I do not recommend Eason.com at all

I do not recommend Eason.com at all, I bought 6 audiobooks (tonies) as a Christmas gift for my children and they never arrived. I wrote more than 10 times to consumer service, of which they responded only 2 times, without having any idea where the order is. My children were left without Christmas gifts and even as of today, 07/02/2024, they have not returned the money of the order, which was more than €100, nor have they given me any explanation, nor have they offered to send me the order again. They have directly ignored me.

Cavan store

Cavan store. Lots of potboilers but few enough real books. Shop front looks mean. Perfectly nice helpful staff of course. Noel Conlon. Lisdonan. Bailieborough

The delivery service they use is…

The delivery service they use is absolute disgrace from any point of view. While promising to deliver in 7 working days within Europe (and Ireland I believe is still a part of it), they are struggling to do so in 17 working days. Just think about it when you are making an order.

Best service from a trusted Irish…

Super service from a trusted Irish brand. Bought a few books from the website & they were delivered when they said they would & in perfect condition.

Well done Easons! 100%

First Order, Long delivery

This is the first time ordering from EASONS and honestly my package is still not here after about 3 weeks.

I’m unimpressed and confused on why it’s taking so long

Late deliveries, Unprofessional customer service

Promised 1-2 day delivery. Item only got dispatched 3 days after. And the address was written wrong so it was returned back. Customer service didn’t even apologize for the delay, just casually said that they wrote the delivery address wrong. Not recommend.

Expensive but no major issues.

My orders arrive in perfect condition. Price is a little high for some things, and the fact that stores have different prices from the website is less than ideal. Generally though, haven't had an overly negative experience here. Wish that the click and collect service was better, limited selection. Doesn't really make much sense to have online exclusive prices on click and collect items, since you can arrange for collection and get it cheaper than visiting instore normally.

Not impressed with Easons

I visited Easons in Shop St. Galway today to start my Christmas shopping by buying a few books . I enquired about the returns policy over the Christmas period only to be told its the usual 28days, one girl said it would 'probably' be extended , the rest of the staff had no idea. Surely with just over 5 weeks left till Christmas they should realise that people have started their shopping and would like to give the recipients of a gift the option of an exchange at least , very disappointing

Bad experience

Tried to buy online, chose the book, confirmed all information, logged in with my account, put the payment details and received a message “we were unable to process your payment”but they took from my bank account. It happened twice. So I have to call customer service for refund. Usually I try to buy online from Irish Companies to support local but Amazon is better for books.
