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.

Brilliant alternative

What a fabulous alternative to being able to buy online, yet support local stores too. Brilliant. Always happy with any order we’ve had so far, and I’m sure we will going forward

No problems at all. Books were here in record time and packed up well. They were reasonably priced too. Only snag was delivery charge.

Very efficient.

Excellent service, fast delivery. Great selection of books, stationery, gifts and other items. Always find what I am looking for, and sometimes additional items. Great for gifts.

Accurate descriptions to avoid unnecessary faff

Hive are usually 5-star for buying books, etc, in all respects. However, this year when I tried to order something I order every year, the description on the website didn't include colour this time...

Books arrived quickly and in amazing condition, packaging was great as it fit the books and didn't waste cardboard by having books in a massive box like other companies!
