Consistently good service.

Postscript Books provide an excellent service, deliveries are always within their time scales and safely packed. I always look forward to receiving their monthly catalogues which are beautifully produced and a constant temptation to purchase the most wonderful books which I don't need but can't resist!

Very satisfied with the prompt delivery of my books and friendly customer service. The books arrived in excellent condition and were all such bargains. I will be a returning customer. I love browsing through their monthly catalogue and look forward to the next one.

Good vendor

Decent website, the catalogue is very nice, and every time I've ordered from them the books have arrived in good time and been packaged very securely. Nothing to complain about, really, they're pretty neat.

Been having to write a lot of negative reviews of predatory companies recently so wanted to write one for a company that's actually good as a cleanser.

Finding fewer books of interest

I have bought books from PostScript for many years. In recent years, I find fewer titles of interest to me, which is mainly under history, science and nature. In No. 388 of May 2026 there is just one page on Science & Maths but 6 pages on Fiction and two on Food and four on Children's books. 'Back by popular demand' is a mystery, I rarely see a title there that I have seen before.

What you can do is stop using EVRI for your deliveries.
I have had to buy 2 replacement garden gate latches because virtually every time the EVRI driver delivers to our address he must try to kick open the gate because part of the metal latch is constantly being bent and dislodged from wood. We know it happens when it's the Postscript delivery because no other deliveries were made on those days. It does stop me buying more books from your company.You should take note!!!!!
