This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I & many of my colleague come across fact that Book deal trading operating in sharjah at bohaira cournish & dubai trap 98 % young people having least education & commit them that they will provide better future and within one year they will be promoted to manger's rank.

Hereby, there criteria is to sell one year old version books in uae door to door on cheap prices.

Firstly, a person works on his/her visit visa till expiry. Being employee they commit you for salary, you also sign the agreement but when job commence they behave in a such a way that, that signed agreement is just a formality. we will pay you commission only & to surprise a employee has to work up to 12 hrs a days even sometimes Fridays are not off.

This is worst example of greediness the executives of companies are following & treat like animals with employees without caring Labor laws. No medical, No salary, No Allowances, No other benefits. Hence playing with emotions giving them mental torture. Only & Only they provide is motivation in morning meetings just like brain washing showing them bright future.

Employee ties to work with the company because of their families & most of them leave company earlier as they get better opportunity or they realize the cruel aim of executives

Ministry Of labor should take strong action against Book Deal Trading & must review its licencing. Employees are bound not to complaint because if they go against with the company they will lose their jobs & a little money they earn with hard.

I am complaining about why the book cover is not displayed. It would be good to have

picture of the cover as I think it may interfere with sales.

Having to look at the product on another online site is not really a good thing.

Purchased 3 books for my sister as a birthday present. Was unable to change delivery address. Site very unhelpful.
No phone mumber listed is an active phone number.

Emailed via help and replied to confirmation. In 12 hours have not received a reply. Can't cancel the order.

Totally fed up with them. Sorry book depository reverting to amazon.

I ordered 2 books but 1 hasn't arrived yet.

They responded to my emails for about a week and now I'm getting no response from them.

Does anyone have telephone number for their UK office?

All the numbers I've found online don't work!

I bought some books in the bookdepository, but already passed the deadline and still have not received. Do not rely on bookdepository, they don't deliver the books sold.
