Beware of signing for£15 a month subscription. It’s set up easily for you to miss if you want to purchase a book you think is a bargain
I agree with all the other reviews on being easily caught out. I bought a book a while ago and I’ve realise I’ve been charged £15 a month for a while 😫. Most expensive book I have ever bought! It definitely wasn’t made very clear. Beware

Hi Nicky,
Unfortunately, we have not been able to find you in our system, as you have not provided any information when you have made this review.
We are very sorry to hear that you have unfortunately not paid attention to the membership, which is when you choose to shop at our member's price and accept our member's conditions.
The membership is disclosed throughout one's purchase, both before, during and after, and you must actively accept the membership conditions before the purchase can go through to the membership price.
We also always offer a normal price which is without a membership. It is therefore completely up to you whether you want a membership or not.
You are welcome to contact us if you have further questions.
Best regards,

DO NOT GIVE BUUKS UK ANY OF YOUR MONEY
It is evident by the number of negative reviews that this company operate in a corrupt way, which dupes you into a stealth subscription service. I purchased a small toy item and found out 6 months later that I had been paying £15 a month subscription. I reported this as fraud with my bank and I demanded that they sent me all the data they hold me under GDPR but they have stopped answering emails from me now and just ignore me. No doubt there will be a reply below appearing where they can't find my details or ask me to contact them to confirm, (only for them to ignore). DO NOT USE BUUKS UK FOR ANY SERVICES! THEY WILL ONLY TAKE YOUR MONEY BY STEALTH. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Hi James.
Normally, you must provide information so that we can find you in our system, as specified when you make a Trust Pilot - unfortunately, you have not done so.
However, we were able to find you based on your name - For another time, it helps that we get the right information from the start so we can give the best possible answer.
We are quite puzzled by this review, as we can see that we have been in contact with you by email and by phone. We have explained to you in detail about the membership and we have also answered all your questions via email.
We are very sorry to hear that you were not aware of our membership, as you shopped at our membership price and actively accepted our membership conditions.
Membership is indicated throughout your purchase, and you must actively accept the membership conditions before the purchase can go through at the membership price.
If you do not want a membership, we always offer a normal price - it is therefore entirely up to you whether you want a membership or not.
We would like to emphasise that we do not ignore our emails and we can see that all your questions have been answered by email and phone.
Best regards,

As with other reviews listed below, I also only purchased 1 book and was not aware of the £15/month membership. I have bought many many books online and I have never experienced anything like this. I am appalled by the lack of information and communication. I have sent them an email asking them for a full refund of money that I have unintentionally spent in membership and also intend to refer this incident to the police.

Great value, don't listen to negative reviewers!
I'm not sure how other reviewers manage to miss the fact that there's a monthly membership charge, it's very clearly stated all over the website from the home page onwards, and when you select a book for your basket it clearly has 2 options - the lower "member price", which involves accepting the monthly membership cost, or the higher "normal price". Right next to the membership price it explains again that you need to sign up for the monthly charge to buy it for this price. It tells you once again when you go to check out your purchases. It's not "small print" at all, it's everywhere.
You can cancel any time, so you can just sign up for a month if you want, and then cancel very easily.
It's very clear and I don't think it's fair so many people are giving 1 star reviews because they managed to miss something very obvious. If you are looking to buy several books it's a fantastic service, you can save so much money. I find I can get a bunch of brand new books for the same/less cost (including the membership cost) as buying battered second hand copies from ebay, and way less than Amazon etc. I've had a couple of deliveries from them and I'm really happy with them.
I think people are angry with themselves for not reading the details displayed all over the place, and taking it out on the website! Very unfair.

Yes, for those who read all small print and order lots of books regularly this might be a good company but if you are an individual who just quickly buys one book and doesn't expect to be signed up to a monthly membership of £15, it's a terrible company! I bought plenty of books online and I've never been signed up to some kind of monthly membership and for £15! It's a terribly high price to pay and you get no emails, which is obviously very convenient for them. What kind of company doesn't even send any regular deals/ offers to their customers? This one doesn't because they like keeping you in the dark and carry on paying for months and months. A decent company would actually send something if they saw that their member has not purchased anything for months or even years but they don't bother! Greedy and completely lacking any decency!

Hi Laura,
We are really sorry to receive this review which is on the very low side.
Unfortunately, you haven't provided any information, so we can't verify if you have made a real purchase with us.
We inform you that we are a book club and that it costs money to be a member to be able to save a lot of money and get low shipping fees - We also offer a normal price that you can choose if you do not want membership.
Therefore, it is a shame that you have not been aware of the information both before, during and after the purchase if you have shopped with us.
Best regards and best wishes

Please believe the one star rating
Please believe the one star rating. My granddaughter purchased a book from Amazon for £3.42 and a subscription was set up without her knowledge for £15 per-month. Unlike other reviews, we provided them with the information via phone & email and they were able to find my granddaughters details on their system. All they did was send back the original confirmation of purchase and confirm the subscription had been cancelled. No mention of the 7 monthly subscription payments made before this issue was identified. In this time my granddaughter received no communication or books. I'm guessing a small print tick box was included in the terms somewhere. Do not deal with them! We are taking it forward with the bank, the police and solicitors.

Hi Martin,
We are very sorry that you have not provided any information as you have made this review, which is recommended - however, we can read from your review that you have not made a purchase with us.
We have not had the opportunity to investigate this further as you have not provided any information.
We would like to emphasise that we have nothing to do with Amazon. We can only charge when you have made a purchase with us.
We are sorry to hear that your granddaughter has not been aware of our membership, which is when you choose to shop at our member price and accept our membership terms.
The membership is indicated throughout the entire purchase, both before, during and after, and you must actively accept the membership terms and conditions before the purchase can go through. It is a box on its own and is not in the small print in the terms and conditions. There are 2 boxes you must accept when shopping at the membership price.
We also offer a normal price, which is without a membership. If you do not want a membership. It is therefore entirely up to you whether you want a membership or not.
You are welcome to contact us if you have any further information. As long as we get the right information, we can always find customers in our system.

Deceptive practice!!
Just had to deal with a very upset grandchild who bought a book from this company via Amazon. Not realising she had agreed to a £15 subscription being taken out of her bank every month. I immediately looked at Trust pilot and can see she is not alone. She too has paid over £100 for a book she brought as a present. Shocking, deceptive practice. Amazon should not deal with this company.

Hi Andrea,
We are sorry that this review is on the low side.
As you state, you have not made a purchase with us, however, it is your granddaughter who has shopped with us at member price, we are a book club as we also state both before, during and after. We are not amazon but we are Buuks.co.uk your book club.
We are also annoyed that you have made a review when you have not bought from us at all - at least you state that yourself. So to make trustpilot real, you have to have shopped with the company.
Have a pleasant day.

Beware of subscription!!!!! Terrible customer services.
I purchased a single book back in January, paid for my book and thought no more of it, this month I notice Buuks have been taking £15 out of my bank account every month since. I would never have knowingly clicked a subscription button….beware!!! I haven’t been back to the site once since that initial one of purchase in January (a gift for someone) Explained all of the above to Buuks Customer services, told them I didn’t knowingly sign up for a subscription, Buuks not interested, it’s not right. Has this happened to anyone else??

Hi Julian,
Unfortunately, you have not provided us with any information - we are therefore unable to help you personally.
However, we can inform you that we are a book club, as we state on our website, where you can shop at member price or normal price.
Regarding the membership price, we disclose it before, during and after you purchase - with a pop-up with the information, on our front page, inside each item, in the basket, in checkout, where you also have to actively accept the membership for the order to go through and then it appears on the order confirmation received and in your account once a month until you cancel your membership.
We are therefore very sorry that you have not been aware of this information that you have received throughout the purchase.
If you do not want membership, simply select the normal price during your purchase and then there will be no membership.
We hope this answer can help you make your experience better - you are also welcome to contact our friendly customer service.
Best regards and best wishes

Do not use this Company Scam !!!!
Do not use !!!!! I brought a book from Buuks back in November last year thinking I had a bargain then my bank contacted me this month about this scam that I hadn't realised I was caught up in. So the book in the end cost me £107.00 in total. I had no idea I was even signed up to a subscription and I have never received any notification of this via email or text. So they gladly debit your account £15.00 a month and the customer has no idea. I put in a refund which was refused but the direct debit has now been cancelled.

When you shop with us, you can choose between 2 prices. A normal price without a membership or a member's price with a membership.
The membership is disclosed throughout one's purchase, and one must actively accept the member's conditions before the purchase can go through to the member's price. We would therefore very much like to emphasize that there is no cheating with us.
