Customer feedback
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently bought a book for a niece and it was great to have a wide selection of New Zealand authors to choose from. Especially without having to go to a big chain store. The whole process was really easy and I will likely come back and buy other books in the future.Posted on Google Ian HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great quality cardboard books. Excellent service and quick delivery. NZ authors, what more could you want.Posted on Google Gill StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The "Rangitoto" book is beautifully illustrated, with many interesting facts about the volcano,, and was promptly delivered. A very good buy.Posted on Google Fran JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered the book "Rangitoto" as a birthday present for a 6 year old grandson from Wisconsin USA. He climbed Rangitoto on a recent visit to NZ so the book will be meaningful, especially as there are no volcanoes in Wisconsin ! The book itself is excellent and delivery was prompt.Posted on Google Barry JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great servicePosted on Google C FitzgeraldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having just visited the Chathams I was delighted to find a copy of “Old Blue”, the story of Don Merton’s team saving the Chatham Islands Black Robin from extinction, was available. Service was efficient and prompt. Thanks Kate.Posted on Google Marilyn WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family love supporting The Kiwi Kids Book Store.

Found this store when searching for a specific NZ kids’ book that wasn’t available in local chain stores. Easy online ordering, arrived very quickly in time for a secret santa gift. Flawless service. PS. Can definitely recommend Masher by Fifi Colston for 7-11y boys (I’m sure girls would love it too)Posted on Google Rochelle PhippsGoogle rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 18 reviews
