MBE Books have just helped us with a large order for a year group reading project in our school and the customer service was excellent. The order was placed 3 days before we finished for Christmas and the books were delivered 3 days after we returned in January. The boxes were clearly marked with which books were enclosed and it made a big job so much easier to manage. Debbie was brilliant with her communication and kept me in the loop every step of the way.
Thank you MBE Books – we will definitely use you again and I will certainly be recommending you to other schools.

MBE books offers an excellent service. Emails are answered almost immediately, prices are reasonable and, almost always, deliveries arrive within a day or two. Their staff are efficient and helpful and the plastic covers, supplied as standard, mean that the books last longer. First choice, every time.

I have been ordering class texts from MBE books for about 10 years now. They are always very helpful, the prices are very competitive and they deliver very quickly. The books come supplied with plastic covers which ensures they last longer and this is at no extra cost. I have had no problems over the years and can't recommend them highly enough.

MBE books provide a quick, efficient, immediate service in the ordering and provision of a multitude of texts. In the dizzy lifestyle we lead as teachers, they take away one worry - will I have those crucial texts in time for my next lesson? Delivery of books takes a very short time and they come with invoice enclosed, dust jackets on and ready to rumble. On a personal level, I feel as though the people who work for MBE books engage with me and meet my needs as if they are colleagues and friends, which helps reduce my stress levels! I would highly recommend them for quality, speed and customer service.

Over the past few years MBE have completed large multi-titled book orders for our students. Deliveries have always been on time or early and they have gone out of their way to keep us informed on availability, stock levels and deliveries. They have dealt with last minute book choices and changes with good humour and fast turnaround.
