Wow! Is this company for real I ordered and paid for a book over five weeks ago and have not had an update from them since the day I ordered despite trying to contact them via their website site weekly. They just refuse to answer and are not contactable by phone. DO NOT order anything from. Book loop as they are a scam.
Book ordered 3 weeks ago - set up account to track but no updates at all. Just a message saying we’re on it. ON 11774 9/6 - very disappointed as I have been chasing this book for a long time and was hoping to get it now that it has been reprinted. Sold out everywhere but BookLoop said they had it in stock. I’m a pensioner and don’t normally spend on books.
ORDER #12025 Update; unfortunately they refunded me without even contacting me, which is such a shame.. I was really hoping I'd get my book. I wish I had got any communication as of what was happening. - Been trying to contact them for a week. Unfortunately, it is really hard to get ahold of anyone. I was really excited as I had found this book I… Read more
couldn't get anywhere else, but after seeing all the reviews, I'm really worried. It did say it would ship 5-7 days, but its been a week now and no updates. I do NOT want a refund JUST YET, but I would love to know if the book is actually in stock, and if it will be shipped, as the listing has also been taken off the website. This is for shipment within Australia, so I didn't think it was gonna be that hard to get ahold of someone/take this long. I understand they're busy and deal with a lot, but.. yeah.

Trashhouse company to deal with. Ordered a book and it arrived but it's printed in Russian text. Company does not respond to my email. Tried to leave a negative review on their site but they do not publish. BUYER BEWARE

Reported the business to NSW fair trading today. There is nothing there at this business except a service for accepting payments. It's unclear if it ever existed but they have closed their social media accounts, do not respond to e-mails, offer no… Read more
phone number but the web site that attracts orders is still there. Do not purchase anything from this company!
Follow-up · After reporting the case to my bank I did at least get a refund. Unclear if it came from the bank or the vendor
Ordered a book in December’25 not received as yet March ‘26. No response to 3 emails sent over the last 2 months, phone just rings out. Finally got a refund via PayPal ( now that is a fantastic company to deal with with )
Follow-up · No follow up at all from this company. Fortunately, using Paypal, I was able to get a full refund. This company, if it actually exists, appears highly dodgy and should be stayed well away from.
Hi KJC, I can confirm your order was refunded on MARCH 23, 2026 12:22 PM.
Ordered books for my grandson 3 weeks ago. They still have not been delivered despite being told it would be 3 days. Despite reaching out via email giving the order number and the receipt number of payment I have not heard anything of what has happened to my order. Beware of this company.
Follow-up · A number of emails have been sent to the company quoting my order number but they do not respond to correspondence. Despite saying the books were in stock and would be shipped via standard delivery in 3 -4 days nothing was ever delivered. Buyers beware do not order from this company.
Positive reviews
I have had nothing but exceptional assistance. I queried my order as my brother is ill and I wanted him to receive it soon. I queried on a Sunday morning and had a response within an hour. That is exceptional service
Ordered 2 books from here, it's not a scam website, just a lot slower than people are probably used to due to the fact that they're a very small business from what their staff communicated over email. Their website gives the impression that they are a lot bigger than what they are. The shipping time says 5-7 business days on the products that I… Read more
ordered, however it's really 5-7 business days processing time and then shipment time on top of that. I also sent many emails for some kind of update on my books since I saw shipping time as actual shipping time, not order processing time. It wasn't until I gave a final warning that I would have to report the business if I did not receive some kind of reply that I received an email back explaining that they are processing my order. My books were shipped not long after that via Australia Post. I've read a lot of negative reviews and I can't speak for the people that have been waiting a long time for their books with no response whatsoever, however, this was my experience. I hope that helps someone who has ordered or is looking to order.
I placed an order with BookLoop for a book that I could not source locally anywhere else. Stated 5-7 business days. I then read through the 20 odd reviews and panicked. Messaged them straight away with my concerns and had a response with hours. I received the book on time too. I get the feeling this company does 1000's of orders and the the 20… Read more
odd that have not gone to plan have been reviewed here. No one ever does a review when things go smoothly. Well, it went smoothly for me. Definitely recommend.
Negative reviews
Do not use this service. Ordered a book April 24 - Order #10293 - labelled as in stock. No updates or correspondence since, even after 2 attempts to contact them VIA their website. Not usually a person to write negative reviews, but unfortunately this site deserves it. Don't waste your time or money. Look elsewhere.
Hi Dan, We are sorry to hear about this and thank you… Read more
My husband ordered a book for my birthday 9 weeks ago order number #10293 No shipping confirmation given, no response to the help centre in enquiring an outcome to be given. We will never be ordering from this company again. Poor form having no direct contact number and now I can see why. Highly suggest no one orders from here and sticks with reputable companies like Booktopia in future.
Hi Stacy, we have refunded your husband's order based on his review. appreciate the duplication with Dan..

I placed an order several weeks ago and have had no update on my order or any shipping notification. Have reached out to the company several times and heard nothing back. Wish I read these reviews before ordering.
Hi Claudia, Thank you for the providing an order number. I can confirm your enquiry has been resolved.

Still waiting after 3 weeks for my book order. Was hoping to give it as a birthday gift but it has not arrived in time. No response received to my email enquiring about expected delivery date.
Hi, Can you please share an order number and I'll help you with your order.
Don't waste your time or money. The first tracking email I received was an hour after the product was delivered. I paid $80 for a book as a gift but the quality was terrible and so cheap looking. Only way to request a refund is to submit a form on their contact page but no responses.
I think this is a scam site. I ordered a book on the 20th March and no reponse. NO tracking. I put up an message on there message section twice, no response. I wrote them an email and no response.
Hi Ella, Can you please provide an order number so we can help you?
Don’t do it. Ordered a text book for study, website said book was in stock & would ship within a Cpl of days, almost a month later, hasn’t been posted. Multiple attempts to contact them for an update, no response. Asked for a refund, no response. Luckily, I pad via PayPal and they have refunded. Purchased text from another store and arrived in less than a week.
Do not buy from this scam brand. Ordered a gift for my partner weeks ago - money taken no invoice and no information on shipping despite numerous attempts to contact,
Hi Mel, Can you please provide an order number so we can help you?

Follow-up · I eventually got my books on there web site there is no phone number to ring them i sent at least 3 emails with response it was sent via post i would have been a bit happier had they bothered to answer there emails
Scammers. Been nearly three months. Book hasn’t arrived. Can’t call them. No response.
Ordered the book 02/02/2026 with the fast shipping fee, still no response, i will arrange the complain against this place. no email no response, just took my money
Hi Baaska, Can you please provide an order number so we can help you?
Ordered 2 books, no response other than we’ve got your order. Been waiting 2 weeks , nothing. No reply to a message sent either. Just checked reviews , oh dear wish I’d done before ordering.
Follow-up · After receiving a refund from PayPal , the company then communicated and sent the books. Saying they deal with many orders a day. I wouldn’t have sought a refund if I was kept in the loop with its status. The delivery was only across town not overseas nor interstate. Perhaps they need to improve the response time for notifications and communications system with their customers in order to reduce bad reviews.
Made an order 3rd of Jan now 7 feb. sent countless emails still no response, no update nothing. Don’t buy from here
Waiting one month so far. Money gone. No book. No reply.
I purchased a book on the 9th of January and the money was taken immediately from my bank account. I haven’t received any notification from the company or any responses from the messages which I sent via their online form on their website. Like many others I am frustrated with the lack of communication. I definitely won’t be shopping or recommending anyone to use this site.
Good morning, can I please have an update on my book that I purchased in January. I sent an email… Read more (+1 reply)
Ordered a book, payment taken immediately, but two weeks later nothing has arrived. No shipping update, no response to emails, and zero communication. Extremely disappointing service. Feels unreliable and unprofessional. I just want either the book delivered or my money refunded promptly.
