Customer Service
BookendS™ is happy to do the leg work in locating any book in NZ or from offshore.
We will also guarantee without obligation our price and the books availability when we quote you.
The good thing about books is that there are plenty, the bad thing is no one has the capacity to have them all. We usually only have on our site books that have sold before or are currently in print.
Please note that prices and availability of titles may change at any time without notice. If a book is ordered that is out of print we will inform you by email and refund the value of the order or part thereof.
However we can usually find the title you are after just let us know by emailing us here.
Albeit that we are an educational specialist we are a bookseller and we are clued-up as to the goings on in the entire book industry. Given this we are able to supply any title from any source, just ask and we will seek it out for you. We carry little or no stock as we have found that by doing so we are able to reduce our costs and therefore save our clients money. With that said we are confident that we are able to supply titles as quickly as most other web-based suppliers.
BookendS™ is a gateway to all the publishers both in New Zealand and overseas.
Because we have access to such a large number of products it would be unproductive to produce a printed catalogue as this is both bad for the environment and adds cost for you. We consider the range we offer on our site and the way it is categorized should be very helpful. If you want to get a catalogue that is publisher specific let us know and we will endeavour to get one for you without obligation.
The people who operate a BookendS™ understand the large range available and as such are very adept at pin-pointing what is suitable for the needs of our clients. Due to the fact we are independent we are impartial and your choice is important to us. We also understand that sometimes the information on our website is not enough for our school customers. BookendS™ is able in most cases to provide inspection copies to our school customers. Sadly we cannot extend this service to anyone who is not a school customer.
At BookendS™ we are focused on our clients needs. Because of this we find it imperative to discuss your requirements so that we can best meet your needs in a timely and cost effective manner.

It goes without saying that efficiencies in your schools book buying is our aim, both from a time and savings basis. We are more than happy to better our relationships with our clients. We are able to quote for the requirements of all departmental orders within your school. With a strong working relationship we are confident of offering excellent efficiencies in time and savings in your purchases.
Speaking of efficiencies most publishers in New Zealand now print their titles overseas. Delays in reprints occur often. As such we recommend that our Secondary customers order titles they require for Term One in Term Four to ensure delivery. We will happily place the order deliver the books and invoice you for them when Term One arrives.
