Unsubscribe button
Beware that once u allow BORDERS BOOKS to send u emails (about price reductions, specials etc.) and it soon becomes a twice a day affair so u have literally enough of it and decide to unsubscribe... u'll be unhappily surprised that their UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON doesn't function. Do u know of any other spammers who use this trick?
Usually i do not bother with idiot comments like this: the subject was UNSUBSCRIBE, helloooo! Then (s)he goes on about spelling errors which i do not have but (s)he does, hellooooo again ! Maybe ur brain is not working.
member card
As of april 2009, barnes & noble has begun threatening its employees with job termination if they fail to meet a strict quota of "member card" sales. The quota is a percentage based on the number of cash register transactions the employee handles in course of a month (Managers, of course, are immune from this requirement). This nonetheless creates an...
Read full review of Barnes & Noble Booksellers and 14 commentsunauthorized membership renewal charges
I have been a member of Barnes and Noble since May last year. My husband asked me yesterday if we would like to renew it as we he had received the renewal notice in the mail and we were thinking about renewing it when we went to the store on weekend. This morning I was checking my credit card charges online and I came across a Barnes and Noble $25 membership renewal charge. I did not remember authorizing them to charge my account automatically. I called the store and then the member ship number they gave me. The complied to remove the charge. When I expressed my dissatisfaction from the incident, I was told when you open it at the store, you will automatically be renewed unless you tell them. That is nice. They solicited me and told me verbally about all the benefits and all I have to do is to fill in my information, but forgot to tell me about the renewal policy. Then they told me that the credit may take up to two months. This is close to fraud as I could have missed the charge or may have thought that I had bought a book at the store. Even though, I was going to renew the membership, I will NOT anymore and will stop shopping at that store. This is clearly BAD practice if not fraud.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I experienced the same thing. Today upon checking my credit card statement, I discovered that Barnes and Noble had charged my credit card for $25. I reported it to my credit card holder, thinking that someone had stolen my CC number and used it, but when I went on Barnes and Noble's website I discovered that my membership had automatically been renewed. I did not authorize auto-renewal for this membership.
I agree! Total FRAUD with Barnes and Noble! They are ripping everyone off --- if you try and cancel it, you will wait on hold for hours.
they are still getting away with ripping people 6 years later. Its no 2020 and I just had the same problem with them charging me for years for a renewal fee and I never benefited anything because I never went back.
I am surprised that auto-renewals like these are legal. We just received a $25 charge for our Barnes & Noble membership, and neither my wife nor I can recall joining or authorizing this membership. I'm not saying we didn't opt-in many years ago, when there was still a brick and mortar B&N store in our town. But when I called their customer service to dispute the charge, they wanted a member number. I didn't have that, so they asked for my name. That didn't work because it turns out this was in my wife's name. There's no way to determine that from the vague charge in our shared checking account. So they asked for my phone number, last four of the debit card, etc., until it finally escalated to their finance department. From there we determined it was my wife's account, and she was just as unaware of the membership as I was. B&N says they send an email or a paper letter that would have asked us if we wanted to cancel before the renewal came up. While that's entirely possible, my wife has no recollection of this, nor should she have to monitor her inbox for every shady company that wants to charge her for her lack of diligence in this scenario. These types of membership renewals should be illegal in my opinion.
In 2009 I paid for a year-long membership with Barnes and Noble for reduced price in books, etc. It is now 2013 and yesterday my husband was checking our Credit Card for expenditures and asked what the BN Renewal Membership fee of $25.00 was for. I said I had no idea. Immediately I went to Yahoo and plugged in "BN Renewal Membership", surprised to find that several other people had been similarly duped by the company. This is how it worked: After I paid for tne initial 2009 membership Barnes and Noble sent me an email giving me the option to agree to auto-renewal each year. I get so much spam etc, in my email account that I just delete without reading it. Apparently the default for not filling out the email request, is to automatically enroll you in the renewal process.
The following year, feeling that I had not gotten my money's worth, when the cashier at Barnes and Noble asked me if I wanted to renew my card, I said no. Did this stop their criminal, scammiing activity? Hell no. Every year since theyn they've taken out $25 AND EACH TIME I BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM THEM THEY STILL ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO PURCHASE THEIR DISCOUNT CARD. "NO, NO, AND NO."
The woman at B & N who explained all this too me acted as if they were stealing my money and it was OKAY because I hadn't opted out of auto-renewal. What I'd like to know is what regulatory agency gave businesses this loophole? This is the fourth time I've been suckered by this type of BS. The first, ATT allowing some stranger to atttach a fee for unspecified services to my ATT monthly bill, is now under suit via a class action order in which damages will be sought.
I told the woman at B & N that I would never shop there again. I'd been a loyal, frequent visitor: never, ever again.
Yikes. I've been a loyal and happy customer for many years, but they really (REALLY) bungled a recent shipment. Rather than boring you with all the detail, let me just suggest that if you use them, be sure to check the package-tracking website repeatedly to ensure that shipments really HAVE been shipped -- it seems that their shipment notification emails are by no means accurate. The funny (but not really) thing is that this would have been a very easy problem to fix, had it not been for further ineptitude in their response (i.e., ignoring repeated follow-up emails). Ugh. Off to Amazon for this girl.
I ordered two books online August 18 and have yet to receive them eight days later. I have been tracking the shipment, which traveled from New Jersey to Kentucky to Georgia to North Carolina, and I'm waiting for it to end up in South Carolina. Considering they sent it from GA to NC rather than straight to SC, I won't be surprised to find that it wanders on over to Tennessee before I finally get it.
Now pardon me while I go scream profanity into the desolate emptiness of my mailbox.
I went into the store twice this week to tell the girl my coffee was bad the day before they were busy and understocked with help[ the young peter pan chick was rude to me and made me feel as if I was a dummy for even complaining at all she was working today and a very rude girl they were more into christmas decor. what jerks peggy a
Here is a copy of the complaint letter that I wrote to Barnes & Noble only to discover that not a single person in either the call center or the local stores was willing or able to tell me where to direct my written complaint:
"To Whom It May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to make a formal complaint about the service I received when calling your call center earlier today. I would like to make a grievance about the following:
1. I was shipped the wrong product.
2. Upon trying to arrange to receive or exchange this incorrect shipment I was lied to. This lie entailed incorrectly negating the possibility of an “in store exchange.”
3. I was placed on hold for 50 minutes while waiting to speak to the manager of a representative at which time the line disconnected me.
4. A third party was able to call into the call center while providing the incorrect name for the order and acquire information about the order including credit card information.
5. Upon calling back to the call center I was again refused the opportunity to speak with a manager.
6. I was verbally accosted while simply trying to speak with a manager.
Any one of the above listed complaints are reason enough in most call centers, which in most cases are considered customer service for the discernable reason that they service customers not defraud, insult or otherwise misrepresent themselves to the customers, for immediate termination of an employee. It would be reasonable for a customer to then assume that it is in fact the policy of this particular call center to offend customers beyond all consideration of repeat business thereby contributing to the gradual and steady decline of business and overall public opinion.
You may thank the prompt and accommodating service of your manager Clarence for keeping this customer from refusing any future transactions, canceling my membership and doing everything in my power as a university professor to stop everyone that I’ve ever come in contact with from doing business with Barnes & Noble. As it stands, my largest concern with this incident is that my personal information was provided to an unverifiable third party. I am strongly disappointed in this company and utterly furious with the treatment of both myself and my personal information. I believe you’ll find at least one of these in direct violation of your privacy policy and quite illegal.
Awaiting any and all correspondence related to the direct resolution of this grievance."
I've ordered a Nook and than they offered me a Complete savings through same website
by clicking you want a trial for 30 days Barnes and Noble submit your credit card and probably collect a fee $12 per month
which a though was my subscription to a Financial Times Newspaper
I did not recall given my credit card and strongly believe the profit of this scam is shared with Barnes & Noble
when calling center you get 4 months credit after a year of billing ILLEGALLY for nothing

online textbook buyback
I recently used barnes and noble's online textbook buyback service to sell about eight used books. I did the online price quote and printed a mailing label from b&n's website. Subsequent correspondence originated from 'mbsbooks.com'; apparently b&n farms out this buyback service. Fine. But, mbs books received my box of books with an alteration - - in the place of a book that I was quoted $9.80 for, they claimed to have received a book that they valued at exactly zero dollars. I sent a notice of the error to the email address provided by mbs books, with no response. I resent the email two days later, still no reply. So, I emailed barnes and noble, who informed me that I must direct my complaint to yet a third company (Textbooks.com). I did this, and was informed that one of two things must have happened: (1) the package was damaged in transit, and when usps repacked it, a book not mine was mistakenly inserted into my package, and my book was put in someone else's mail (I'm imagining an overturned mail truck on the highway, the driver frantically trying to repack books that have become hopelessly comingled... ). Sorry, b&n/mbs/textbooks.com, but when usps damages a package, they put a notice on it; you would have known there was an issue. Anyway, textbooks.com also suggested this could have happened (2) : the book was misidentified when it was checked in by their staff (Really... Why didn't I think of that?). The isbn's of the two books in question are not even close to each other, but whatever - - mixups happen. Textbooks.com's representative told me two things: one, that in the future I should purchase shipping insurance from usps (Even though it is pretty obvious that usps wouldn't have surreptitiously swapped my book for someone else's... And no one suggested that there was damage involved to my package) , and she also said that "as a one-time courtesy" they would pay me for the book I sent them. How paying me for the book I sent them, that they mislaid, is a courtesy - - and why they will only do it once - - is beyond me. Anyway, to sum up: dealing with barnesandnoble.com's online text book buyback is somewhat frustrating, not at all confidence-inspiring, and not, interestingly, doing business with barnes and noble anyway (Since the transaction is actually done by two other companies. Next time, i'll sell my books locally.

Bad service
I went to Borders Books to purchase a Christmas gift for 19.95 with a 40% off coupon. I picked up three stocking stuffers on the way to checkout, one of which also cost 19.95 and the others were cheaper. The clerk said she would take the discount off one of the 19.99 objects and she rang up a 19.99 stocking stuffer with the coupon. When I returned the stocking stuffer in the required time period they would only gave me 60% or 11.99. I complained to the clerk and the manager and they insisted they couldn't give me the full price because it was rung up at the time for 11.99. I was penalized because I purchased more products. If I had left with only the gift intended I wouldn't have this problem.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I worked at Borders and customers like you made me want to tear my hair out. Use your basic math skills of you have any.
Wow, this really takes the cake for dumbest thing I've heard lately. You think you deserve $20 back for a $12 item? No wonder the economy is so bad, with customers like this.
If you returned the $19.99 stocking stuffer that you got the 40% off on, then why would they give you the regular retail price back on it when you didn't pay that?
The coupon was used on that particular item and they wouldn't have to apply it to other purchases you made if that's what you wanted them to do.
Just take the $12 if you really don't want the item.
So you felt that they should have given you 19.99 for an item that you paid them 11.99. wow ... if you find a place that will do that ... you could buy and return things over and over ... and really make some money on them ... and get everyone to do it to but sadly they would go out of business in a short time ...
but i REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA OF PAYING ... $12 AND GETTING $20 BACK ... I could just stop working and go around shopping and returning ...
membership
Recently, I purchased a barnes noble membership ($25/year) and received the card about two weeks ago. Then after it happen, I experienced a series of stupidity and foolishness made by this big bookstore chain. First, I could not get my membership number to work. I can't register the number to the online profile, nor can I use it for online purchase in their website. I constantly get this stupid message: "your membership number is already assign for another account. Please re-check your number again. " I got this message both when I try to register the profile and when I went to the "payment" box when I was about to pay for my purchase. Needless to say, it is quite useless to pay $25.
I tried to call the toll free customer service and I did manage to talk with them. The only good thing out of all this mess is the fact that I didn't wait long until an agent answer my call. But all other things are just none sense. The agents were not able to fix the problem because in their system, they cannot see any problem, at least that's what they said. I tried to communicate via e-mail to the membership dept and another stupidity happened. I was asked to give names and membership # etc. After I gave it, there was no certain solution that was given. Hence, after I had a series of long e-mail conversations I tried to reply one of the e-mails and guess what?
One agent replied to that e-mail asking me to give my names and membership # again! As if it was the first time I e-mailed them.
I strongly suggest everyone not to consider being a member of barnes noble. You don't have to pay $25 and get all that mess I got.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I'm very upset at b&n. I signed up for their kids club card and I've had it for a while and I always make sure I use it everytime I purchase a book for my son. Well today I went into the store and the employee who swiped it informed me that my card/ membership doesn't exist and the card is not even working. How could this be possible? She told me to re-fill out a new form. I asked what happened to the points I had supposedly earned from all the purchases I've made and she said if have to start all over again. I was so angry finally asked for a manager and so he says he fixed it but when I check online nothing seems fixed the hundreds of dollars I've spent haven't been accounted for on my card it's still showing that I've spent zero dollars at the store. Never going back to this book store again what a rip off!
Don't buy a membership from B&N unless you spend a LOT of money on books VERY fast.
I have never gotten one for the simple reason that, when you spend $25 for the card, you don't actually see a savings until you've made that money back in discounts. You have to have spent $250 worth of merchandise, which in 10% discounts makes up the $25 you spent on the card. AFTER that time is when you actually start to get a savings, so, for example, if it takes you 6 months to make back your $25, you've only gotten half a year's worth of discounts, NOT a full year. Is $25 for a 6-month membership worth it? I think not.
They will never tell you this when they give their shpiel, only persuade you to sign up because they say you can "immediately" get a discount. But, until you've made that $25 back, all you're getting is reimbursed in discounts for what you spent on the card. For someone who buys books heavily, it may turn out to be a good deal for them. But, for folks like me who don't spend a lot at B&N except on the occasional magazine, it's a ripoff. Save your money, and sign up for the e-mail coupons, which don't cost you a penny.
Not everything is eligible for the coupons (apparently not magazines), but you still may find it to be a better deal than spending $25 for the "privilege" of getting a "discount" from them.
Terri Pucin, Vice President of Customer Experience for B&N.. try contacting her through the switchboard main number [protected]. Good luck although I recall her being the biggest ### in the world and she is supposed to lead the entire company's customer experience but she is absolutely a horrible wench which tells a lot for the company if the person at the top is completely rude.. Sandeep Varma is the corporate head of Loyalty and rewards, follow up with him..
loud obnoxious christmas music
Today I went into barnes and noble on broadway in tucson looking for an art book I saw there last time I was there. There was loud christmas music playing, the hollywood mafia screaming about how the lord is king, etcetera. Man, I couldn't stand it! I was looking through the titles trying to find the book, and this horrible white christian male culture was screaming at me. If I wanted to go to a christian church, i'd go to a christian church, but since i'm a buddhist I don't do that. How would christians feel if buddhists or muslims or whatever were to scream their religion at them for a month and a half every year? If americans want to bathe themselves in religious monarchy, move to another country! Here, we don't like monarchy, and that means real americans don't like christianity dressed up like england or saudi arabia. Jesus wasn't a prince, but just a man, and his big white father in the sky doesn't exist, only his real one.
I complained to the service desk when I left, and of course, the guy made faces at me. If ignorance is the presumed status quo in america, well then, what does that say about the kind of people we are?

Just because you don't follow a particular faith, doesn't make you a "non-American." And contrary to popular belief, the founding fathers were Atheist. "In God we Trust" was put on currency to make people such as yourself feel adequate. "If you had half a brain" you wouldn't be a condescending [censored] and be so quick to judge. What an obvious American you are. Keep believing what everyone spoonfeeds you, though. Typical Christian.
I find a lot of the music is sound offensive due to the screaming. It sounds like hog calling at a state fair, accompanied by musical instruments. the singers should not call themselves artists, but should be kept away from any recording device altogether. It's not just ethnic. I mean Celine Dion singing Christmas music sounds revolting as well as Black singers. Mellow it out people!
Did you use your "American" money to pay for your purchase? Have you read what is written on it". The thing about America, that you should "get" if you had half a brain is...You had the choice to leave and not spend your money there, why stay and then complain? What an obvious non-American you are.
I completely agree, as I am an employee and B&N and agnostic. Try working there every other day with Christian music forced into your ears. Even worse, the Bible Belt is defacing anything that is not Christian or has Obama on the front. It is absolutely DISGUSTING.
fraud
I just discovered an "unauthorized charge" on my credit card from BarnesandNoble.com that just occurred 11-14-08 for $66.22. In calling Barnes and Noble the rep asked me a few questions that would determine "if the order was indeed fraudulent" such as billing address, email address, card number etc. in which NONE OF THIS INFORMATION MATCHED! however, the rep could not reveal the items ordered nor the shipping address of these products even though it was my CARD! get this - the order had even already shipped so it would seem that revealing info would not be a problem because IT WAS MY CARD USED FRAUDULENTLY ! So i called my bank (bank credit card) and they were appalled because they dont even have on record that Barnes and Noblem called them for AUTHORIZATION which they should have done on all online purchases!..So now I have to wait until monday morning to call the Barnes and Noble Sales Audit Dept to correct this. I have since deleted my card info off their website for future purchases and having a new credit card issued but it seemed like Barnes did not really take ahold of this fraud purchases seriously.
Sharon Stogdill continues her fraudulent schemes. She charges 38.++ on my credit card, thru WALMART. Items were shipped to her address at 1315 Poplar St. Atlantic IA. Her email address is mumbo jumbo, (paoahyelgibrmbodojykygfesoyowakqe) and she attached this to my legit email address. How she got my c.c. number I don't know. Watch out Sharon, we know who you are and where you live. Jail isn't pretty and neither is the alternative.
Same thing here. The header says Walmart but the footer says CVS!

YOU PEOPLE UP HERE TALKING ABOUT BARNES AND NOBLE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.
BARNES AND NOBLE IS NOT A SCAM YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP
Something strange is going on with B & N. I placed an order last week for books for school and then yesterday received an email asking for verification information in order to finalize the order.
The email was from book.com and requested all of the following information via email! When I called and spoke with a supervisor named "Lea" she refused to give me any information about and hung up on me!
Either it is a scam or they have an inept security department. I will NOT be doing business with Barnes & Noble online until something changes.

Same thing happened to me... my credit card was charged $114.49, $115.49, $116.49! I called Barnes & Noble Audit Dept, they wouldn't tell me who made those charges and what items were "purchased". I called my credit card company but they couldn't help me anymore since they have a regulation that they can't dispute "fraudulent charges" if it was more than 60 days old!
Happened to me in February for roughly the same amount as everyone above. They couldn't release who's name was on the order or other shipment info. They gave me a fax number for local law enforcement to request it directly from them. Unreal.
Same thing just happened to me, only I was charged TWICE by Barnes and Noble each time for $74.75. I too called and was given the run around both times. I did a large amount of online shopping before Christmas...but have NEVER shopped at Barnes and Noble online. Will be more careful in the future using my debit card online.
inept customer “service”
My advice is succinct: if you must use this company, be sceptical when you receive the "your shipment is ready to leave our warehouse" email. Check the ups website routinely and make sure that ups actually has received the package.
The idea that their online customer "service" may reply to messages "within 24 to 48 hours" is really a significant problem in this day and age.
I have been a happy (And generally loyal) customer of this firm for many years, but am really annoyed (And a little amazed) by their ineptitude, and am sorry to say that I won't be buying from them, either online or in their stores, ever again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I ordered a packaged set of three books (Published by microsoft) from barnes & noble.
Only one book of three arrived - after 28 days. Nothing was back ordered.
My credit card was overcharged.
B&n "customer service" is not interested in solving the problem, intervening, or issuing a credit within a reasonable time.
No further response from b&n or the reseller after multiple emails and phone calls. I have reported the charge to vi?Sa as fraudulent.
Stay away from b&n.In my opinion they are a rip-off.
I ordered a book online @ b&n. The payment was processed however I am still unable to download my book. I have sent emails and called (Each phone call you hold for approximately one hour and then are transferred to someone who sounds like they are in thailand). I was told the first time I could download my book within hours of course there is no record of this call. They refused to credit back my money and refused to give me a gift card for a new book. I asked for a supervisor and was put on hold for over minutes and no supervisor ever answered so I hung up. My e-reader was a christmas present and I am considering returning, buying a kindle and trying amazon. Maybe their customer service is much better it can not be any worse. Horrible customer service I was actually told that many people are complaining about not getting their books and that is why the hold time is so long. Still no resolution. We asked the rep what would you do if you paid for a product and the company refused to ship it? It is unbelievable. I also shop at the local barnes & noble but after this customer service I am switching to another store for my book purchases.
I bought a magic card trick gift for a grandchild's january birthday in december during the christmas sales. I was not able to give the gift and went to return it on 2/5/12. Barnes & noble would not return the gift because they said the time period had expired to return the gift, i. E. 1/31/12; nor would they give me a store credit which I would have gladly accepted. They indicated the terms for returns was on the back of my receipt. Does that mean I had to first buy the gift to see what their "returns" procedure was? It's not like the gift is out of date. The same product will be for sale next christmas.
I will never buy anything from barnes & noble again.
I have purchased the NookColor from Barnes & Noble. The NookColor is an e-reader, i.e. a device for reading ebook. It came with an USB cable for charging and also file transfer with desktop PC. At the beginning, everything works normally. But few weeks after the purchase, I found I couldn't perform file transfer with the USB cable, i.e. my PC didn't recognize the device at all. Fortunately, I have another cable and tried the file transfer. It worked. Therefore, I knew that cable was defective. I then contact BN via email. They then replied that I had to contact them via phone. I called them but their hotline was extermely busy and I had to wait in the IVRS loop for more than 20 minutes before answered by their support. I talked to him about my problem. He checked with my detail and finally confirmed that I should get the replacement. But at that moment, I told him I would like to confirm him the delivery address and then finished the call. Later on, I decided the delivery address and I sent email to BN to ask for the replacement. But they only sent me the "robotic" reply to ask me to contact them by phone. I was frustrated that their email support channel is actually useless. I have explained that the IDD had already costed me more than that of the USB cable. But they still keep on sending that "robotic" reply...
I purchased a demy for my wife's birthday at the end of may. When she opened it on her birthday in the middle of june she did not like it. We contacted barnes & noble about returning it and did as they stated. It was signed for on 7/2/10. They have told us that they have given us the $216 credit on several different dates. But the credit card company said that credit has not been received. We have tried contacting them and they won't reply. We have filed a complaint via our credit card company. I would not recommend anyone doing business with barnes and noble on line or on the phone to place an order.
I have copies of emails stating that merchandise was received back and that credit was issued. But as of 9/1/10 it has not been credited.
I was given two gift cards in december and used both to order a built neoprene 15 inch mac book pro bag. They delivered a 13 inch bag. I then sent back the 13" bag and was told a 15" would be delivered to me in a week or two. Two weeks later I got an email that they could not fulfill the order. No refund was issued on my gift cards. Meanwhile I had destroyed the cards because I had placed the order - big mistake. I've just made my third attempt at getting either an e-gift card or mailed gift card. They always say it will come in 7-10 days and never arrives. Meanwhile, i've cancelled my barnes & noble membership. If I do ever receive the refund, I will quickly use it and then never order from b&n again. Terrible service - amazon is so much better and helpful.
B&n doesn't have a customer service at all, their customer service is terrible. They have accepted orders for touchpad and hold the money in credit card, after a day they cancelled the order saying there is no stock, how can they accept order without stock, it is completely a scam.. I would have bought elsewhere if they showed as no-stock and dont accept orders.
I called customer service, no answer. I mailed them for the reason for cancellation, no reply till now. I don't buy anything from here and never recommend this site for anything.
My experience today relates to ordering online - you can run into situations where you've placed an order, cancelled the items in your order, but then have the orders "authorized" to ship to you despite your cancellation request. After I contacted customer support, I was told that the order had gotten automatically authorized and that clicking on the cancel links were was just a sham and that the system had overrode it. My only recourse left is, after receiving the shipment, to go into a store in my area and return it. I was told that not even a supervisor would be able to change the order status so there is some arbitrary point (Which you, as the customer, would never know) where you cannot cancel the order.
Please be advised about this aspect of ordering online from barnes & noble: what their system decides overrides your attempts to modify or cancel online without clear indication of what actually happened. If you happen to wander into b&n's online store, ask yourself the following:
1. Amazon has cheaper book prices overall - am I here because I just want to contribute more money to b&n's coffers?
2. If I order something and want to change it, chances are that I will need to hoof it to a brick and mortar store to do any returns. Am I here because I don't, in truth, like the convenience of ordering online and need an excuse to take time to return something in the store?
I ordered a number of items from Barnes & Noble online on Nov. 29th. Now I am being told that only one of the items will be delivered before Dec. 25th because one of the items was back-ordered. At no time was I given an option of having some of the items delivered earlier and was only told about this delayed delivery when I called up to inquire. They then refused to deliver the items that were ready any earlier unless I paid an extra shipping fee. Customer service at its worst. When I sent a complaint to their email, I got a canned response back three days later apologizing for any inconvenience. Now I will have no presents for my children for Xmas, and no guarantee that they'll even arrive before 2017. I'm livid. Amazon.com would never treat a customer this way and I will never order from Barnes & Noble ever again. I wrote a column about my awful experience at the Lynbrook Patch at http://ow.ly/3nb8w
I ordered textbooks from b&n on 9/2. I got an email receipt which I have to confess I didn't look at closely because I figured my books were happily on their way (3-7 days!). When I finally looked, I noticed the ship date was 9-23 with no explanation. I called on 9/8 and found out the entire order was held up because one item was on back order. I cancelled that item and was assured i'd have my other books in 3 days which would have been friday. Well, turns out my other items didn't ship until friday and will arrive too late for my assignment. Changing an order apparently takes 24 to 48 hours to process. How can that be? I will end up purchasing all my books at full price, will have to return the b&n books and will be out all the shipping costs.
Textbooks are time sensitive. Why wasn't I notified that one of my items was backordered? Why weren't my other items immediately shipped separately? I would have long since received them. Amazon provides these services all the time.
sports illustrated magazine!
I would like to know why Barnes and Noble finds it appropriate to display, a Magazine picturing a topless women in a place where children are around? I was getting coffee at their little Starbucks island, when my eyes were severely scared from glancing at a Sports Illustrated Magazine, with a young woman wearing only a carefully placed necklace and little bikini bottoms! I love to take my 3 year old there to look at books and for story time. But after this incident I hesitate every time. I don't want my son to see this! It is highly inappropriate and disturbing! If Sports illustrated insists on pushing the limits what's next? No top or necklace? If they won't cover their cover shots then Barnes and Noble shouldn't put them in a place where children are certainly going to be! What kind of ethics would allow something like this...
P***OGRAPHIC images at child's eye level, at checkout stand, in Scottsdale, Arizona store. PLAYBOY, Sports Illustrated (cover model suggestively posed in a tiny swimsuit), and more. You can not make a purchase without your children seeing these. I spoke with the store manager who's only comment was that the magazines pay for placement. I will be sharing the photos I took of these magazines stands, placed low enough for any 2 year old child to grab, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Yelp. Also with the PTO of our elementary school the next time they consider having a book fair here. The business decision to place these p***ographic images in front of our children at their checkout stands (obviously at a corporate level since people from all over the country are posted similar comments) boggles the mind. My family has been such a big supporter of BN through the last 2 decades, but as my husband said, "No longer".
Breast feeding is not inappropriate but displaying women as "sports", objects and playthings is. You know the difference.
You have to remember a 3 year old has a completely different mindset than you. Do you think we should blindfold young children while they breast feed? Obviously not. They are much more innocent and therefore generally ignorant of such things. They probably didn't even notice it until you started freaking out. I've found that the screens that sometimes cover magazines are generally placed there to appease the repressed/easily offended adult more so than protecting the minds of the children.
Wow! I'm shocked to see how so many narrow minded people we have here with absolutely no respect for kids. I'm making a similar complaint to corporate in just a few minutes. My story, on the other hand, is a little different. I'm disappointed to see that Barnes & Noble can allow Children books just a few feet away from XXX rated Adult books showing graphic pictures of sex. I took a picture to send them and it's disturbing. I brought it to the clerks attention and over heard the clerk tell the manager that it is corporate's decision where they place the books. I'm furious and want an explanation... how I would have to explain to my child if he were to discover a sex act book while he's searching for children books. Really? I'm not against having the books in the store at all... but have some coed of ethics here people. Have some respect for parents who want to go into a book store with their kids TO THE KIDS SECTION and not worry about running into PORN!
That's funny cos you know what? I've been in a Barnes and Noble where adults are reading adult magazines in the kids section and books from the sexuality section and they leave them there. Congrats to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. I'm glad it makes people uncomfortable. Your kids are going to learn about sex anyways, and there is nothing wrong with the female figure that is in barely there bikini's. Bet you wish you were her or "with" her.
I made the same complaint. It isn't that the image shouldn't exist--it IS that the image should NOT be displayed at eye level with a 3-year-old at the checkout counter. Which is exactly what I witnessed, a 3-year-old child staring face to face with a topless woman while mom bought him a child's book. I'm not sure why that would not disturb anyone.
If any of you who call her a "prude" would gladly show your child this image, you would be convicted of child abuse. It is easy to avoid the self-help section. It is easy to avoid the magazine section with Maxim and other covers inappropriate for a child. It is not possible to avoid the checkout line if you want to buy a product. It is not possible for a mom on her own to hold her baby, buy a book, and hold her 3-year-old to prevent him from staring at images right at his eye level. And Kristi, many a store has been sued b/c of injury to the child within that store--it is legally not always the parent's responsibility but the store's to provide a safe environment and the store is the responsible one for what occurs there (whether I agree with this or not, doesn't matter, there are plenty of court cases that verify this, look it up.)
When I questioned the clerk, she said "well, we sell a lot of them." And that makes sense. Sex sells, and money is important right now with the economy, but should it be allowed at the cost of showing a child soft porn?
*If anyone disagrees that this cover is soft porn, the legal definition of soft porn includes: Sexual images that are not violent...Portions of images which are considered too explicit may be obscured (censored) through various means. These techniques include the use of draped hair or clothing, carefully positioned hands or other body parts, carefully positioned foreground elements in the scene (often plants or drapery), and carefully chosen camera angles.
I work at a Barnes & Noble and I'm very sorry your eyes were scared. Maybe you can get them into a support group for frightened body parts to help build their confidence.
As with ALL public places and establishments, it is PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY to look after your children. If you do not want them to see certain things, don't take them out in public. Actually, turn off the television at home and black out the car windows as you drive as well... I've seen what people do sitting at stoplights!
Trust me, the Sports Illustrated and magazine rack in general is not the worst thing you will see on the shelves at a bookstore. Near Self Help you will see a whole section on Human Sexuality that contains full frontal nudity and explicit sexual positions... right there at eye level. In other words, it is not the responsibility of Barnes and Noble, Borders, Books and Co., et al to parent your child or "what if" themselves into a state of perpetual fear.
First of all get over yourself ok! Open your mind a little ok, done be such a prude lady, eyes were scared, please stop being so dramatic.
First off the Human body especially the Female human body is defiantly not "highly inappropriate and disturbing" unless the person has not taken care of themselves physically or hygienically... “my eyes were severely scared” Why cause the lady gracing the cover was way hotter than you could ever hope to be? Quit being such a PRUDE.
no credit for returned books
In october 2007 I mailed in 10 books, in one box, for return credit to barnes and noble. All the packing slips were included in the shipment. They were all packaged in one box. I received credit for 7 of the returned books, but it has been a constant battle for the last three books. The customer service people insist that they have not yet received the books in question but I know that is impossible as I sent them all in the same box - realistically, if they received the first 7 books, then they must have received the last 3. I have been corresponding with these people since october and have found them to be completely without empathy and have no idea what customer service is. I have all the original emails sent to me by them, most of them with differing stories and resolutions.In fact one of them promised that I would have my credit within two billing cycles, that was two months ago. Someone owes me for the 3 books returned. This is getting increasingly more frustrating. Barnes and noble has the worst customer service i've ever experienced. I've cancelled my b&n membership and credit card and will never do business with these people again. Can anyone help me?!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I ordered birthday gift for my little grandson on line, Learn to Draw projector kit. I paid the $3.00 extra to have it gift wrapped and had it shipped to his house in ID. UPS did a good job of delivering it but when my grandson opened the package, all the contents of the projector kit was gone and replaced with 2 small empty boxes, pieces of paper, a broken buzz lightyear toy, a baby bib, 2 plastic fruits. I contacted them by email 2 days later still no word, so i dug till i found the phone number and was told that they no longer have the item in stock but would refund my money to my debit card when they receive the bad gift. I told them I was not paying to ship it back to them and they need to process my refund so I can afford to buy him the gift somewhere else. After a few heated words, she said she processed refund request but would still take 3-5 business days, it didnt take them 3 hours to deduct it from my account but it takes that long to get it back to me.
They have lost me as a customer and i will tell anyone that will listen!
I never go to Barnes & Noble so I never had a problem.
Terrible customer service. Tried to make a return after 14 days of a gift that was a duplicate. No one at the store had the authority to ok it even tho we shop there every week. Dont buy your gifts at Barnes and Noble.
I ordered two DVD's online with a gift card in December, and two months later I received an empty package. I called their customer service line which is 1-800-The-Book and they told me that they would send it again.
Just today I remembered that I had never received the DVD's. I called them and they told me they could not do anything about it. I'm never buying from them again.
barnes and noble falsely advertises & fast and free & delivery
On december 16th, I ordered items from barnesandnoble.com to be used as christmas presents. I normally would never order so close to the holidays, however, the website advertised - "fast and free delivery. " according to the advertisement, orders placed by the 17th would arrive 3 days after being shipped from the warehouse. My items were shipped on the 19th and scheduled for delivery on the 22nd.
However, ups has now rescheduled the delivery for the 24th. I will not be home to receive this delivery as I will be visiting the people for whom I ordered the gifts that I will not have for them.
Had I known this would be a possibility, I would never have ordered from them. Their customer service operator explained that they have "no control"over ups who apparently do not deliver on the weekends. Why, on earth, would a company as large as barnes and noble use a shipping service over whom they have "no control" and who do not deliver on the weekends?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Was in Woodinville, WA doing some shopping and saw the Barnes and Noble Starbucks and needed a coffee. On our way in I saw their sidewalk advertisement in colored chalk saying, "Book Haul 50% off".
It was colorful and cute and caught my eye, so I looked for any requirements like, "For members only", etc. Nope. Just that caption and some books drawn at the bottom of the chalkboard. I thought I'd grab a couple of books for end of summer reading.
Went in and purchased three books expecting them to be 50% off. The clerk said, "That's only on selected items". I replied that that's not what your sign says. It says "50% off". He even went outside to look at the sign. Came back in and repeated the exact phrase to me, like I didn't hear him or understand him the first time.
He was kind enough and wasn't rude but didn't seem to care that that's false advertising. I told him he must be careful about advertising because the clothing company Justice was sued in a class action lawsuit many years ago and the company has since disappeared from shopping centers around here.
I'm going to call customer service to file a complaint, but don't have time to be filing false advertising lawsuits. It really irked me that he flippantly dismissed the importance of correctly advertising and the effects that this can have on a company. Like it's no big deal. When I left another clerk came out, walked by the sign, looked at it and walked back in. I waited in the parking lot to see if they would change the ad at some point and they never did. Like it's unimportant that they are using the ole' "bait and switch" or "click baiting" us lol. Not...
I agree that the express delivery is a sham. This is false representation and they could be liable for misrepresentation. I ordered a book with express shipping 5 days ago and it has not even been processed yet, let alone shipped. There is no way it will be on time for my son's friend's birthday present. I will never order from them again.
I've been a Barnes and Noble member for at least 5 years. My daughter is an avid reader with 7foot tall bookshelves full of books from Barnes and Noble. The Express 1-3 day delivery is a lie and a sham. I get frustrated each and every time because it normally takes 1-3 WEEKS and NOT days. I'm going to try Amazon since they have a lot of good reviews.
I used to be a diehard fan of Barnes & Noble but their shipping practices baffle the mind, especially when you consider the excellent customer service of their competition Amazon. I don't mind having to wait for an item a few days but don't lie about it! Don't tout 1-3 business days express shipping when it will take at least a week to leave the warehouse, and on a FRIDAY which prolongs the wait 2 more non business days! FALSE ADVERTISING! If this book wasn't sold out everywhere else I'd cancel my order.
I have a membership with B&N which promises free express delivery. I placed an order on Sept. 24 (everything in stock) and found out that it won't even SHIP until Oct. 15. How is that express? I emailed them but no one bothered to return my email. I've since cancelled my order and will not renew my membership with them. (nor will I ever order from them again) I'm sticking with Amazon from now on.
Try contacting Terri Pucin, Vice President of Customer Experience for B&N.. try contacting her through the switchboard main number [protected]. i think the email is tpucin@bn.com or some format of firstname lastname @bn.com Good luck! although I recall her being the biggest ### in the world and she is supposed to lead the entire company's customer experience but she is absolutely a horrible wench which tells a lot for the company if the person at the top is completely rude.. I think they should fire her and hire someone that understands being nice to the customer and more competent.. hopefully they will see this! Pass the word and stop big corporations like B&N from stealing from customers and not being accountable!
I pre ordered a book and i still have not recieved it even though the tracker says its riding around my town.
No one has control over the UPS. I know that whenever people have a problem with slow shipping the complain to the people who have no control instead of complaining to the people who are the ones causing the problem in the first place the UPS company. Once an item leaves the sellers hands they are no longer in control of how long it takes to get an item they just can estimate on past experiences. So in other words it is no use to complain to Barnes and Nobles about the slow shipping because they can't do anything about it no matter how much you complain, etc. If you need a book by a certain date then do the logical thing order early like weeks early and not days early. I'll be the first to admit that I have no empathy for those who choose to shop last minute, so to speak. Now if barnes and noble had shipped in out late and that is why it got to you late then there is a base for complaint.
Barnes and Noble's Fast and Free Delivery is only partially legitimate. It's free yes, but fast, not so much. I placed an order for three books and a CD. The CD was shipped on July 11th and is scheduled to arrive on the 16th, and the books, which were shipped separately (I am assuming they are shipping from a different warehouse) are not even in transit yet, which means they will arrive even later than the 16th. They need to switch to the USPS. At least they provide services on Saturdays also.
barnes and noble has unprofessional and hostile staff
Yesterday my husband I went in to the store to return some purchases we bought at the store. The "manager" helped us. He was some hippie looking dude with a skin head look. He was very aggressive and hostile. He proceeded to tell us that they weren't a library they were and store and he wasn't going to return the items because it was at "his" discretion...

Hi everyone, we're hoping someone nice can resolve this blog for us. We'd like to know why we were denied our money back from Barnes and Noble, when going into the Enfield store here in town to do something simple as returning 2 books. Is it your policy to keep our money at all costs, while thinking we will be satisfied with store credit only, immediately...

I sit at my desk and get a pop up in the middle of what im doing at least once a day. That's cool, right? "Borders" promising great savings- sweet! Just go to a store and attemp to utilize a "savings" and see what you're told. I'm done!
I visited the Borders store, which is located on 6103 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago.
The environment of the store is very unwellcomming, and the cashiers are very rude. I have been to this store before, and I have been having the same impression too. The manager, who worked on Sunday, was very polite and helpful. He is a male. However, there is a female working during the week in the evening who seems to be looking for a guy. As many times I go there with my boyfriend, she is trying to seduce him. She keeps passing by him on purpose, smiling at him, giving him the eye and bending at him as some easy girl. I have been told the same information by other girls going there with their boyfriends. In addition, she is using her power in her premises in order to make two people break up. I had a coupon for 40 percent. She didn't accept it. She kept attempting to seduce my boyfriend by thinking that I will start acting unprofessionally because of the fact that she didn't let me use the coupon.Other girls have told me the same think. However, she can not expect to break two people with a strong bond by bulling and teasing the girl. The guy will prefer to stay with the girl he is with rather than going for a mean and rude one. A real bully! After that we went to the store located on 4718 North Broadway Avenue. Unlike the store on Lincoln Avenue, the people in the borders store on Broadway Avenue were very polite and helpful. In additon, they accepted my coupon. Of course they will accept it since there was not any pervert manager. I told my man that I don't want us to go anymore to the Borders on Lincoln Avenue because I didn't like how I was treated, and he agreed with me. Other girls have done in the same way. Not only my friends but also my relatives will not go there shopping any more. This pervert store manager makes the store loose lots of money. If Border owners don't want to have a bad reputations and losing money because people want a wellcomming environment where they be treated professionally and with respect, they need to change the manager who is seducing her customers . If the pervert store manager needs a guy, I would suggest that she goes to craigslist.com or clubs.
To unsubscribe, you may do so yourself on their website or shoot an email to customer service.
There is no unsubscribe button in the email they sent me. Or at least it's cleverly hidden. I'm livid. How is that not illegal.
The most you would get would be 3 a week 1) coupon 2) speacial offers 3) Borders rewards perks. And the button works just fine. maybe your computer was not working?
That is entirely untrue, in fact. I get about two emails a week, promoting special deals and sales and offering useful coupons. If you sign up for Borders Rewards Perks, which you would know because it requires extra steps, then you would get a few more 'perks' a week. I opted not to do this. The whole thing is rather easy.
Haven't tried unsubscribing, but based on your spelling and general misinformation about Borders, I can only guess that you were doing it wrong.
(BTW I haven't had 'literally enough of it'. I literally enjoy books! )
