I've been using them for years and still have some stock with me to give as presents.
These days however, I try not to buy any books for the children, as we have no space in the house anyway. Instead, once every few weeks, I take them to our local library which is by the river. The girls get to choose 8 books each. Then we feed the ducks and swans, and play ball in the small park just outside.My children love their outing!
I only buy workbooks these days, to help with their reading, writing and maths as you can't write on library books.0 -
I got mine today!
1 x 1-5 and 1x 10+
Now on Buy one for £7, but 2 for £10!! (plus p&p)
So - I got 20 Really great books (fantastic quality and good selection for both age groups!) for a total £13.50.
Bargain.0 -

Hi, would you mind telling me how long it took for delivery after you placed the order? You see I will be going away in two weeks time and are considering buying some books as gifts to take with me. Thanks!0 -

I got mine yesterday after ordering them on their website last Sunday. I got 2 childrens lucky dips, 1x 6-9 and 1x 10+, and an adult lucky dip. I found them ALL to be a fantastic selection......including 3 hardback biographies with the adult lot. Excellent value!Women marry men hoping they will change, men marry women hoping they won't!

Mine came within the 5 working days too.
I was so happy with my 6-9 and 10+ lucky dip, I've ordered 2 more of each
Perfect for any spares to go to school fares, charity shops, gifts etc.0 -
was impressed with my lucky dip too. i got vernon god little, which has a cover price of 10.99 and i quite fancied anyway. the rest look pretty interersting, and my grandma can have the catherine cookson.
Only problem is that i ordered a contempory fiction collection which looks a bit rubbsih, especially as i have 10 lucky dip books to read first. i'd have to pay the postage to return it, and since it's heavy its probably not worth it. oh well.0 -
i am very disappointed with my selection.ordered 3 lots of 1-5 and 3 lots 0f 6-9.All 3 sets of 1-5 were exactly the same and included 3 plastic bath books and 6 colouring books.phoned customer services this am and they basially said"tough luck".told me i could return them all but would have to pay postage!!!!!!0

I got a code for free postage in the mail yesterday
I also used the lucky dip offer so I am very happy with this company at the moment
*** code removed by Board Guide (please see here for explanation) ***
see my post on online & offline vouchers board for the code "Anyone need free postage for the book people?"
on the page after you select postage - £3.50 there is a box to enter the code & the postage will be £0

I'm really shocked at that. Could you maybe ring again hopefully getting a different person, and asking to speak to someone more senior if you get the same response?
I'd be mad as hell at that :mad:0 -
I emailed them after my 1 - 5 lucky dip contained 4 colouring books and 6 -9 had nothing really suitable for a 6year old. They called me the following morning and are sending me 4 replacement books for the 1 - 5 and refunding my money for the 6 -9 year old pack - I have just to donate the spares to charity - Excelent Customer Service - Phone them back!No Longer addicted to Boots! - Well not today anyway!! :blushing:
