Great company, great service

This was my first purchase with FatBrain.co.uk and I would definitely use them again :-)
The book was very reasonably priced, and delivered quickly in robust packaging. Excellent service - thank you!

FatBrain is a No-Brainer!

FatBrain give a great service - it's very easy to check how much you will be paid for your books and with prepaid postage it's a fat no-brainer! It takes a few days for your books to be checked and for you to be paid but not too long. I have made several hundred pounds selling with FatBrain and would recommend them!

FatBrain is great and I love using the trade in service. However, my one and only feedback comment would be that the minimum trade price is too high. There have been so many occasions where FatBrain has offered me the best price for my books but I did not have enough to meet the £25 minimum trade price. Similarly there are times when I would only have been able to meet the minimum trade price by going over the maximum amount of books allowed in one trade. Other book/media trading sites do not have these maximum amount of items and also have lower £5 or £10 minimum trade price. Might be worth a review of terms.

Well worth selling with them

A great buy back service offering more than other buy back services. Sending the books was really simple using my local Esso garage and the cheque came 4 days after sending them. There was a slight hiccup with the system with one of the books but still got an amazing offer on it.
