To order a book

I don't like being referred to as a "Pissed Customer" I feel that is a poor choice of words. I was "Frustrated" that I bought into the Books a Million club. This book was not available in store, but I could however receive free shipping. It was 3.00 less on Amazon, with free shipping The store associate that i spoke with was very polite and I apologize to him if he thought I was "pissed". I was disappointed and frustrated that I spent $25 for something I will not be very likely to benefit from.

Poor customer service

I did promptly receive a reply to my email. However, I have no idea if my concerns were shared with the BAM Breckenridge Lane store. The attitude of the staff should be a concern and is certainly an influence on the customers. There is no welcoming to customers, no willingness to help unless you wait for them to vacate their computers.

I've only ordered this one book from them, and it was back ordered and due to the COVID-19 and just a publishing no longer willing to print the book is what I was told it's been very frustrating because I no longer know who to blame for the book being still up on this website saying it's not available in store, but they're on order I told them multiple times that the publisher company, so they were no longer going to print the book but yet this website has not been informed by them so its very frustrating and confusing other than that I personally cant really say anything else about this website

Poor service and policy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Saw a book on line was in stock. I drove 45 minutes to the store and found it and when I went to pay it was higher. I showed them the price and he said it was the on line price for pick up at the same store I was in. I was told I would have to go home and order it on line and come back and pick it up. I asked for the manager and was told he was the manager and that was the policy. Interesting idea for sells. Letting a sell walk out the down and losing a customer. Not in these types of games and I do not have to buy my books from this company. You lost my sell today and in the future.

Not an issue, I merely had a question regarding blind box items.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
The customer service representative explained that it is not possible to order an entire, untouched case of blind box items online, as they are picked from the warehouse. I have to go to a store to do so, however, the nearest store is over 80 miles away.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was going into the Beckley WV store to shop on Sunday March twenty first at noon to shop the lady at the register asked if I had a mask I replied no that I have medical conditions and cannot wear one she was very hateful and disrespectful and said I can shop the website and to leave the shop. So I will shop online but it will not be from your site. Cary Bland
