Amazing Service
I ordered a book on Wednesday, estimated delivery by Saturday, arrived Friday which was a day early. I only paid £3.66 for a Used book and that included postage. I was amazed when I received it because it looked Brand New.
Thanks to everyone for an absolutely amazing service.

Awesome allows me to have an eclectic mix of my favourite books and I’m still discovering new genres to explore
Well done Awesome !

Hi Elaine,
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your recent experience. We truly appreciate your continued support and are disappointed to learn that one of the children’s books arrived in such poor condition—especially as it was intended as a gift.
This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. We’d really like to make this right for you. Please get in touch with us directly so we can arrange a replacement or refund as quickly as possible.
We completely understand your hesitation, but we hope this was an isolated issue and that we can restore your confidence in us. Your satisfaction is very important to us.
