How are Feefo reviews collected?

We independently collect feedback on behalf of the businesses that work with us. Our platform only reaches out to verified buyers, so you can be sure you’re reading reviews from real customers.

Who can leave a Feefo review?

Only customers with proof of purchase can leave a Feefo review. We ensure this by reaching out to buyers straight after their transaction.

How do we verify reviews?

We verify that reviews are from genuine customers by matching them to a sale or transaction. People are only invited to leave a review after purchasing from the business.

How do we deal with fake reviews?

Feefo prevents people from leaving fake reviews because we only invite verified buyers to give feedback.

Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry one of the items was out of stock, we usually aim to have things back in as quickly as we can, but demand at this time of year can make that take a little longer in some cases. Great to hear your local bookshop is now part of the network, if you haven't done so already, you could have your next order delivered to store, and see what else they have to offer!
