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.

Book was shipped quickly Book was shipped quickly. However, I do think a "DO NOT BEND" label would have been helpful as the post office bent it in half to get it into my mailbox. Granted it is a not-too-thick trade paperback and I can put it under a weight and flatten it. Just annoying.

Book worm The B&N in Birkdale Village is huge. They have a wide selection of books and many hard to find books are available at this location. If you cannot find what you need, someone is always available to assist. The magazine selection is the largest I’ve ever seen along with the Starbucks sitting area. The books and other merchandise is reasonably priced. There are discounts on selected items all the time. When you visit, please be aware that parking can be a bit challenging.

Love the store but I have to say you… Love the store but I have to say you are lacking in the section or selection of books on atheism and philosophy. I have gone to locations all over the the country and I think I have purchased most of the atheism and philosophy books in your stores I have visited. The bible, christian, and spirituality sections are huge. Take some space away from those sections. I buy a lot of books from Amazon and directly from atheist authors. There are a lot of us who are atheist and enjoy philosophy. That section deserves at least 2 bookshelves but there is less than one in each B&N I go to.

Barnes & Noble has provided me with… Barnes & Noble has provided me with excellent customer support, both in person and via telephone/email. They have taken the issues with my orders seriously and provided very reasonable solutions. When I went to pick up the order in question, I was also greeted with a complementary Starbucks voucher. Little details, but from start to finish, B&N Customer support was excellent, thanks!!
