Thanks to Danielle's knowledge the problem I had with a torn flycover was dealt with smoothly, her warmth comes across in her voice and made me feel a valued customer, she took on board a suggestion I made and I never once felt that she was in a hurry to get on to the next problem, add to that I made a blunder in returning my book, and the next day she was there again to reassure me.
First class member of staff, well done to Waterstones for employing her.

Ordered a book online. It arrived damaged from a manufacturing error. Contacted the helpline, and was immediately supported with free return postage and labels. Within one week of returning the book, a replacement was sent. Excellent customer service with great communication throughout.

Inconsistent Pricing Between Store and Online

I enjoy visiting the stores, but there's often a disparity between in-store and online prices. This feels unfair. Aligning the prices would be more equitable, especially since you can opt for click and collect at the lower price. It puts staff in a tough spot, making the situation seem deceptive.
