Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Bring When I Collect My Click & Collect Item?

Please bring your Click & Collect Order Number with you, either on a printed copy of your confirmation email or on your smartphone.

How Do I Pay For My Click & Collect Item?

Click & Collect items are paid on collection from the Waterstones bookshop where the item was reserved. The price you pay the price advertised online when the Click & Collect order was made.

What happens if the price of the item is lower in the bookshop I am collecting from than online?

You will always pay the lower price.

More often than not, our online price will either be the same or less. In the event your local bookshop is the cheaper of the two, that lower price will be the price you pay.

Can I Use Online Voucher Codes When Paying For a Click & Collect Item?

No - to take advantage of any online voucher codes, items must be ordered and paid for via Waterstones.com rather than using our Click & Collect service.

Do I earn Waterstones Plus stamps on Click & Collect purchases?

Yes - Waterstones Plus Stamps can be earned when you pay for your order upon collection, in line with the Terms and Conditions of the Waterstones Plus Scheme.

However some Waterstones Plus Stamp offers are online only and will not be applied to your Click & Collect order, it will be clearly advertised as online only when this is the case.

Can I Reserve More Than One Copy of a Book Using Click & Collect?

If you would like more than one copy of an book, you will need to place a separate reservation for each copy required.

If you wish to buy several copies of a book, we recommend adding the required quantity to your basket and place an order via our checkout on Waterstones.com, rather than via Click & Collect. Our bookshops focus on range rather than sheer quantity, and so tend to carry limited stock of each item and may be unable to fulfil larger quantities.

Is Click & Collect Available in All Waterstones Bookshops?
