Based on these reviews
Absolute scam
Absolute scam. Instead of a hardcopy book you receive an ebook. Even that didn't arrive until pressed for it. They wouldn't refund me my money even after sending their so called 'hardcover' book. Total scam.
Same as other comments here 1 star
Same as other comments here - it was not made clear that l was buying an ebook. I have asked for a refund and will change my rating if they honour that
DO NOT USE!!
DO NOT USE!!! This appears to be a scam company. I ordered a physical book for a present for a friend. An ebook was sent. Chased countless times explaining the situation and got same response every time. Not willing to refund or provide what we ordered. I asked for a copy of my order to prove what we ordered and they ignored. Last chance for a refund before I go all over socials with this....
I wish I had read reviews before buying…
I wish I had read reviews before buying from this website. I too was duped into thinking I was buying a physical book when it was an ebook. They gave me a choice to select hardcover or digital somi selected hardcover expecting something in the post. I even checked all their shipping information but after purchase was sent a download link. I contacted them to try and resolve this and they just stated I had bought an ebook and were unwilling to help me
Like other customers
Like other customers, I found it impossible to find a statement on Rilonson website that they only sold e-books. Only after making a purchase and asking when the book would delivered was I told it was an e-book. And even the e-book wouldn't download properly. This in my opinion is a scam.
Scam website!
I have had the same experience as the other reviewers. I was duped. Nowhere on the website does it state that its an ebook. I also entered a shipping address, for what? I bought a hardcover copy of the book and received an ebook instead?! Now they are ignoring my emails. Their website is false advertising! They will not give refunds! DO NOT USE! RIP OFF!
Scammers
Scammers, they sell ebooks advertised as physical books. Avoid!
rubbish firm
ordered a book for xmas -hard cover.
when it was not received i contacted them by e mail, wrote to them(no reply) and phoned them (answerphone)
i emailed them a few times and they said i had ordered an e book.i have looked at the site and there is no mention of an e book.
i asked for a refund and they said they dont do refunds
never use this site
Scammers!
Oh no I have fallen for this as well
I definitely ordered 2 hard back books.. I have had the same response as everyone else. Refund refused. So annoyed. Scammer company. Avoid!!!
They are a scam company based in…
They are a scam company based in Poland. DO NOT ORDER BOOKS WITH THIS COMPANY THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT DELIVER.
Not what it says on the tin
Dear, oh dear.
I paid about £1 less than other online bookstores (bargain) for a book for my children... or not. Having waited a couple of weeks for the book not to have arrived, I went back to the order and saw that although I had given delivery address etc, the receipt gave me a link to a download of the book. Grumble, grumble. False advertising springs to mind...
Website misleading
Website advertises hardcover books which I bought in good faith as a gift. An ebook link was sent. I did not request or want this. Refund refused. Reported to trading standards and bank. Once their error found I searched online for reviews and this misleading of customers is not a one off
Extremly dissapointed and misleading
Extremly dissapointed and misleading. They are letting you choose hardcopy for your book, fill in a delivery address, etc and then they send you a link for an online book. They have a standard template to all my complaints. Refusing to provide a refund!
Yo Will Get An E-book not Hard Copy. Scam
I ordered a hardback book 2 weeks ago. Emailed to see where it was. I was told it was an e-book.
I knew it had ordered a hardback. But gave them the benefit of the doubt and *stupidly* did it again. Taking great care to check and double check i had clicked 'hardbook'.
I went straight to the email conf, and there it was again, download.
Im furious
I emailed them for a refund and was told not possible and instructed how to to download and read an e-book.
As with everyone on here, wish id read reviews.
I also fell for this false advertising
I also fell for this false advertising, ordered a hardback book which didn’t arrive. Contacted the company who told me I’d ordered an e-book, which I knew I hadn’t.
Checking my bank statement, the payment went to ‘Salomino’ in ‘ Zielona Gora’ which I believe to be someone in Poland. I will be contacting my bank to help get my money back.
Feeling foolish as I usually check suppliers out before purchasing from a new provider 😡
No physical book
Unfortunately, same experience for me. I purchased a hardcover, but upon going to check when my book would be delivered I’m met with the e-book. Came on here to see others have had the same experience. Emailed for an update but no response yet. Don’t buy anything from here
Wish I had looked here first before…
Wish I had looked here first before buying. Same as everyone else, purchased a hardback (from the drop down option) only to be told they do hardback and refused to refund.
Avoid at all costs. Have contacted Trading Standards
Avoid!
Same problem as others, unfortunately. Ordered what was described as a hardback book, only to receive an e-book. My request for a refund was declined - their email said "Unfortunately, as this is a digital product, we are unable to offer returns or refunds, as all sales are final."
I recommend avoiding this company at all cost!
Avoid! Has options for hardcover books but only sells digital downloads!
Like others I ordered a hardcover edition of a book only to be hit with a digital download, I contacted straight away after reporting them to trading standards and on the gov.uk phishing site. They replied saying that they only sell digital books but would be happy to refund if I sent over my order number and date of order. I also included a screenshot of their website which clearly states that hardcover books are available and "in stock". I wish I had checked Trustpilot beforehand like I always do but for some reason I didn't this time.
