TeaTime Bookshop Reviews 

Just completed my third subscription with the TeaTime Bookshop and I have absolutely loved them. I've always chosen the Thriller subscription and they've never disappointed.

I was really excited to find that they did genre specific subscriptions. I thought I would try the fantasy and sci-fi box as a one-off purchase before signing up for a yearly subscription which I am very glad I did as I will not be ordering from them anymore.
I received two books with one being the THIRD in a series (what is the point!) and the other having literally one review on Goodreads which was by the author themselves!
I was really excited for this concept and was looking forward to getting a surprise each month but it is not to be with this subscription service.

I bought a subscription for my mum and she absolutely loves it! Such a lovely, personal gift and the service was great, I'd recommend to anyone

After receiving a boxset for Christmas I am
a fan of the concept. Who wouldn't love receiving a novel and a bottle of wine?!
I have now purchased a six month subscription for my goddaughter, making the most of the preloved selection.
I wax lyrical about this company and encourage everyone to try it!

Good reliable good value. inspiring choices and prompt service

I took out a subscription for my sister who is an avid crime fiction reader. Every one has been excellent, she’s loved each book & the tea &biscuits that come with them are lovely. I went for the secondhand books option & all of them have been as good as new.

Super! My daughter absolutely loved getting books addressed to her through the post! Thoughtful choice of books and pitched really well for the age group.

Mum loved the gift . I made a mistake with the address and Amy corrected it quickly for me. Great communication and apparently the biscuits are delicious too 😀

I gifted a 6 month subscription to my daughter for her birthday. She has absolutely loved receiving her parcel every month. I chose her the 'Surprise Me' selection as she loves many different genres. Teatime Bookshop were super efficient and always kept us updated as to when the next parcel was on its way. The whole ordering process was very easy and simple. I will definitely be gifting a Teatime Bookshop subscription again.

Bought the 3 month two new rom com books as a subscription christmas gift for my mum. The kindly offered to delay the first book until 1st week in January. First book sent third week in January after chasing and I had to chase the next two months after that. To top it off, the one book was the second in a series so absolutely pointless and the others I saw in the Works as part of their 3 books for £7.50. This cost £50 for 6 books.
Waste of time.

I was gifted a three month subscription and loved receiving my parcel, discovering new authors, teas and biscuits! I was so impressed that I’ve set up a subscription for a family member, and I know she’ll love it. I had to make changes to despatch information and the sales staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Easy website to use and my subscription was delivered quickly. The 2 books chosen seem a good selection for my romcom category and Mum was delighted with it (present for mother's day)

Absolutely awful. Purchased a childrens one off, little children book box, 4 to 7 years - used books. Site says they will be in excellent used condition which they certainly are not.
One has water marks everywhere, one is bent and literally from 1998, one has dirt over the back and dented and the last one the pages have fallen out. These are books are heavily used and not worth the £12 paid.

Shocking.

Books good but I went for the hot chocolate and biscuit option and it is just a sachet - not worth the extra money spent.

I ordered a subscription box as a Christmas present to be delivered in the first week of January. No delivery appeared until I contacted customer services; delivery finally appeared in the third week of January. This month’s delivery has not yet arrived though customer services tell me it is being prepared. 3stars because customer services have replied promptly and the book box was good quality when it finally arrived.

I have gifted a few of the teatime bookshop subscriptions now and not only do my loved ones love the boxes themselves and the books, but I've also received fantastic and quick customer service when I have needed it (for instance delaying delivery of a few boxes in the monthly subscription). A really well put together gift subscription, and the books have all been winners.

The company is very inflexible and the books are not bestsellers. Will not renew.

Great christmas present, a very nice package, and delivered in plenty of time :)

A thoughtful ,diverse and welcoming treat.
I love the idea that someone else is choosing something for me based on my likings and preferences and the little extras ( coffee sachets ,hot chocolate or tea bags and delightful bookmarks ) really makes it feel like a warm hug arriving in the post each month .
