      I have to say I got a lot of my Christmas gifts from Christianbook and I was very happy with the pricing and shipping, I've never had a problem with any of my purchases from years past my family and friends loved their gifts they asked me for the information on where I got them, so awesome great experience.Thank you, Christianbook

      I expected more from a Christian **** company. We only wanted to return/exchange a planner. We've been customers for so many years and they have really changed. Talking to the 'customer service' representatives is pointless. They are annoyed you have emailed or called in the 1st place and unhelpful from there. When Amazon has a better policy and better customer service why would we continue to shop with people who don't even want to help with a simple exchange? If it's something this small, how would they handle anything bigger or more difficult??

      On 26 Sep 2023, I ordered some materials to place in Christmas gift bags for an appreciation I singlehandedly prepare, provide for, and execute every year (3rd year) since COVID, in honor of my local police department . When I ordered those items in September, they were priced at $10.79 each. I purchased 7 of the items - one for the top two leadership positions and one for the leads of each division. After meeting with the Chief of Police's Administrative Assistant, I decided to order 5 more copies - one for the Sergeants of each shift as well as one for myself so that I may see exactly what I was giving, in its entirety. In order to save money, Because I also cook chili to feed 100+ individuals, I intentionally waited for Cyber Monday in order to get the items at a "Black Friday" rate. Upon locating the item on Cyber Monday, I found that is was listed at 40% off the original price. This is where it gets bad. The item was still the same price as when I bought it in September. However, now it was superficially marked up to $17.99. From $17.99, it was then marked down 40% by an indication of a line drawn through the $17.99 bringing the pricing to the original amount of $10.79 when I bought it in September. Yes, I still purchased the item because it is from my heart to do for people who selflessly sacrifice by leaving their families every time they go to work to protect others'. I was disturbed and disappointed by the practices I have witnessed from the secular environment, but I would never expect such from an organization assigning themselves as ************ I have personally seen tags marked up to the percentage point of deception only to be marked down on the same tag by that percentage amount in order to look like a bargain. I've not heard it second hand but have personally witnessed it. Again, I simply would have never expected a Christian ****** (by name) to follow suit. I still will purchase from them but if I find a more honest ****** to buy items from I will.

      We apologize for any confusion regarding your recent purchase.    The 40% discount applies to the retail price of $17.99, and upon reviewing your order, we confirmed that the correct amount was charged.    Please note that the current offer on our website is $11.99 for the same product.    We hope this clarifies the pricing, and if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

      Wonderful company that has supplied this ministry with hundreds of ********* books and nearly 200 Bibles. As always, excellent prices matched by the excellent products, and a proven readiness to stand behind each sale. Most impressed. Highly recommended. 5 stars +Rev. *************************** Theological Foundations Ministries ************* ******

      Product: Brain Games Bible Crossword Puzzles I cannot believe this company is selling this book while knowing, that not only are the puzzles not Bible based, less than half actually are. This important fact should have been stated in the description, false advertisement... I wasted my time and money on this product and have sent it back to you; all of this was for nothing. Your buyer should be fired, they are obviously only doing their job for the money and couldnt be bothered to check the product. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Clearly honestly and integrity is not present and you have the audacity to have ********* in your company name.No longer a customer ******

      On March 30, I ordered a leather Bible, with name, a Bible cover with initials and several study supplies as a gift for my son. All was stated "in stock". Add extra 4-5 days for embroidery. I have received no communication from #Christianbooks I called today to be told their embroidery machine was down their computers are not working correctly and no knowledge of why the Bible was never shipped. Very disappointed in the lack of communication on a 200.+ order that was marked as a gift.

      We apologize for the unfortunate and unusual situation that occurred here. We experienced a network outage which affected our ability to handle orders and communicate with customers during that time, and did our best to offer assistance to customers once we were back up and running. This was a unique situation which has since been resolved.

      I ordered on 2/26/2023 a movie called ***** Revolution. They sent me a book the ***** Revolution. I called them and told them I ordered a movie and not a book. The said the movie won't be out for another month. They also said that the book was a copy of the movie that is coming out. They said to send it back at my cost. Their mistake in not stipulating that it was a book and not the **** So unfair that they will not take the blame and make me pay to return it.********

      We apologize for any misunderstanding that took place here. We try to be as clear as possible in our item titles for reasons just such as this - where a title is the same, but the type of item (paperback book, hardcover book, DVD, etc.) is different. We received the returned item and have issued a full refund for the merchandise. Upon further review, we have also refunded for the original postage costs.
