It’s nice to have an option to sell directly to a business in bulk, rather than the slower process of C2C. Shipping the books was very easy and they handled the transaction in a timely manner. I wish... See more
The experience was great. I liked turning my used books into cash. I would have given 5 stars if more of my books would have actually been purchased and those that did I'd have gotten more than a quar... See more
It was easy to scan the books and see the prices. After confirming and agreeing to sell, receiving an email with the mailing label was convenient. I opted for a check to be sent to me instead of a dir... See more

A bit disappointed
I sold books several times to World of Books. While I was very happy with the first sales, the last few left me a bit disappointed. Not only the value of the books got really low, the checking process also took much longer

Theft?
I sent 6 books in one box. Securely taped for safety. World of books said they were reviewing them and after one week marked 3 books as "Not Received". This was not possible. They received them all or none at all.

Straightforward process from start to finish
My first experience of WoB Sell Your Books was very positive. The process was simple from start to finish, with the parcel being collected by DPD and the money in my account within the payment deadline. Emails from WoB kept me informed of progress at each stage.
I would definitely use this service again.

Great offer, easy transaction
I am getting ready to move and needed a place to take my nicer books besides the local thrift shop. I scanned a whole shelf of books with two different book selling sites. I received an outstanding offer from World of Books for many of them so it was easy to decide which books to sell and which books to donate locally. Shipping was easy and I was paid very quickly.

DISASTER after DISASTER since the company 'modernised'
NOW after 15 years of working with them on the old model, I am giving up. I have just spent 2 hours putting together, boxing up and preparing to send off a box of about 20 books for c. £6.70. When I hit sell after I had done all this, the value was reduced to £4.41. Since the company has gone to an AI mode - much more difficult to get in touch - it has gone down a precipice and will not survive. I have given a number of 5 star reviews in the past but this is the end. I am not wasting my time recycling to be treated like an idiot. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Also, the website is now over-complex and causes other problems which, frankly I can't be bothered to go into as I have already wasted enough time on this company which has clearly has the modernisers in to wreck it.

It’s great overall
It’s great overall. I wish you had an easier way to edit and update the book list once it’s uploaded to the site. I had to start over from scratch when I needed to change my list
