This was the first time I used BEBC and…
This was the first time I used BEBC and everything went just fine - the people were helpful on the phone, a nice discount was offered on the books (Cambridge Complete Advanced) and, although they had to order them, the books arrived around the date promised by BEBC. So, I'm totally satisfied and would use BEBC again.

They sent me the wrong online book…
They sent me the wrong code. My purchase was for an online book "with answers", but the online book indicates "without answers". It does not have the answers within the same virtual book. I did not request answers apart from or outside of the virtual book.
On the website, I purchased the book B1 Preliminary for Schools Trainer 1 *DIGITAL* Student's eBook "with Answers" **ONLINE ACCESS CODE ONLY** with the ISBN code: 9781009232098.
Category: eBooks - Exams - Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET)
Status: E BOOK
Please, I request to send the correct code of the online book "with answers" in the same online book and not outside of it.
The Ebook must be: B1 Preliminary for Schools Trainer, Six practice tests "with Answers", Second edition 1.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi Kasahu,
This code was sent to you on the same day you ordered the eBook code.
Our customer service team have also sent you information in regards to the answers on the eBook and we have contacted Cambridge on numerous occasions and they have sent us all of the information you need and we have sent this information on to you. Please let us know how else we can help.
Many thanks

Enquiry about books on a specific subject…
Good initial response and sent very comprehensive info to my enquiry about certain books.
Then when I responded there was a week's delay in
replying leading to my writing again to see if my mail had been received. An out of office email would have been good!
Once ordered books arrived quite quickly. Thx
