I received the book promptly but it was damaged on the cover during delivery. I notified Monster Books and they immediately sorted the problem out by sending out another copy. I gave 4 stars because I... See more

Same as other comments, this store seems to be a scam, no clue how they got 99% customer approval on ebay. I placed an order through ebay, they extended the delivery date because they don't have in s... See more

Similar experience to below/others. Book ordered, told out of stock, asked to be on back order - given a choice of refund or waiting, chose the latter. Forgot about it, tbh, then requested refund. Now... See more

Excellent

Excellent. 1st class service throughout, from email confirmation of my order to book arriving on time and securely packaged. Would definitely use Monster Bookshop again.

Slow, very slow.

Got books after long delays and poor communications. It is definely not "fast" shipping as they claim; it is also definitely not a "small business" in the familiar sense but sounds more like a drop-shipping and re-seller type of business. Not returning here. Buy from Amazon or your local physical store.

Item not sent

It was due before Christmas. Was told they could not fulfill the order. But I could get it later. It is now LATER and still no order.

I still haven't received my order placed early December which means two friends still haven't had their Christmas present a month after the big day! No updates unless I email. I was told two weeks it would be a 'week or so'. Still nothing and no further update.

Very quick delivery; books as described!

Books arrived very quick&as described (UK order delivered in UK); but it was difficult before to know at what stage the delivery was...the link was not informing me about. My family told me they got them but I had to ask them making me look as if i was chasing a thank you ^^ They were very very pleased with the books
(the link in the mail was kind of frozen at the first stage with no indication of timetable or delivery schedule so I had to contact MB who then told me,it had been delivered). All sorted. Great Books. Order #6668

I ordered a book for my sister for Christmas and the book never came. I emailed the seller and they advised they would reorder the book and it would take a week or so to arrive and they would up date me. I have nearly waited three weeks and no one has communicated with me. Never ordering from them again.
