Newest Review: ... after getting my intial offer books, and I was quite pleased because I'd got them all at reasonbale prices. But then they started sending me Editor's choices that I'd rejected. They did this 3 times, and each time I went to check online that I had indeed rejected it (despite knowing that I had) they had conveniently removed that choice from my Editor's choice history, which is supposed to ... more

... display all your past editor's choices and tell you whether you've received or rejected them. Each time they told me I'd have to pay a £3 charge for returning the books, which I think is crazy when I never wanted the books in the first place and they knew ...more

I really wish I'd come here before signing up to this website, I never would have joined after reading the other review which has experiences very similar to my own.

After placing my ... Read the complete review
