Amazing life/job saving experience with the lady on the till in Liverpool lime street station Friday morning! I came from Doncaster for a works cruise ship visit to take pix & my fone was dieing, charger not working & a really kind, helpful, patient & professional lady helped me sort what I needed! I Can't thank her enough for today, she went above & beyond to help me get the right charger & pad & is a total credit to WHSmith! The best customer service experience I ever had. Please let her know how fantastic she is at what she does! Thanks Liz from Donny xxx

Better than competitors

Books arrived promptly, in great condition and in the most hardy delivery box I have ever held. Bought a couple of the same series of books at the same time from Amazon and the quality and care given to the books were in a different league; they were dirty and came scuffed. The box they came in was way too flimsy with no packing inside to stop the books from jostling about - unlike your packing. 5/5 service, I will be singing your praises and using WHSmith for any future book buying needs.

Easy to order and pay and was delivered as promised. Only downside was that whoever delivered it through it over 6 foot tall wooden, electric gates rather than ringing the bell to be let in. It's a good job it was only a diary being delivered not anything breakable

Great customer service and pre-order service

Great customer service, quick response, happy with outcome to my query and also offered me alternative choices. Pre-order notifications were good, kept me informed when my order was on route, even months later when the book came out. Good email offers.

Good reliable book sellers

I use this website a lot especially for buying books, as I am an avid reader. The Richard and Judy Bundles are great value for money. Orders are always despatched quickly and well packaged

Great as usual

This is the third time I've ordered the same style of academic year diary. It's perfect for my work and arrived promptly and in good condition.

Brilliant, professional service.

My purchase was bought on line. Delivery was spot on. Unfortunately, it was a birthday present for my grandson.... it was duplicated!! So it had to be returned. This was done at the Neath store. It was carried out professionally without any quibble. Repayment complete in a couple of hours.
W H Smith, I take my hat off to you. Brilliant service, both ways.

Found what I wanted but the search engine on your site is rubbish. It showed me almost no options when I searched for diaries but there were lots of options if I navigated through the menu screens.

Great sale prices

Great sale prices. Arrived well packed and undamaged. Took a little while to arrive but that was expected as it was free delivery.

Pleased.

The box being inadequately sealed stops me from giving 5 stars - however, the contents were well packaged and it was delivered on time.
The option to return in store was useful.

Excellent service quick efficient and on time. Only thing I’d say is to get free shipping is obviously 2 items and both items came separately and on different days . Ship them together next time save yourselves some money 👍 apart from that top job

Good service, quality products

Really happy with my purchase, website easy to use, speedy delivery and they dispatch items as soon as possible rather than waiting until everything is in stock. Good email updates, packaging very good, I got their own brand colouring pencils on sale and they are amazing! Very high quality and easy to hold!! I got free delivery as spent over £25 but on things I wanted and some items half price! Would recommend and I wouldn’t hesitate to order again! Very happy with my whole experience from start to finish!

Very unprofessional

I went to the WH Smith in Leeds city centre and was disgusted by the racism’s and unprofessionalism, I received from a staff member called Niamh. Then another female colleague came and started accusing me of being rude, I felt bullied at this point. Niamh’s told us to shut up and started laughing and walked off. Prior to this she had been aggressive and rude, I’m shocked and very disappointed and will not be returning to WH Smith ever again!!
I’m extremely worried about the vulnerable customers that come to WH Smith!!

W.H.Smiths Prison Corruption

What went wrong ! booksellers named by UK Prisons allow you to order for inmates. W.H.Smith, Blackstones and Waterstones, all Zionist entities, that's not what went wrong. Yes books arrive on time, but it takes 2 weeks to get to remand prisoner. Reason, could be spice laced pages. If that is the case, then why can you only order from 3 Zionist financed companies ? Its corruption at the highest levels. I bought books through companies they list, only because I thought that the reason for only 3 companies prisoners can get books from, was security. W.H.Smith is a corrupt institution along with Blackstones and Waterstones. Its evil that Zionist companies also control books to Prisons. If you have a family member in UK prisons then dont buy through above companies. EVIL
