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!

Shipped fast, one book damaged My books arrived in two days of ordering them but one is folded pretty badly, I’ve got thick skin so I won’t return it but it is mildly annoying. EDIT: They offered to replace my book within 24 hours of this review being posted

Gift Card Issues-B&N won't make it right On 12/19/2023, my fiancé purchased a B&N gift card in the amount of $50 for me from store #2082. This purchase was made in cash. When the purchase was completed, the cashier- Maeve L stated that there was an issue with the register and that they needed to move to another one. She "reprocessed" the transaction and provided the gift receipt but stated that she could not provide the actual receipt. She confirmed that the card was active and had the funds on it. My fiancé went on his way. The gift card then sat wrapped under the Christmas tree until Christmas day, in no one's possession but the tree. Fast forward to 3/24/24 which is when I attempted to use the GC in store #2082. When attempted, I was told that the gift card was not activated but since I had the gift receipt, it would be no issue to have the card replaced, I was to call the customer service number. Upon calling, I was then told that the card was used 3 days after purchase though it was sitting wrapped under the Christmas tree and in no one's possession. The 4-digit pin was not revealed until I attempted use in store on that Sunday, 3/24/2024. If this is the case and the card was used while in no one's possession (but a tree that does not have the ability to make purchases), then we were sold a compromised card. When I had not heard back in over a week, I called the customer service number back. The gentleman I spoke with then had the audacity to ask me if "the person who bought me the card may have used it and not told me" Which really irritated my fiancé. After escalating to a supervisor and going back and forth with her for some minutes, she finally pulled up my email and located the notes on my account. She advised that my concern was still being investigated. On, 4/2/24 I received an email from the B&N team that nothing can be done since the card was never activated. I have been provided with different information from every single individual that has investigated this concern for me which is very troubling. This card was purchased and paid for at a brick-and-mortar location and a physical gift receipt was provided yet, I cannot use it and have been going in circles. I have communicated with B&N on multiple occasions via email now providing them with all requested information including screenshots of the GC and associated receipt. I have received nothing but radio silence. My BBB complaint remains unanswered and my concern unresolved. I will no longer be spending any of my hard-earned money at this company unless they decide to take the time to make things right. - B&N has contacted me below asking for more information. More information had been provided. No contact since.

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.

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!!
