The Noble Hotdog Absolutely horrible, I had called Barnes & Noble about their new item, The Noble hotdog that I have been told about. They had given my Sisters boyfriends aunties cousin a hotdog when she had called and ordered but when I ordered I had gotten through and asked for one large noble hotdog please and was rudely rejected and threatened with the police! 😱 Over your new noble hotdog! More like the Noble Scam!

I have loved Barnes & Noble for years… I have loved Barnes & Noble for years and their customer service (when needed) had always been wonderful. This time was quite different. I pre-ordered a book that unfortunately got delayed by the publisher. That, however, was not the problem. The problem was that I ordered a hardcover copy of the book, but what arrived in the mail (when the book finally released) was a paperback. I promptly contacted Customer Service by phone, hoping to get the situation sorted, and I repeatedly received pushback. I double-checked my records and I had proof that I ordered and paid for the hardcover copy. The agents initially argued that I ordered a paperback. I did not. Then, after diving deeper into their records, they admitted that I ordered a hardcover, but said there was nothing they could do. The system recorded my order as a paperback. The only solution, they said, was for me to order the book again. This was a problem for me because my original order was with a 25% off promo and free shipping. If I had to order again, I would lose those discounts. The agents were able to give me a reference ticket that would approve me for those same discounts, but they refused to apply them until AFTER I placed a second order. They would charge me the full amount and then would retroactively apply a refund for the discount that would take several days. That meant they expected me to pay for the same book TWICE. And the cost of the book had increased, so ultimately I paid more anyway. Not only that, but they were nasty about the copy that I wanted to return. Customer Service flat out refused to issue a refund (on the wrong merchandise) until it was returned to them. I already wanted to return the book, but I can't understand why they had to be so nasty about it - as if I were trying to scam them! One agent (I talked to several) even offered to let me keep the wrong merchandise at no charge (which I didn't want) but then took the offer back! I asked to speak to a supervisor and that went even worse. I got the same story of how I would have to make a new order and they were being condescending with me because I was 'making things difficult.' All I wanted was for them to send me the hardcover I ordered and they already had the money for it! Instead, they acted as if it were all my fault and forced me to make a second order which never should have been necessary in the first place. I don't know what happened that caused my order to get mixed up in their system, but clearly Barnes & Noble is not taking responsibility and that shakes my confidence in them moving forward.

They are kinda pricey compared to other places but the books are always in great shape and they always have new releases and they have magazines and also learning activity books for kids. Books for everyone!! You think you can’t find a book definitely look here cause most likely you will find it

Beat up box. Fortunately the books were vacuum wrapped in plastic because the shipping box was too big, the air packs were not satisfactory to cushion the books so they shifted inside and the box was really beat up. By the time the USPS delivered it, one entire end of the box was gaping open. Only the corners of the two large hardback books I ordered were a little bent. These are Christmas presents so I wanted them to be pristine. Next time I think I’ll pick up in store, if that option is available. Otherwise order process was great and delivery was actually 4 days earlier than expected.
