King's English Reviews

I went in hoping to find a nice gift, there were a few cute things that caught my eye. But at the same time, the whole gift section felt limited. I kept thinking I might find something better if I looked a little longer, but there just wasn’t much variety, and a lot of it didn’t feel that special. Kind of frustrating because it seemed promising at first, but I ended up buying a gift somewhere else.

I left feeling unwelcome. The staff seemed a bit short with me, and when I asked a couple of simple questions, they didn’t come across very friendly or helpful. I also wasn’t really told what the next steps were or what I was supposed to do after, so I felt kind of awkward and confused. Maybe they were just having a busy day, but the whole experience put me off wanting to go back.

I stopped in looking for a little help finding a book, but the staff didn’t really seem to know much about the titles or where to point me. They were nice enough, just... not really able to answer my questions

This store layout was a nightmare. I was just trying to find books like a normal person, but the menus were scattered everywhere and nothing felt easy to follow. The pages looked so cluttered that I kept clicking around in pure confusion, hoping something would finally make sense. After a few minutes of this chaos, I gave up completely. 1 star

I had a question about my order and, the reply took longer than I expected. They did get back to me eventually and were perfectly polite, but I had to follow up once, which made me wonder if my message had just been ignored or pushed aside. Nothing terrible happened, and it wasn’t a bad experience overall, but it didn’t feel super smooth either. I might order again, but I’d be a bit hesitant if I needed quick help.

I placed an order online and ended up waiting way longer than expected. My sister was with me and we both kept wondering what was taking so long. It was frustrating enough that I probably won’t order that way again

I actually like ordering from King's English overall, but the stock info isn’t always as clear as I’d hope. One book showed as available, and then I got a message saying it was out of stock, which was kind of annoying. They did keep me updated though, and the rest of my order came through fine. Not a bad experience, I just wish the inventory details were a little more reliable.

The parking was the biggest hassle for me. There wasn’t much space at all, and finding a spot were annoying.

I ordered a book from kingsenglish.com and was disappointed with how it showed up. The packaging was super flimsy, basically just a thin mailer with barely any protection. Yikes. The corners were bent and the cover had some marks on it too. Meh. I expected better, especially for a new book.

I placed a special order and it just turned into a mess. I waited weeks and still couldnt get a clear update on what was going on.

I tried using King's English, but maybe it’s just me — I had a really hard time navigating it with my screen reader. The menus felt kind of messy, and a few buttons didn’t seem to read correctly. I ended up getting frustrated and giving up quickly.

I tried using the website and it was just annoying from the start. I kept clicking around, kept not finding what I needed, and kept ending up in menus that felt messy and confusing. It wasn’t impossible to use, but it definitely felt like way more work than it should be.

On my phone it got even more frustrating. Some pages loaded weird, I kept having to go back, and I kept feeling like I was going in circles. It just wasn’t smooth, wasn’t clear, and after a few minutes I gave up

The place felt really cramped and kind of gloomy inside. I was already tired, and it just felt like one more thing I had to deal with instead of somewhere I could relax

There just wasn’t much to choose from. I was expecting more options, and yeah, the selection felt limited. I looked around a bit, thought maybe I was missing something, but nope, it was just kind of weak overall.

The communication was frustrating. I reached out, waited, followed up again... and still didn’t really get a proper reply. It just felt like no one was actually paying attention or taking the time to respond clearly...

I really wanted to feel good about supporting a local business, but the experience just didn’t land that way. My order was wrong when it arrived, and it took longer than expected to get any kind of response, which was frustrating because I’d been hoping for that more personal, community-minded kind of service.
I did reach out to try to sort it out, but the reply felt dismissive and there wasn’t much effort to make things right. Maybe it was just an off day and others have had better luck, but for me it was a reminder that “local” still has to come with care and accountability. I probably wouldn’t use them again based on this experience

I think reviews are way more helpful when people share something that actually happened to them. Like, if you had a real issue or experience, just say that instead of making something up. That’s what I’d want to read when I’m trying to decide what to do. Anyone else feel the same?

Got exactly what I ordered and everything was fine, so no complaints from me. that’s all I really hope for when I order something online. I was making coffee when it showed up and got distracted for a minute because my dog was losing his mind at the delivery truck, but once I opened it up, everything was there and correct. Straightforward, no issues.

I was hoping it would feel a bit more active and welcoming, but my experience was quiet overall. I didn’t see much real interaction, and I never really felt included. To be fair, I’m only going off my own time there, so maybe I missed the more active parts or others had a better experience. For me, though, it was kind of disappointing.

I actually liked how kingsenglish.com puts things together. Most of what I came across felt like it belonged there, not just stuff added to fill space. There were a couple picks I probably would’ve skipped, but I didn’t feel like I had to dig through endless random options, which was kind of the whole point for me.
