Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with their orders, including incorrect items, missing pages in books, and products arriving damaged due to poor packaging. Delivery services were frequently criticized for being slow, unreliable, and often resulting in items not arriving or being sent to the wrong address. Furthermore, people were dissatisfied with the pricing, noting that some "used" books were more expensive than new ones, and found the company's response time to complaints to be non-existent or automated and unhelpful. Some customers also mentioned concerns about the company's business practices, particularly regarding how they list and ship books.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Delivery was much slower than some other sellers.

June, 2023:

Greatbookprices sells books from
various warehouses across the USA.

Delivery time for Greatbookprices has been much longer than delivery time for other companies.
I had to wait 16 days for my book to arrive.

Greatbookprices shipped my book in a very thin plastic package.

Some other used book sellers ship in cardboard packages. Midtown Scholar Bookstore, and BookEnds Bookstore and Curiosities, are two used book sellers who have used cardboard packaging.

November, 2023:

A "new" condition book I ordered arrived with a filthy dust jacket.

Greatbookprices used OSM Worldwide --
so there was a 13-day wait of course.
