Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I order nearly all my books from Thalia. It's not easy to get all english books in the local stores and I try to avoid Amazon. So Thalia's Online Shop is great!

Everytime I go there the staff is very nice, always helping out if I need information or simply just guidance for finding a specific book. However one time I saw in the App that a specific coloring... See more

I love visiting their bookstores in Vienna - it feels like they have everything you need + lovely atmosphere. Once I had some shipping issues due to a wrong address and it definitely took them a while... See more

The order was ready very fast. I could collect it from the shop which I had chosen at any time of the opening hours of the shop. That's more comfortable for me than waiting at home for delivery.

Unavailable items listed as available

I ordered a book in January and didn't hear back. After asking they said that they will get it soon, but they don't know exactly when. I asked three times, always the same answer.
Now, EIGHT MONTHS later, they tell me the book is unavailable. It was listed as available on their website the whole time, tricking customers into buying it.
Don't expect that anything is actually available from them, even if they say so.
By the way, Amazon delivered the same book within three days to me. So why ever use Thalia again?

Terrible unprofessional service! 5 months no delivery!

Hi!I ordered backpack in August for my daughter to have it in September for Pre school.It was mentioned delivery in 1-2 weeks.The shop cancelled my order.I ordered it again and they said that wrong item was delivered and I need to order it again (it was in Sep). Then without letting me know they cancelled my order again and suggested to place a new order. They never could track try delivery or once it was lost somewhere.Since 28.09 Im waiting for the NEW delivery. Customer service replies only "we don't have delivery date". The backpack is always in the assortment but the shop plays with prices from 59 up to 95 euro. I don't want to cancel my order,I promised it to my daughter! Terrible service! Why I need to come to the shop every time ask the status, Im tired to read "we don't know the date of delivery"-its UNPROFESSIONAL! Its not normal to wait 5 months for delivery!!!

False advertising. Worst customer service.

According to the Thalia website the book I ordered was in stock and would be sent in 2 days. A week and a half later the book still has not been shipped.

This is the second time this has happened. Last year it took them 2 weeks to send my order, which according to their website was in stock. I tried to call them and there has been no customer service available.

Why are they advertising that they provide online services during the corona crisis and not fulfill the advertised promises? They are literally advertising to stay home and read a book and they will deliver this to you quickly. By the time I receive my book, the retail shops will be open again. This is a Bait and Switch marketing tactic. Sad!
