Thank you for your review Jerlie. It is our pleasure to keep our customers happy and we assure you that you will always be happy with your orders whenever you place them. :)
Everything works well with this…
Everything works well with this business except their delivery services can be a bit irresponsible. One time they literally lost my package mid transporting. I was very upset. However it was only once. And their staff are very friendly and helpful. I keep placing orders every 2 months or so. It's great. Thank you so much for all you've given me!

Thank you Duha for your review. I still think about your unfortunate experience with us but sadly we only have one copy of the books you ordered but they keep coming back.
Unfortunately, we don't have control on the delivery service as we work with a 3rd party but after your order we stopped working with them and the deliveries now are being highly reliable. :)
Looking forward to pack your next order soon

They also have many notable titles at the lowest rates. And the service is just brilliant. My delivery was swift, packaging excellent & the books were still in great condition when they reached me.

Thank you Issa for your review. We are happy to have you as a seller and a buyer and remember that you can resell the books you bought.
SUPER SERVICE
our order for a book was speedily processed and delivered home in less than 48 hours.
the follow-ups by Bookends were excellent and we would certainly look at ordering more items from them on a regular basis ahead
Keep up the good work!

Thank you Mallika for your review. We are very happy to keep our loyal customers satisfied and we look forward to serving you again soon.
I found the idea of a used books…
I found the idea of a used books website very positive. Getting books for a very reduced rate in good state is great.
I only have few issues-
for books with multiple stories description is given only for one. Even all the authors are often not listed.
books that are part of a set or series should be listed together or maybe link with information about the set or series can be given in the description.
Have you thought of arranging book library bus so that on fixed days readers can come to fixed locations where bus can stand and books be rented out.

Thank you Vaheesta for your review. We are trying to be as accurate as possible with our data entries which is time consuming but we will try to pay attention in the coming entries. with regeards to authors, only time that are missing is if they are not written on the books. Books in sets most likely they don't come in a set but individually received from many sellers and at different times as well.
Mobile library/bookstore was our first idea but unfortunately we couldn't get round it but hopefully we will reconsider in the future. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Thank you
Thank you, Bookends Team
Received on time. The books are well maintained it doesn't seems like used once.
Highly recommended .

Thank you Sukhyanta for your review. This is the quality of books that we try to maintain and hopefully it will always be the same. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
5 books at the price of 1 store bought book !
It’s been 6 yrs since I moved to Dubai and I have been desperately looking for a local lending library and I was so elated when I came across Bookends. The books that I got were in very good shape and it reached me in the given stipulated time. I got 5 books at the cost of 1 fresh mint book 😁 will definitely recommend bookends to all book lovers.
