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!!

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!

Good online service but poor packaging Book purchase on line was smoothly… Book purchase on line was smoothly processed. Only shortcoming was the book was packaged in a cardboard box unwrapped and left uncovered on porch in heavy rain. Box fell apart when lifted. Fortunately the book was dry but would not have been if left out a little longer. B&N should use recyclable packaging for shipping books.

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.

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.
