Zooba Offers Books for a Flat Cost and No Shipping Charges

by Bryan_Carey Bryan_Carey is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Online Stores & Services, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Jun 29 '06
I have been a member of many book clubs and I often quit and rejoin the same club over and over again in order to get the lowest overall cost for the greatest number of books. Traditional clubs have treated me well but there is one book club that ...

I Can Describe My Experience In One Word HORRIBLE!

by msmorvay Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 28 '07
Have you ever dealt with a company that just drove you up a wall? The said company might have something good about it that keeps you coming back but in the end there are more problems that eventually make what ever was good about it no longer worth it. ...

Popular Books, Free Shipping, No More Bookstore Lines!

by cusnwalter , Jul 27 '04
Ahh another pop up, but wait this one is interesting. $9.99 a month for the book of my choice and free shipping!! That’s to good to be true, well I soon found out it wasn’t and was. What’s Zooba?? Zooba is an online membership book ...

Zooba beats other book clubs in price and selection. No cards to return. Hooray!

by chahu , Mar 14 '07
My experience with Zooba has been positive. I joined the book club a number of years ago because I liked their prices, the books they offered, and the unique plan under which you could buy books from them. Instead of having to respond to frequent ...

I love cheap books!

by duffster17 , Sep 03 '04
My friend told me about Zooba.com - books for $9.95, free shipping, and no "featured selections" to respond to as with traditional book clubs. Of course I started by asking "What's the catch?" So I checked out Zooba and was pleasantly surprised by the ...

Reminded me of Netflix - a great combination of fun and flexibility.

by richdawg , Sep 02 '04
I came across this funky little rainbow ad banner on the NYTimes.com, and although I never click on banners, I love to read and hate paying a lot for my books. $9.95 for bestsellers was a great price, so I clicked on it. You sign up for this service ...

Low Prices for Avid Readers, and It's Addictive

by jtbooklover , Dec 14 '05
I joined Zooba several months ago, and my experience has been quite positive. Other reviewers have already described how it works, so I won't repeat what they have said. What I enjoy most is the low prices. I am able to order books that would cost me ...

DON'T GIVE ZOOBA YOUR BUSINESS unless and until they get some customer service.

by DI86239 , Jan 05 '06
I, too, am having a horrible experience with Zooba. The customer service is deplorable. I thought I might like to get it for my daughter as a Xmas gift. So, back in November, I went on the site and started to go through the order process to see if there ...

Too many problems

by friskyfidget , Apr 04 '07
The idea of Zooba is a great one, however the idea seems to be too hard implement. I've been a member for over a year and would normally buy 2-3 books a month. My problems have been that their customer service is inept, my reading list queue has been ...

ZOOBA HAS CHANGED, NOT FOR THE BETTER

by mistre , Aug 23 '07
I joined Zooba the first time about three years ago. I was happy with their service and enjoyed buying books at discounted prices. They had a telephone contact number and street address for mail contact. They had decent, individualized customer service ...

The idea is interesting but the customer service sucks.

by enchantment388 , Jan 20 '06
At first I thought this was a good company until I wanted to cancel an order I placed 10 minutes after I ordered it. I placed an order for a book, then decided I didn't actually want it. I looked everywhere on the website for a cancellation option for ...

I don't like giving negative reviews, but feel I have to speak out about ZOOBA.

by pdebusk , Mar 27 '08
The idea - the way the club is SUPPOSED to work - is great. You pay a $9.95 membership fee monthly (this fee includes shipping), maintain a reading list of books in the order you wish to receive them, and are sent one book monthly. There is a 3 book ...

Overcharge not reversed ! Uncaring, Dishonest, and Unprofessional !!!

by crazygranny9 , Dec 31 '07
I joined Zooba in the past, approv 1 year prior, and they made a mistake in my billing at that time. They listed a phone number for customer service on their website, so it wasn't difficult to contact customer service, yet I see it's no longer on the ...

What a great service! Highly recommended!

by cityslikrbeker , Oct 26 '06
While surfing the web, I came across a Zooba.com banner and clicked on it. I must admit that while their ad unit itself was not very attractive, after I landed on their site I was impressed with what I saw! Being a NetFlix member, I’m already ...

My Zooba experience has been a horrific waste of time!

by unidav , Dec 07 '05
I "joined" Zooba about six weeks ago. I created a "reading list" and was told 1 book from the list would be sent every month at a total cost of $9.95 including shipping and handling. I returned to the site after a week and there was a notice that my ...
