Wob sells used books online, so there is no shop counter: contact runs through the help and contact section on wob.com, where you can raise your order and attach photos. The number in our data is 800-338-8382. Use the contact route on the site rather than an address you find somewhere else, because addresses circulating on third party pages are often out of date.

Always quote the order number plus the title, author and edition of the book, and say what you want: a replacement copy, a return, or your money back. Wrong edition sent and the return refused? Start your complaint here and we help you write it in minutes, drawing on thousands of complaint letters that worked.

Check the dispatch confirmation and the tracking, and allow for the fact that used books often travel from a warehouse in another country and can sit at a border on the way. If the tracking has not moved or the delivery window has clearly passed, report it in writing with the order number and ask directly for a replacement or a refund instead of an update.

If nothing happens after a written reminder, take it to whoever handled the payment: a card issuer or a payment service can look at an order that never arrived. Put the dates and both of your messages in your complaint here as well: our AI opens a case with you and keeps advising on what to send next and when to push the payment provider.

Import duty, sales tax or VAT and the carrier handling charge are set by the country you live in, not by the seller, and they are collected on delivery by the courier or the postal service. That is why an order that looked complete at checkout can arrive with a bill attached. Before ordering from abroad, check what your country charges on books and whether the checkout total already covers import charges.

If you were told at checkout that nothing further was due and a demand arrived anyway, keep the checkout page, the invoice and the carrier demand together. That combination turns it into a claim against the seller rather than an argument about tax, which nobody at customs will reopen.

Used books are graded, so start by comparing the condition shown at checkout with what actually arrived: a wrong edition, missing pages, water damage or heavy marking is a fault, while ordinary wear on a used copy usually is not. Photograph the cover, the spine and the damaged pages, then request a return or a refund in writing with those photos attached.

If a refund is agreed and then does not appear, ask for the amount and the date in writing. Put those photographs and the agreed refund date in your complaint here as well, and we push it out to Wob by email, social media and printed letters.
