Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration you experienced. We understand how disappointing this must have been. Initially, the order number provided didn’t match our records, which delayed our ability to assist. However, we were able to locate the correct order and have since issued a full refund.

We appreciate your patience and your loyalty as a long-time customer. If there’s anything more we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards,

Quick help with a faulty delivery

I ordered three copies of 'Grief is the Thing with Feathers' but the parcel wasn't well sealed and only contained one copy upon delivery. I contacted Fishpond and they arrange for two more copies to be sent to me immediately. Wonderful service!

Possible scammers

Possible scammers. Avoid. Will automatically debit credit card premium fee of $49.95 if you don't advise them not to. No easy way to email them your valid concerns. Pathetic. M
