definitely going to recommend to my family and friends. The only issue I had was with the shipping. The books took almost 2 weeks to arrive from my order date.

I ordered 250 books to be given away at a tree lighting event. The books are great quality and I know the kids will love them! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the way they were packed. There was no padding in the boxes (not even crumpled paper) so the books were tossed around so much that the boxes were quite damaged. Luckily there was only minor damage to some of the books.

I have ordered twice though this website. It's easy to maneuver through the website. You choose your age group and look though the book. My little one helps pick them out. Then we order and done. Thank you.

Tip for consumers:
It’s a great site to use

I was not told ahead of when the order shipped that one of the items in the order was out of stock. I was therefore not given the chance to replace said item and was 1 book short of the 100 books I ordered for a donation for school credit.

Love the books that I ordered for inner city kids in Akron, Ohio. However, one box came first with only one book. I didn't expect that. When the second box came, it was opened on the side. Luckily, all of the books were there.

Thank you!

Tip for consumers:
You may receive more than one shipment for your order. USPS delivered my box opened.

I was very disappointed with my purchase on December 3,2022 for $68.45 for the board books, books and puzzles.

The board books were very dirty with worn spines and the edging of the pages were with grayish and worn brownish spots. Looking at the book closed, the pages has gaps as one would see from a well worn used books. I have seen public library books looked better.

The regular books have dirty covers, not from sitting on a shelf but more like it has passed through many hands.

All the books has markings on the bottom of the books with dots and dashes from different color markers.

The new boxes of puzzles has damages to the box.

I spent $68.45 for books and puzzles for my grand children. If I gave these to my daughter, she will be insulted thinking I bought used, worn, damaged, and old dirty books for her kids. I'm extremely insulted Kidsbooks.com can advertise these books as new, unused, and unread books and that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between new and used.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid kidsbooks.com. All books are marked with dots and dashes in permanent color markers either at the top or bottom of the book on the edging that cannot be removed. It makes books look like they came from a resale shop such as a used book store or like goodwill or garage sale. I have never seen board books in such bad condition to be described as new, unused, unread books.

Products used:
Decided to return all books. Maybe return 1 puzzle with damage to the box. If the 1st two shipments was this awful, I don’t think the balance of my order will be any better when it arrives. Extremely disappointed doesn’t even to begin to describe how I feel.

I saw a puzzle I wanted on a different web site (I won't name it but it is e-asy to figure it out). Kidsbooks had it new for a better price than the other web site had it used. Ordering was easy, shipping was reasonable, it was delivered quickly, and well packed.

This is the second time I have received books from Kids Books and I couldn't be happier. The book selection was excellent and all the books were in pristine condition. I will definitely buy more.

My merchandise has yet to be delivered. I need to know where it is and when can I expect delivery.
Not real happy right now.
Also the phone number associated with KidsBooks is to a hotel in Buffalo, New York! What's up with that?
So far I'm having a BAD experience!
I don't have proof of delivery, I don't have it.
My order was placed on May 16th. I've not gotten tracking information, as of today.
