Eason Anmeldelser 

If I could give no stars I would. It’s been over a month since I placed the order. Shows that it’s dispatched but not recognized by An Post. All customer service responses remain unanswered. Such a shame that a once mighty institution can’t get their act together in. Epic fail

Extreme poor service.
Ordered one book 13 euro from Eason on 9 February, its now 16 feb.
The book is 3 euro dearer on Eason compared to other sites in UK.
I want to support irish businesses and I understand why there are delays at this time.
I contacted Eason customer support and all I get is one automatic reply to my 4 emails as to my order.
The tracking number is saying not in their system even today at 11 am
Unfortunately I would not recommend Eason, and I will be ordering from hopefully another irish supplier.

I ordered 1 book on 04/02/2021, still havent got it on 12/02/2021?? I am in Ireland, how difficult could it be to send it. I got an email soon after with the tracking number, which led me to anpost tracking, and it turns out that it hasn't even been shipped yet? 8 DAYS LATER!!!! I sent a message to their contact centre, automatic response. Tried to ring, no answer. Never buying from them again.

Very helpful when I entered the wrong address, they amended it nearly straight away. Very fast delivery. Would highly recommend

Ordered the Billie Eilish book a few weeks ago. I was stupid and forgot to fill in my house number. I’ve been trying to get in contact with them for weeks now and they don’t reply on any platform. Also when you call them no one answers. It’s frustrating and I’m very afraid that I’ll never get in contact with them and I will never receive the book. It’s very upsetting...

Aggressively accosted at door of Easons Galway by junior clearly inexperienced staff who refused me admission as I did not have the specific title of the book I wished to purchase. This against the backdrop of an ( not surprisingly)empty shop. There is politeness and rudeness.. guess which I saw. Never again. Why bother opening.

I have placed an order for children's reading books on the 11th of January 2021 and I received an email confirming my order has been received, processed and scanned by An Post. However, when I check on An Post's tracking app with the tracking numbers I got from Eason's, I get a reply that the tracking numbers dont exist. I checked again a few days later but to no avail. I emailed Eason's customer service on the 18th of January but got the standard unhelpful reply. I understand that online requests and orders are on high demand. Eason's should have predicted and prepared for this. I assume that as they sell and supply newspapers that they would have seen Covid cases were on the rise and lockdown of level 5 maybe possible. I have seen retailers who didnt open during the last lockdown now provide online services during this lockdown. I have ordered from other companies who used An Post to deliver their goods to their value customers. When I got tracking numbers from the companies, I was able to track my order on An Post app. Very disappointing Eason Management needs to do a course on Customer Experience.

Absolute disgrace. Waiting 2 weeks for my order. Wont answer all my queries. I was going to buy from book depository as half the price, but against my good judgement said I would keep it local and Irish. They told me in first reply stuck in an other country. Do not I repeat do not buy or trust this company.

ordered a book on-line, it took 2 weeks!!! for the book to be dispatched - that should be highlighted at the point of order, i could have ordered a cheaper version elsewhere to be delivered quicker

Will not be using Easons again, ordered over a week ago.I got email following day to say they had been picked at warehouse & to allow 2/3 days for An Post to pick up. Still waiting, can't track them. Contacted support twice, no reply to first message. Reply to second message was that they are coming from UK. Delay not their fault & all the usual pass the blame. Brexit will be the ongoing excuse for the next few months. I will not be buying from them again.

They shipped out my item very fast however the post was slow so the books somehow got damaged but only one of them. So far, I'm a bit happy and I would recommend for everyone not to buy during december months 'cause the courier gets slow.

I believe Easons sent me a damaged book, because it was securely wrapped in a box and some of the top pages were torn which is impossible when it's securely wrapped.

P.S Easons customer service is very helpful and they're very kind.

Do not order from Easons, terrible service and you might not get your items. Ordered a 2021 diary on Jan 1st and emailed days later after no update to which they eventually replied that it was still in the "picking" stage. I noticed what I ordered had since been sold out on the website and got no further updates on the order. After having to get a link to view my order status through a special email (not available freely on their site) today it has been "cancelled" without any notification or explanation from easons themselves. Clearly they fulfilled orders to people who had purchased after me and had not bothered to tell me.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. I ordered some books online. I wanted to return some books and attended the Omni branch to be told there not an Easons and that i had to attend a "proper Easons" to return my online order. I then attended the Swords Branch to return my order filled out forms etc to be told they do not do online processes in store and that the books would have to be returned to their warehouse and i would have to wait for my refund. I have twice emailed their online help system with NO REPLY to any of my emails. I still have received no confirmation of my return nor my refund. Please stay away from online ordering. Buy Irish if Irish businesses actually cared about their customers i might, i will not be purchasing from Easons again.

I ordered on Black Friday- last weekend in November, this is the worst customer experience I have had. It cannot be blamed on Covid-19/an post. It took 16 days to dispatch my parcel without all the items and I’m still awaiting the second dispatch. I can’t recall a worse service provider. 30 days late dispatching a candle and missed Christmas

I ordered books from Easons online on the 1st December. These books were Christmas presents and they have still not arrived on the 24th of December. I have tried to contact Easons in relation to this on numerous occasions and have never received a response. I have completely lost faith in this company and have yet to receive the books that I have ordered.

Just bought a book for €7.35. Total appeared as €7.35 and I have now been charged €3.80!!!!! for delivery - more than half the cost of the book!!! Tried to go back when it flashed up but was too late.
Will NEVER buy from this website again.

super, super fast shipping! Arrived the day after I placed my order. Great range of books

Basically what everyone else here is saying. DO NOT ORDER OFF EASONS ONLINE.

Pre ordered a book with them, because the website explicitly states that preorders will be dispatched to arrive on date of delivery. Still haven't gotten the dispatch confirmation, despite the book being published. Thought I'd be good support the Irish business and all that, but they are just inefficient and bad. Friends ordered off amazon and Dubray and got theirs on the day. Easons are a waste of time, less inclined to even go to their stores now.

Just tried ordering two items via the Easons website. The order failed but my Paypal account was still debited.

Businesses as large as Easons should invest more into these revenue channels - I should have received more info than "Please try again" and being logged out of my Easons account.

Website has been produced exceptionally poorly and cheaply.

Very poor service - we'll see how long a refund takes.

Should have read these reviews

Very disappointed with the Online ordering system
But look it’s a lesson learned
Will stick to my local book shop in future !
Even going into easons is so disheartening these days
As a book worm , I love to go in and browse and was looking for books for my daughter recently
The staff couldn’t have been less interested if they tried , too busy discussing lunch breaks
Such a pity for such an iconic Irish store to have ended up like this
