Don't list book if you don't have it
June 25, 2024

I had been looking for a book and when they said they had it, my friend and I both bought copies (same transaction). However, turns out they didn't have the book, and didn't have the source for it. While I got a refund, I am upset that they would list it like they had it in their warehouse.

Pricing was great!

I found my book for the best price here, it was at least $40 cheaper than other places I order/rent from.

Terrible experience and service.
June 23, 2024

Purchased a book, was never told my order was cancelled. It wasn't until I inquired about my book not being received is when they finally told me my order was cancelled "due to an issue with their supplier". I wasted two weeks when I could've found another option. Will never use this company ever again. Like, ever!

Received book in expected condition
September 10, 2024

Poor tracking. Poor shipping material. Thankful it wasn't damaged. Should have used padded mailer for a $220+ book.

Ordered a book 8/19.
Went back to check on 8/26 because I'd heard nothing about a shipping date.
They showed that my order was cancelled and refunded, but had never bothered to tell me.
I have asked and they still have not explained why the order was cancelled.
In fact, today 9/2 I got an email asking to "confirm receipt of my order" or to "Check the order status If you have questions".
Buncha morons. Good employees should find jobs with some company that will last.

Their 9/2 email to me:

This was a waste of time.
July 10, 2024

My order was cancelled because they "couldn't find a copy for sale". No $#*!! Why do you think I tried to order one from this site? After they notified me they had cancelled my order, I got an email stating that "my book" was still waiting for me and that they were going to offer me a 10% discount on it. On what? Another cancelled order because they never actually had a copy of this item? What a waste of my time this order was!

Scam site, too good to be true
April 18, 2024
Updated review

Never received book or any notice past the initial purchase confirmation, when asked for an update I was informed that I would be getting a refund because the item was not in stock. Keep in mind this is all while the product is still visible on the website for sale. The question you have to ask yourself, is how many active refunds are in motion due to this lack of accountability. Unless you want to waste your time and money, look elsewhere..

One of those "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" sites...
April 13, 2024
Previous review

If you find a book that you can't seem to find at all or can't find affordably anywhere else, it's probably because it really isn't available. This is one of those weird laundering sites that just leaves items up for sale even though they clearly don't have them in stock...or even plan to get them in stock. I was literally speaking to one of their "representatives" as they explained that the item is unavailable...while simultaneously seeing the item still for sale on the site. No follow up email or anything after the initial order confirmation email, even after sending them a request through their contact link for an update...still had to use the lousy chat only to find out it was not available that way. Absolutely avoid this site unless you want your time wasted and your money floating in the ether for a few weeks!

Order Never Received- Service extremely poor
March 8, 2024

This order was cancelled by BiggerBooks with no explanation. I have reached out several times to get an explanation, but they do not bother to reply. Customer communication and satisfaction is very poor.

Apparently none of the items were ever in stock, even though I specifically selected only items listed as "in stock". I found all of this out only after a false "delivery confirmation," i. E. my friend never receiving his holiday gift.
