Reviews
I've never had trouble at this bookstore before since I was always just in and out, or if I did need help the staff were always very helpful. However, today Jan 11th around 11-11:15 am, when I went to pick up my books, the lady that "helped" me had terrible attitude. I didn't hear her the first time so I said "sorry, what do I need to show you again?" and she sighed and said aggressively "your order number. The last 5 numbers". I gave it to her and she went to look for my stuff. When she came back she rudely dropped my books on the counter. Terrible, terrible service. If I could give a 0 specifically to this lady, I would.
When ordering text books online be careful to read closely. I paid extra for a printed copy of the textbook on loose leaf!!! Instead of just getting digital. Waited outside for 20 minutes and couldn't get a hold of anyone via phone to pick it up while on my lunch break.
Aditi, whatever her name is the most ignorant and rude person that has ever worked costumer servicein my experience I waited in line and asked for help, she had asked another staff working and because she wasn’t able to locate the textbook I was inquiring she had asked a second staff for the where-abouts. Once the textbook was located she told me she will help me out at the register and in the midst of us both walking back she stopped to have a conversation with one of the staff and while I was waiting in front of the register she had told the next person in line she can help them then looked back at me and said “oh I didn’t know you were in line” as I stood in front of the register while I had been waiting there till she had finished her conversation. Horrible experience and truly believe this is not the position nor responsibility this young girl should be taking on. Topping things off she threw the receipt down while chatting up with another cashier in the midst of me asking for a bag for the text book, she had brought the bag then told me it cost $3.. would have been great to know before wasting my time. Today when I went to this bookstore another person who had asked for a bag was offered a plastic bag and when not able to find one the lady helping that person went above and beyond to get him a box. Good to see not all staff working here is rude and futile as Aditi. Unfortunate that 1 star is the Lowest rating able to give as feedback.
the phone number on this site is incorrect.
Good place to buy books... A little pricey and BUSY but they have very knowledgeable staff there
The staff are very helpful so thank you guys! But I've been waiting on textbooks my professors ordered in May and they still haven't arrived and it's coming into the third week of classes. Could be just one of those things, but hopefully they come in soon! Otherwise the bookstore is always great except for the line!
if i could give negative stars i would. they over charged me by 12.09....they charged me 53 dollars for a book that has a U of W pricetag that says 41.50. i am aboriginal. so after calling them on thursday and leaving a message about the overcharge they never called me back. and because i am aboriginal i am worried that if i go without calling first they will just say im lying and call security and i will be charged with trespass because they ripped me off. this has happened before...at other places more than once.... the police are an easily used weapon against first nations natives are not natural thieves...natives are not natural liars... however, it seems i have paid the price of that bull my entire life. this time it cost me 12.09...racist tax for daring to shp there. THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN A GENOCIDE. and i tried to post a picture of the price tag on the book of 41.50 and the bill that proves i was forced to pay 53. but...the pic wont post i dont think spending 200 bucks at a book store should leave me feeling so shameful and hurt. is paying the stated price too much to ask??? is being native too hard for non natives to serve? should i be automatically overcharged for because its too hard to treat me like a human being?
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Can help you order books in if not in stock. Only down fall is price of books are really expensive. Not staff fault.though.
It's fine. Helpful staff. Books are easy to find. Text books are always going to be pricey but everything else in the store is overpriced.
Great and friendly staff always ready to help. Great Customer Service
